Well, yeah, he's named Steve too, and Guyger is a great player whose name has come up; we'll probably have him as a performer at some point when everything aligns to make it possible for him to come to a SPAH convention.

But Steve Baker brings a lot more than just being a great player named Steve. One of them is bringing international participation and flavor to the SPAH convention, and we've found that we can't do that as informally as we might have in the past, due to both ICE and IRS requirements. American performers can play anywhere in Europe with absolutely no hassle, but Europeans face big obstacles in coming to the US to perform, even if they're not paid a dime.
