Location: Yucaipa, California | Just wondering whether the songbook you put together for the Black Hills Gathering at Alison's will be available for download (PDF) ....perhaps from the "ning" site?
It looked like a great compilation!
I'd be happy to contribute if costs become an issue.
Thanks, |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I left extras with Alison, but I'm not sure how many might still be on hand. The locals picked up a few. I need to review the charts as there are some updates. I can then convert them all back to PDF and divide the book up into four files of about 50 pages each. If the files can be downloaded to the Ning site, we should be o.k. I'll need some time. |

I'm not trying to rush you, but was just curious as it seems like a VERY NICE compilation!
You have no idea how much I wanted to be there!
I lived in Hot Springs from 1974-1980 and played in the "House Band" (The Medicine Springs Band) in the bar (The Medicine Springs Saloon) that was across the parking lot from Alison's shop!
I also worked for the Hot Springs City Engineering Department as a Drafter/Survey Assistant.
I don't know whether it's still there, but I made a map of the City (9-feet high x 13' long) that was displayed in the City Council Chambers!
Seeing those pictures really tore me up! I used to go fishing with Alison's landlord Jerry!
Her store was the one store lacking when I was there. To buy anything "musical" you had to drive to Rapid City!
I know how important Alison's shop is for that town and wish her only the best! |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The '54 Chevy is owned by the guy who operates the repair shop next door to Alison's store. It is definitely a driver, in great shape, but not so much so that you'd be afraid to park it anywhere. That's exactly how I like older cars. He'd leave the keys in the car everyday with the top down. One day he drove off in it, so we know it was a driver. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Great idea. I have five copies. I'd like to keep at least one for the shop, and there's one guy who attended the workshop who didn't get one. I'll send one off to Jerome. That leaves two.
And by the way, I want to thank Grif for designing the cover. I was going to get t-shirts made up, but to do such a small run the price was ridiculous. BUT, Cal next door is talking about doing his own t-shirts and his prices will be much better. As soon as he gets the equipment I'll have some made up for Grif and all the folks who attended. |

Location: south east Michigan | I have no idea of how much work it is to put a download together but if it happens I'd appreciate it. You never know what little gems you might find.
BTW.... If anyone whats a disc of my songbook stuff let me know. Just be ready for a lot of British Invasion stuff. It's kinda of dis-organized but half the fun is in the searching.
If you have a Slipkid Trinket, you already have it. |

Out of the over the 100 jam pics I have so far, no...
I do recall they were there together. Hopefully, everyone will send me their pics for the photo CD! |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I now have the Jam Book in five pdf files consisting of the cover and four files of about 50 to 58 pages each. The latter four files range in size between 2.1 and 2.5 meg. Anybody have any ideas on how to proceed? It is time-consuming to email them out piecemeal. I'd rather post them someplace and folks can just download them at their discretion. |
