Location: big island | aloha and howdy y'all!
what started out as a molehill idea for a couple OFC guys to meet and have lunch is now generating into a mountain of interest with other OFC'ers in and out of the general vicinity of asheville, nc. ahh...beautiful, historic asheville.
here's the tentative idea: it will consist of a one-day, pot-luck, jam-session at a location TBA probably in or near asheville on saturday, june 9th.
wives, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, parents, siblings, cousins, in-laws and out-laws are all invited and expected (only if you have any).
i imagine we will get started with the fun, food and festivities around 10am and last until...the final OFC'er has busted the last string remaining on the last guitar or all the kids have worn us out, whichever happens first.
so far, begginjim, blues sailor, trboy, jpcannon
and myself are seriously considering this opportunity. if anyone else is game, please signify by typing "aye". you don't have to be from the southeast to qualify. just practice your drawl between now and then. just cuz we couldn't all make it to the shindig in yankee new hartford, doesn't mean we can't throw a rebel party in the carolinas. oh, and banjos, mandolins, dobros, ukuleles, dulcimers, washtub basses, scrubboards and bagpipes are all welcome. |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | Sorry Lanaki, the family is going to be stuck in LA awaiting our car that weekend. We start driving across country to Virginia on the 11th. Hoping things shake out to maybe hookup with Moody or Tupperware for lunch or something during our trip but right now that's even too far out to plan.

best wishes for a wonderful and memorable trek across the mainland. "stuck in LA" sounds like the title of a bad melodrama. i know you will miss the islands, but you will eventually return upon your official retirement, right? hawaii will keep calling you no matter where you roam, by the way. she is in your blood by now. |

I'm hoping someone can do something similar with the tour/jam.
I've got the '05 and '06 tour DVD heading this way. If it's OK with Waskel, I'll burn a copy for Oz and Richard, if they want one. |

My schedule is very flexable, (they don't miss me at work) BUT...and its a big but, she has to check with her work as they do miss her if shes gone. (she has a real job) If its ok with them, then it's a go. I'll keep you posted. |

If it is a go, we will do the river with you. We always go with Nantahala Outfitters. They seem to have really good guides and we always have a hoot! |

Just checking my schedule and looks like that would fit in with my travel plans; I'm in Lake Junealuska from the 10th to the 13th so this would be on my way one day earlier. Trying to co-ordinate with my wife and her schedule but put us down tenitively and keep us informed of the specifics; We'd love to meet everyone! (I'm thinking 1758 12er for this bash/gig/hoedown/event/happening)...well anyway, I can't wait...two great events in one month...just what I needed! See ya there!

Randy, does this mean we have to get song sheets together? Anything in D, C, G and maybe an E or two will work for me! That's chords by the way!!!
I'll be bringin' the 1867, 1778 and 1158 (known as Ol' Blingy). I, however, will be leaving the 22, 38, and 45 at home. It is, after all, a family event.
Well, 10-4! |

songsheets would be great. i'd hate to have to pack and travel with mine so perhaps they can be generated/printed on your end (whoops, more innuendo :D )
a great site is www.cowboylyrics.com click on the letters of the alphabet and then print away the chords/tabs to your heart's content. DO NOT GET SIDETRACKED STARING AT THE SCANTILY CLAD WAHINE WHO IS USUALLY FEATURED IN THE BANNER ACROSS THE TOP!!! |

Well, I'd invite you (and if you're brave you're welcome) to stay wherever it is that we'll stay Saturday night but with a 4 month old that is teething...well you get the picture I'm sure...I do love to share the joy but I'm compassionate as well, lol! BTW, if you need a guitar, I'll bring several; not sure if you're bringing one from the islands. Looking forward to it as much as going on my first tour and jam in CT in 10 days! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | BTW, for first time visitors to the South, here is a bit of local info:
TRAVEL WARNING
Issued by the Southern Tourism Bureau to ALL visiting Northerners, Northeastern Urbanites, and Canadians:
1) Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at the Waffle House. It's just a diner. They serve breakfast24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. If you confuse them, they'll kick your butt.
2) Don't laugh at our Southern names. (Merleen, Bodie, Ovine, Luther Ray, Tammy Lynn, Darla Beth, Inez, Billy Joe, Sissy, etc.) These people have all been known to kick butt.
3) Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda down here. Down here it's called Coke. Nobody gives a flying damn whether it's Pepsi, RC, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up or whatever- it's still a Coke. Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to an butt kicking.
4) We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you (e.g., Welt, Williams, Faulkner). We are also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don’t refer to us as a bunch of hillbillies, or we'll kick your butt.
5) We have plenty of business sense (e.g., Fred Smith of Fed Ex, Turner Broadcasting, MCI WorldCom, MTV, and Netscape). Naturally, we do, sometimes, have small lapses in judgment (e.g., Carter, Edwards, Duke, Barnes). We don't care if you think we are dumb. We can still kick your butt.
6) Don't laugh at our Civil War monuments. If Lee had listened to Longstreet and flanked Meade at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett up the middle, you'd be paying taxes to Richmond instead of Washington. If you visit Stone Mountain and complain about the carving, we’ll kick your butt.
7) We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut the heck up, spend your money, and get the heck out of here -- or we'll kick your butt.
8) Don't order wheat toast at Cracker Barrel. Everyone will instantly know that you're from Ohio. Eat your biscuits like God intended, with plenty of sausage gravey. Don't put sugar on your grits, or we'll kick your butt.
9) Don't fake a Southern accent. This will incite a riot, and you will get your butt kicked.
10) Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we don't give a dang. Many of us have visited Northern hellholes like Detroit, Chicago, and DC, and we have the scars to prove it. If you don’t like it here, Delta is ready when you are. Take your butt home before it gets kicked.
11) Yes, we know how to speak proper English. We talk this way because we don't want to sound like you. We don’t care if you don't understand what we are saying. All other Southerners understand what we are saying, and that's all that matters. Now, go away, or we'll kick your butt.
12) Don't complain that the South is dirty and polluted. None of OUR lakes have caught fire like scenic Lake Erie once did. Whine about OUR scenic beauty, and we'll kick your butt all the way back into Boston Harbor.
13) Don't ridicule our Southern manners. We say "sir" and "ma'am," hold doors open for others, and offer our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet little gray-haired grandmothers or they'll kick some manners into your butt just like they did ours.
14) So you think we're quaint or losers because most of us live in the countryside? That's because we have enough sense not to live in smelly, crime-infested cesspools like New York or Baltimore. Make fun of our fresh air, and we'll kick your butt.
15) Don't claim that we can't run an election. The problem is in Florida, a northern state. Claiming Florida is part of the South will get your butt thoroughly kicked.
16) Last, but not least, DO NOT DARE come down here trying to tell us how to cook Barbecue. This will get your butt shot off (right after it is kicked). You’re lucky we let you come down here at all. Question our sacred BBQ, and you go home in a pine box----minus your butt!
(edited for content: I am a Minister,lol)
I couldn't pass this up! Enjoy!
:D |

I will be talking to some people today, trying to find a site for the Blue Ridge Mountain's Family Jamboree. (I would use OFC in there but I see that it's Trademarked) Maybe Miles will give us permission to include it.
Then we can have t-shirts made that say "Get Plugged in the Mountains". Hmmm...that may be easily misinterpretted?! :D Well, I will leave the slogans up to ya'll. |

interestingly, i have never played, nor attempted to play that song. i like it though.
so...jim and i think we have the location and he has reserved the French Broad River Park for us. directions to follow soon. does anyone plan on spending the night, friday or saturday, in the area?
let me know and i'll check on the rates at where my family is staying at the Mountain Inn & Suites a few miles south of the park. i know it is nice and certainly $20-30 less than the nearby Holiday Inn. |

Location: big island | the french broad river park is on Amboy Road which runs adjacent to I-26 in asheville. if you are traveling in a northerly direction on I-26 you will take exit 6, make a left at the end of the ramp and continue to where that road which is called Long Shoals dead ends at Amboy. make a right and the park will be on your right side in 3-4 miles.
if you are getting onto I-26 off of I-40, take exit 2 and make a left on to Amboy Road. you will pass biltmore square mall on your left. continue on a couple miles to the park which will be on your left.
unfortunately, the city of asheville's parks and recreation site is under construction for their maps link or else i would post something more formal. |

Feel free to PM me if you want to. i can check from this end as well but it will be Friday or Monday before I can check. Thanks for spearheading this event: sounds like it will be a GAS!

Location: NJ | Barney was the illegitimate child of Floyd the Barber and AuntBea (that's why Andy never sh!t-canned him after all of his screw-ups).
They just never "detailed" that part in the script (pretty much the same way Floyd just unexplainably "disappeared" after Andy caught him in the back-room of the barber shop with Opie). |

Location: big island | thanks, cliff. i am glad someone in-the-know finally cleared the air on that controversy.
just as a matter of record, floyd didn't actually "disappear". he hitch-hiked to california and caught a matson barge to hawaii. he eventually started up a tourist escort service in honolulu. changed his name to chapman and hired chad gates, aka elvis presley as a tour guide. he then traveled back and forth to mt. airy, nc rather incognito for the next six years. |

Boy, I must have skimmed over this before. I not only have to learn more chords (than the 3 that I already know) and more songs (than the 5 that I already know) but now I am actually expected to learn Hawaiian too?! Sheez, I haven't learned this much since...since...since I can't remember when.
Well I am sure that it will be worth it to watch your wife do the Hula! But Randy, seriously now, we only want to see your wife do the hula. Remember your back, your old, can't play a deep bowl, tired, needing medical assistance back?
Need I say more?! Remember the "video threat" if you have any ideas otherwise. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I can bring my vintage 1968 Kazoo. Yep, the one that I played in third grade music class. I sent it back to the tin factory (no cheap plastic back then) and they refinished it with lead paint and a new piece of wax paper over the sound hole. Plays like new, but with a loose more broken in sound. Talk about a treat!. I have not yet mastered playing it with my guitar though because I can't find a neck Kazoo holder anywhere.
Any ideas? |

Okay.
Stick your head through a coathanger. Stretch, pull, and bend it 'till it sits nice and firm on your shoulders.
Get the hook part in front, bend it up in front of your face. (Be careful not to poke your eyes out, Mom will have a fit.) Straighten and bend it up in front of your face. With pliers, bend the end of the now straightened hook around your kazoo. Duct-tape it in place. (It's not a real handyman project without duct tape, eh?)
Now, go outside and blow! |

please don't bother to show up at the good ol' boys southern-style jam with either a kazoo superglued to your lips or wearing a coat hanger and duct tape. we don't wanna get thrown outta the park before we get tuned up. besides, asheville is a respectable place.
i have a harmonica holder which will easily accomodate your kazoo. |

(besides "i was drunk the day my mama got out of prison")
edit: does anyone that is ATTENDING this function care to suggest a theme song for us?

Location: GA USA | For a theme song, my first thought was Honeysuckle Blue by Drivin\' n Cryin\' . It's sort of a local anthem about showing the beauty of the south to those who haven't seen it. Anybody else heard it?
I play it:
Intro: A-G-D-A
Verse: A-E-G-D-A
Man, only 3 weeks away. I confess that I know very few singalong songs, and the songs I play most, nobody knows. Most of my playing has been praise band related. I'm going to try to learn as many off Randy's list as I can. They look pretty easy.
I'll try to suggest a few this week too. |

Randy (Lanaki) may have further updates that I am not aware of.
FYI, I recieved info that there is no power where we will be having the gettagetha. We will just have to go the acoustic route and play LOUD. Also, we decided that it would be easier for everyone to pack in their own lunch, etc.
I am looking forward to meeting you and the rest of gang. If I can get anyone any info, just PM me or let me know here.

Location: big island | general question: being not generally familiar with generators, do they need to be generating power as we are generating music or do they generally store the power for later use?
i'm just generalizing, but i can just see us trying to generate some good music as they are generating power and i think there would be a "generation gap" in the harmony between the two.
also, general jim would have to see if generators are generally allowed at this park.
jim and i will be meeting on the 6th to check out the facility and our options. the location may change so stay tuned. bottom line is: if we go totally acoustic, that would be okay too. |

your generator will power one amp (If I understand what Honda tells me about it). Musicmike mentioned a Carvin PA system with 6 mikes, etc. I don't kmow if this requires more power than your generator or not. Ok MM, whatcha thinkin?
The parks commission is asking for the size of the generator, I think I will tell them that it will be large enough to light up the Biltmore Estate if needed. "Yes Dear, uh..huh, yes goverment people honey" Well, my lovely wife tells me that may not be such a good idea, something about misinterpreting what "light up" means.
Randy, my mother told me "that Sugar (pronounced shoe-ga) melts in the rain." :eek: |

that's a great old Allman Bros. song (and Govt. Mule). I might be able to play a few of those chords. (but only softly so that no one can hear my mistakes).
Look forward to hearing you play it!

Also, here is Pieces of April . I do it in A also, but I sing it more like the Dave Loggins version than the Three Dog Night.
Hey, I just thought, while we're on 3DN, me might try Shambala . I haven't tried out these chords yet, being at work. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I have talked to Trboy today and he is checking the amp output from his 1000 watt Honda generator. If some you electricity geeks out there could translate watts to amps it would be appreciated.
Phoenix, Thanks for stopping by, I visted your thread @ HFC and it looks to be quite the shindig. Maybe I can come join you next year. (that is a threat by the way). The Hamer Hot sauce :eek: sounds like quite a treat. Y'all have fun now, ya hear!

thanks for the info on the generator!
This will give us all the opportunity to hear our favorites through an amp and/or PA.
If it can't provide enough power we may have to do a few minor alterations. ARH..ARH..ARH..ARH (Tim the Toolman Taylor) |

Be careful wabbit and fhixx. jim, chords written with a slash ex: D/F# or C/G, are specific to playing an alternate bass note with the chord. a C/G chord is sometimes called a "full C". you play a normal C but your ring finger goes to the low E (sixth)string at the third fret (it's a G note on the bass string, hence the C/G) and your pinky plays the fifth string 3rd fret. |

If I haven't mentioned it before, the Gazebo, hereinafter to be known as THE STAGE, does not have any seats. There are picnic tables on the deck surrounding THE STAGE. Add seats of your choosing to the "Thangs Ta Brang" List. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Here is an update: there has been a personell problem at the Hospital where my wife works: she is now the only RN on her shift with two CNA's helping her: she is working 5 nights a week as they have cancelled all vacation and time off for the forseeable future. I can not go into what happened but it has affected so many families. What this means is that as of now, we have no baby sitter/child care other than several hours if I am away. She is schedualed to work the 9th, and 10th; If I cannot find a solution I cannot leave. We live in a beautiful area but abet it is a rural one and so we are our child care. I know that this will impact the gathering as I had planned bringing the PA as well as several guitars, etc. I am working to find a solution; this affects the conference for my job the next week as well that I was supposed to attend. Please keep Violetta in your prayers as this is an extreamly stressful situation for her in particular and us in general. I will keep you updated!
Blessings...

It should come up in key of G for uke
And this for Somewhere Over the Rainbow
We'll get Randy to show us the right way once we butcher them.

Be sure to look for any updates Tuesday night. Randy and I will be making a site tour that day.
Here is the current confirmed list:
Captain_Lovehandles, MusicMishka, Trboy, Designzilla, Crimsonlake, Bluessailor, Lanaki, BegginJM. Did I leave anyone out?
Jason_S..any more thoughts about attending? A man of your talent would be warmly welcome (regardless of what Heather says)
:p
We would love to have anyone else come join us for Good Music, Lots of O's and A's, beautiful mountain surroundings, and a chance to see the mugs behind the keyboards. Are we really the same in person? What else do you really have to do that's better than this?
With all of the talent that is coming I guess I will have to bring the camcorder and camera to record the Big Event. Y'all can thank me later (after hearing my lack o talent).
Best regards to all,
Jim |

So, I put it to y'all, will one plug be enough? |

If y'got a P.A., one plug is all you need.
If the the 47RI is half the guitar of it's "namesake", . . it shouldn't NEED a plug . . . |

with a good PA, we may have the whole neighborhood flocking to see what sounds like a world-class band. shoots, let's charge admission and recoup the travel expenses. shoots again, there are music industry people living in asheville. we may just get discovered... |

i carried a st. christopher medallion around for many years when i was in elementary and middle school. i was hoping for protection from all the chicano gang members that would beat us caucasians up on the way to and from school in LA county. it must have worked cuz i'm alive and typing this reply to you today, although, i was beaten up a few times.
nowadays, i realize i can go straight to the Source for protection and that i am a saint as much as christopher.
jim mentioned to me yesterday that you would not be able to make it. i was hoping you could cuz i was going to give you our supply of hand sanitizer. :D we'll probably catch you at next year's OFC tour though. |

Ah yes, Randy you and I have very much in common. I was a Catholic in my early years. Now I am not, as you are not also....No need to be canonized (sp?) we are there! :D enjoy your times in NC and Tenn, only wish I could make it. :( Give Mike a howdy for me at Dollywood! |

Also, If you have a few you want to perform for us, that would be a special treat. Music, you know we're looking forward to your song(s).

I will be there by 10:00. Pretty sure Randy will be there by 10:00 too. We have the use of the facility until 6:00. I doubt anyone will run us out if we choose to stay longer.
Forecast: 90 Degrees - 40% chance of thunderstorms. |

Please post (re-post?) hotel information and directions to the park. I have reservations already for Friday night, but can change them to move to the same place others are staying.
We'll kick this thing off early!

Blues, I am going to Asheville tommorrow. I will meet Randy and we are going to the park to check everything out. I will post directions to the park tommorrow night or Wednesday morning after the visit and will look for nearby hotels.
I am not sure who is staying Friday or Saturday or where. If everyone would like to PM or e-mail me about where they are staying and when, I will try to be the clearing house so to speak.
I am coming Saturday morning (only an hour and a half drive) and am thinking of staying in a hotel that night.
Happy Birthday Blues, look forward to seeing ya! |

Randy is staying about twenty minutes down the road in Hendersonville, so I may check out the same there, but in a previous conversation with him I believe he is going to his father's Saturday night to visit.
I will know ALOT more tomorrow! |

Don't I know it!
Looks like there is no central layover point in Asheville on Friday night, so I'll keep my current reservations. I'll be in Friday night about 7-8 pm and will be available Saturday morning to help set-up. I've got extra chairs and a music stand. I'll also bring 2 guitar stands, but I'll have 3 guitars.
Lookin' forward to it!

But I'm really worried about her. She has had cardiac issues in the past. I just want to make sure she's going to be OK. We have both really been looking forward this. My wife really feels extra bad cause she feels guilty that we can't make the trip because of her. I really wish we could be there. I know it's going to be a blast. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I am going to meet Randy at about High Noon in Hendersonville. I have spoken with him on the phone, and he had a safe trip, still tired from the time difference.
First time I have heard his voice, so here were our thoughts (I am assumming for him):
Jim on Randy: Hmmm...doesn't sound Hawaiian?!
Randy on Jim: Yep...Redneck, just as I thought!
Well, I will post later this evening with interesting answers to boring questions, such as:
Is Lanaki REALLY HAWAIIAN?
Is BegginJM REALLY A REDNECK?
(Hint: you already know the answer to one of these questions.)
(I can take advantage of Randy becuase he is without a computer at the moment) :eek: |

More like Gazebo with a few pinic tables and a deck around, as in near it. Should be a lovely place however for the Jam. Great shade, facilities (not outhouses) right by Gazebo, walking trails for dogs, people, bikers.
Look in my albums for a few pics of Gazebo.
I am going to post directions and hotel info shortly.

Location: Simpsonville, SC | After researching hotels near the park, I have found a number of them to be sold out. (you can try the Comfort Suites at Biltmore Square Mall). So instead of trying for one hotel at this late date, I thought it may be better to let those that need a hotel to book one on their own. Any hotels located on Rocky Ridge Road, Wedgefield Drive, or Brevard Road are within about three miles from the Park.
Here is the map to the French Broad River Park: French Broad River Park location
PM or call me if you have any questions. I will be there by 10:00am on Saturday. My cell phone is (864) 275-5412.
Please bring lawn chairs or anything else you would like to sit on, guitar stands, a lunch of some sort, drinks of some sort (alcohol not allowed in park). There are bathrooms and plenty of shade available.
I am really looking forward to seeing everyone there.
Safe travels, Jim |

here i am typing on a sweet little laptop that jim left for me to use while i am here and he also blessed me with a cherry 1867 to strum between now and saturday. having never played an ssb before, i am quite impressed with the sound and projection of this one.
jim is a fine, upstanding young man and we had a great time carousing around asheville. he was ever-so-tolerant and accomodating.
the park location should prove to be very nice for our planned musical adventure.
my family's timeclock is 6 hours behind the local time and the jetlag has really taken its toll on us. gotta go. the kids are needing my attention. mahalo, jim!
see ya'll soon. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | For those wanting to plug in, we will have a Parks and Rec Maintenence person on site at 10:00 am with a cord. I will be there by then to meet him.
Trboy, if it's not too much trouble, would you still bring your generator? At this point, I would feel better about having it there, just in case. A big THANKS in advance. |

If you're mixing Acoustic (albeit Acoustic/Electric) Guitars and a Generator, I would recommend having an (preferrably 100') extension cord available . . . just for some "distance" . . .
HaveFun! |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Thanks for the advise Cliff. Hopefully we won't have to resort to a generator if the "Maintenence" person shows. I will throw a 100' reel in with everything else.

The small generator is fairly quite. We use it on our pontoon for night fishing....the gentle hum can lull you to sleep if night fishing weren't so exciting! :rolleyes:
.....might be a bad ideal.....the generator's gentle hum and my guitar playing....everyone will be asleep..... |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Well, it's all over but the fun now!
All that's left, is a safe and quick journey, for everyone, to Asheville.
I am very excited to have the opportunity to meet everyone, I hope that y'all feel the same way after meeting me. (Randy said I was crazy, but I never acknowleded his remark).
So, last thoughts:
1) Does Lanaki sound Hawaiian? (I know the answer to this one)
2) What is a Trboy? (Yep, know this one too)
3) Is Captain_Lovehandles just his Trucker name? (Sorry, not a clue, but I heard that most of the graffiti in the Hotlanta area was done by his gang)
4) Will CrimsonLake bring a Banjo to the Jam? (Hmmmm...please refer to earlier posts)
5) Is BluesSailor really Elvis's long lost Son? (Well uh, well uh, if you give me a uh, peanut butter, banana, and bacon samich I may tell ya)
6) Will MusicMiska live up to his reputation of fine voice and song? (sure he will, fortunately for the rest of us)
7) What is BegginJM really beggin for? (that's an easy answer. Those that attend will know immediately, other than for his lack of hair)
By the way, how do you play Happy Birthday again? Send the lyrics too, please!
Save Travels, Jim |

This way, the kids will have something to whack besides Jim's bald head. |

Capt., someone needs to knock some since into me.
Trboy, bring a bass too. We can have a little jazz trio.
Wonder what Kaki's doing this weekend? |

Can't really say how great it was! ;)
For a relative newbie here, I approached today with the uncertainty that unfamiliarity brings. After today I will approach these type of gatherings being better prepared to play the songs on the list. :o
I know that I smiled all day and said plenty of stupid things to my new found friends, even though I can't remember specifics. I also know that it all went by so quickly. There are still so many unanswered questions that I want to ask about and of these "not so strangers anymore".
I also know that if you don't close the tailgate on your Mountaineer properly, the little light comes on and says "the rear hatch is open. You are about to lose five great guitars to the highway Gods". Cracker Barrel my arse, imagining my guitars in a million pieces on I-26 is more like it! :D
Did I say how great the day was? I was humbled by the incredible talent and kindness of all that attended. Pictures to follow.
Nicky, you are my hero! Seriously!

Here were seven guys that I'd never met before, and given more time together, I feel like EVERY one will be a good friend. We're off to a great start at least.
More later, but I left the house at 5:30am and returned at 12:30 am, so I'm ready for bed. But a couple of impressions:
* If you ever get the chance to see Lanaki, TRBoy and MusicMike perform together, don't miss it. I could have listened to them for hours.
* Drivers in SC and NC pretty much obey the speed limit. What's up with that?
* Hopefully CrimsonLake will someday post the video of "Ice Cream Man", where a miscellaneous dude named Chris wandered up and assumed vocal duties. It was a scream.

Later Mrs. Lanaki asked Randy if we had done any Hawaiian music. He told her "Blue Hawaii". FYI, BH does not count as Hawaiian music, and Mr. and Mrs. L treated us to the real thing.

2) Did you draw a crowd from the other park visiters? |

The part of the park that we were in is used for walking, walking the dog, and observing the river. Many people stopped by to visit and ask what was going on. Some sat a while, some danced ane one in particular:
stopped to sing a song with us. He was attracted by Nick playing the reaper song. It was really quite a treat for us and he said that it made the day for him. He also used to own an Ovation that his father had given him (I think). Regardless, it was great fun. |

2) Did you draw a crowd from the other park visitors? 
1)Parking lot was about 150 - 200 ft. away (That's my nice-n-CLEAN white Pick-em-up! ;) ) and the walking path you see in the foreground circled around us (The French Broad river is about 100 ft. directly behind us)
2)We had people that were walking the path,stop and listen a while.
Our groupies(see my gallery)went and got their lawn chairs and listened (and danced!) for a couple of hours.
I started toward the restrooms and a man and woman on bicycles stopped me and asked what the occasion was.....I told them about the OFC and invited them to come over a give a listen.....
We even had a guy (Chris) join us in a song! (watch for a video from CrimsonLake on YouTube!)
It was a fantastic location and just a beautiful day (maybe 85-88 degrees with a nice cool breeze coming from the river......Just Perfect! YSBT |

Music: as the low man on the talent totem pole, I can tell everyone why it all went so smooth. You guys (y'all) are great musicians.
Music, Lanaki, Trboy and the humble Capt_lovehandles can jam and sing. CrimsonLake, his son Nick and BluesSailor can hold there own too. They all were kind and patient with me, and they showed everyone the chords and a few tricks to alot of the songs. If I had teachers like these guys, I might become good enough to plugin some time.
Here is a pic at the end of the day. Notice the silly, boyish grins and one just plain silly (Tr)boy.
Your time will come Trboy... |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Good morning everyone!
I got back last night from Asheville - 11 1/2 hours on the road. Nicky and I had a great time! This was the nicest bunch of people you could ever hope to meet. Everyone treated Nicky like gold - included him in everything, helped him out during the songs, encouraged him (especially BegginJM - just awesome). He will never forget this weekend.
As for his performance - I have now watched or heard it at least 100 times...oy! When he was asked if he wanted to play something, I was absolutely floored when he got up - grabbed MusicMishka's T-bolt and went right into Don't Fear The Reaper. It was the best he ever played it.
Thanks to Randy for making my 47RI absolutely sing. Now I know what it should sound like. Thanks to Jas (Captain Lovehandles) for putting those binders together - they really helped alot - and are a great souvenier. Everyone signed everyone else's binders. Thanks to Mishka for bringing and setting up the PA system - everything worked like a charm! Thanks to BegginJM and Randy for picking out and securing the location - it was absolutely perfect. Thank God for the beautiful weather and for responding to Randy's request for a voice by sending in Chris (the guy that stepped in to sing Ice Cream Man). Thanks to Brad (BluesSailor) for the opportunity to purchase the Tak '98 LTD. Thanks to TRBoy for his fantastic playing and for just being there!
All in all - it was a long trip which I would do again in a minute.
I will post pics as soon as I can - I've been trying to upload them but there seems to be a problem with the site.
I will post the video's to YouTube when I figure out how to rip them off of the DVD back into a format I can post (any suggestions?).
Thanks again - it's people and events like this that make this site what it is. |

Thinning hair was 20 years ago. Now, what hair is left is hanging on to the last root.
Photoshop (hehe) wonder what Trboy would look like with no hair..Jas, care to help with this one?
MORE pics to come (hehe)... |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Oh yeah - one more thanks to Woody for the Papoose. It definitely came in handy on this trip. Nicky spent hours playing with it in the car coming and going to the jam. He also learned alot about transposing chords :)
I don't know if you noticed, but the Papoose was the only non-ovation guitar allowed in the group guitar photo - all of the Taks, Taylors and Epiphones were removed prior to the shot. We all agreed however that since this was lovingly customized by a fellow OFC member, that it deserved a place in the shot. You da man! |

Everyone treated Nicky like gold - included him in everything, helped him out during the songs, encouraged him (especially BegginJM - just awesome). He will never forget this weekend.
As for his performance - I have now watched or heard it at least 100 times...oy! When he was asked if he wanted to play something, I was absolutely floored when he got up - grabbed MusicMishka's T-bolt and went right into Don't Fear The Reaper. It was the best he ever played it.
All in all - it was a long trip which I would do again in a minute.
Thanks again - it's people and events like this that make this site what it is.
CL, let me speak fo all of us if I may, when I say how wonderful it was to look at you as you watched your son playing guitar with all of us...He's a great fella and I know that you're proud of him...and you're right, that is what makes all of this worthwhile...just now my daughter (4 and a half now) looked at the YouTube video and said "Daddy, that boy is playing your snake guitar..." I am amazed at how much she knows about the Ovations (her's is the 82C) and again, thats what makes all of this so wonderful...with all of the negative influence available to them, getting them interested in playing music and appreciating nice instruments...well its just fine and a real blessing! Nicky, I'm proud to have been jammin with ya, young dude! Keep it up!
Miss you guys....let's do it again soon!
Blessings... |

We may need to get a carpool together for the Florida gettogether in the fall. I know of someone who lives in the SE Hotlanta area ;) , might be a good starting point!
Music: my part was simple, you lugging in all of your equipment was hard. My camera takes good pictures, all I have to do is push the button.

Location: GA USA | Something to keep in mind about the video... Randy, who has a fine singing voice, found out 10 seconds into the first song of the day that his voice was gone, and it stayed gone all day. That didn't stop him from croaking out songs for us.
Randy, I didn't use most of what I had to spare you the shame. What little singing that's on the video, you can blame on Mishka. I didn't use "Right or Wrong", because then you'd have to blame it on me. :)
Seriously, without Randy to act as ring leader, it would not have been nearly so much fun. The part where he's teaching the chords is vintage Lanaki. He was constantly saying "For this song, you need to learn this lick...". And I'd say "You play the lick, I'm doing well to get the chord right."
An energetic cat who's lots of fun. |

Ideas? ;)

Location: Marlton, NJ | I'm still working on the video... what a royal pita! Captain - what software are you using to decode/rip/edit the video? I'm starting out with DVD images from my camcorder. I'm using DVD Decoder to copy the image to my harddrive and DVD Copy to rip it to a usable filetype. For some reason, DVD Copy can't deal with the video image directly off of the disc, even though it's not copy protected.
What format did you convert to to put it on YouTube? Does it have to be compressed?
Thanks!
Mike
Oh yeah - I was definitely remiss in not mentioning Randy's wife and how beautiful she sang. |

I just imported the AVI files from my camera into imovie, cut out the unwanted parts, and added transitions and a title, then exported as an mpeg-4. |

Capt'n L's a bit of a showman too.....He jumped right in and sang lead on quite a few songs! He does a great Willie Nelson and Elvis!
And of course.....MusicMike is an outstanding performer and musician who wowed us with all his wonderful original songs and touched everyone's heart strings with "3 going on 33".....Thanks Mike.
I tried to hang back (read "hide back")with the great smooth and steady rhythm playing of Bluesailor,BegginJM,CrimsonLake,and Nicky but for some reason they keep trying to handoff the lead to ME! :confused: ....which I quickly fumbled! :o :cool: ....but I had a great time trying and I'm ready for the next one.....(ready to GO to the next one - not take the LEAD...) |

It's stuff I got from tab sites, and some that Lanaki emailed me, and some I typed up myself. You know how tab sites are... some songs will have wrong chords, and wrong lyrics. But Lanaki and I tried to iron most of that out prior to the jam.
Jim, anything I have is yours. |

it will be nice to finally catch up with all the posts on this thread and others when i get home. the pics are great and i really miss you all. it sure felt like a family reunion last saturday!

Actually only 7 OFC Members at the Jam. Out of respect, we have tried to keep it to one thread though. There still might be a little fun to git out of yet.

Mike and Randy on guitars with Mike singing. Beautiful song!
Each set of pics or video makes me wish I could have attended. Great friendships blossom from such events. You were all certainly blessed.

At some point, I will combine my two camcorder mini dvds into one full size dvd and send out copies if you guys like. This way you'll have the originals with no degradation. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Sorry Capt. it has been a very busy work week for me. I fell asleep quite early last night. I see that you fell asleep and woke up by your computer though. I have it on good authority that can cause hair loss.
My videos are just a repeat of those already posted. I try to stay BEHIND the camera at all times while filming. I prefer the Alfred Hitchcock method of brief, barely noticable appearances, or just none at all.
Great work to Crimson and Captain on the vid postings. |

Location: Parrish, FL | hey Guys,
I've been pretty silent the past week. Busier that H3ll at work and trying to get ready to go on 2 weeks vacation.
I want to chime in and say how much I enjoyed the get together last week. I havn't watched the videos yet, but for those that have you can tell that it was a memorable event and something that I hope to do again. What a great group of guys and talent. You may have noted you didn't see too many vids of me playing and there is a reason for that. But I'll get there. It was great to get out and play with others. I saw a comment on my great rhythms, take note that was on the shakers, not the guitar. Maybe next year. I learned a tremendous amount, improved a whole bunch in just one outing, and had a wonderful experience in the process.
That's all the time I have right now. Gotta go. I'll be w/o a computer for the next two weeks.
I'll have a lot of catching up to do.
See ya later gators!

We recieved your package today... VERY cool! And thank you very much for the CD. I think Nicky is going to enjoy it very much. I'll probably enjoy it as much as I enjoy my son's band :eek:
Again - thank you for the books, the music and everything. |

I've had a great time just watching the all videos. Everything was great. I especially liked 3 going on 23.
You can really tell how much fun you guys had from watching the videos. |

Blues, glad I had a brother there that learned as much as I did. I will keep practicing for next year, and maybe, just maybe, be able to go on film doing something musically related. There still is nothing I can do about my camera breaking good looks. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Ok, so just go on vacation...what is that anyway? Hey Jas, when you get back: I received the new cover for the songbook...very cool! Thanks very much! Wel, I'm off to enjoy another day as Mr. Mom...SWMBO is working all week on 3rd shift so I've got the baby at night for this week...Pray for me, please....lol...Naw, actually, I love it...the little Mishka is doing great and should be holding a guitar by the end of the year...LOL Well, would you believe in several years??
BTW, FALL JAM sounds great....where and when? Why not here...Seriously! WE'd have a blast! Think about it...we have room for tent camping here if you're brave and bathroom/showers here at the house. There is a diner and rooms just down the road and I have a large back deck with a gas grill...details can be worked out! and the scenery here is to die for! MOUNTAIN JAM ANYONE?

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Ok, this thread is FINALLY coming to an end. I would like to say, (one more time). that Lanaki's presence at the Jam was simply incredible, noteworthy, memoriable, etc. This does not take away from the rest of the attendees (Y'all were all simply GREAT too).
Now that (I THINK) he has arrived back to the islands, after a two and a half week visit to the mainland, I want to personally thank him for his direction and support and (kicks in the ass, when needed) that got the Southern Style Jam off the ground and into the books.
Next year we may have to have the TOUR and SOUTHERN Jam in two consecutive weeks so that Randy can attend both.
All that agree say yeaaahh!

Location: big island | my dear friend, "blingy" jim,
you and i both know that the ofc southern jam would not have happened without your perseverance, dedication and diplomacy.
you are an excellent fellow with a generous heart and i count it a blessing to name you as a good friend. let me also say "mahalo" for the "ono grinds" (good food) that you and your sweet wife shared with my family.
to trboy and wife, crimsonlake, nicky, bluessailor, music mike, and captain lovehandles: a grand 'mahalo" for a wonderful time! the videos will never capture the deeper level of what this was all about and what we shared as sojourners on the blue orb. let's do it again.
i'm home on big island and slowly unwinding. |
