Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Great....Just don't mention the mandolin player! :eek: (how soon they forget...)
Unfortunately I won't be able to make this year's tour either.....real bummer 'cause not only did I want to see you guys and gals from last year again I also wanted to meet the newer members who'll be there for the first time this year!
I hope EVERYBOBY has a SUPER FANTASTIC time this weekend...ENJOY the FRIENDSHIP and make lots of beautiful music together!!! Also please take the time to say "THANK YOU" to Rick,Frank,John,Kim,Jol,and everyone else who is involved in making the tour happen!(and all for FREE!!) and don't forget ALL the folks "on the job" at the factory....as you go around the different "stations" of assembly during the tours,personally say "THANKS" to the craftspersons you meet for a job well done....It'll make their day! :)
Have loads of FUN and drink a few beers for me! :D |

And Paul, I doubt if the jam would be the place either. We'll just continue to talk geeters and leave the politicizing to another forum. |
