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.

Location: big island | hey tim,
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. |

Location: Athens, GA & Gnashville | This sounds like my kind of get-together, Randy! I would be there in a jiffy jam if I weren't undergoing knee replacement surgery on June 5th. I would even leave the "friendly five" at home. LOL!!
Sounds like loads of fun. WAAAAAAAAAAAA!! :( |

that plastic knee will set good in four days. no excuses. unless you're gettin' both done at the same time.
and stay away from the hooters or you may end up needing more than knees replaced...
heal well, buddy! |

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. |

Location: GA USA | I am still a while from getting a resonator, but I'll bring my old yamaha that I'm using for slide. I'm not gonna let Randy come and not give a free lesson. He's just too good a resource to let get away. |

Location: South of most, North of few | OK I may be closer to showing up. The wife says it sounds good if we can stick around and do some white water rafting in the Ocoee. 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. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Hey Brad, maybe this time we can get together. I just have to make sure we are set to go before I sign up, but I should know on Monday. 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! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Randy,
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! |

Location: big island | d'ya know any minor chords, jim?
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!!! |
