Are there more video clips (I hope?)
Al, great mini-review. I think that one post had more words in it than you have posted in 6 months total. Great to hear you back in good form!
ISBT
TONY....we got some serious catching up to do.
Maybe when Fugot gets settled back in we can convince him to hold a jam at the Rocky Mountain Ovation Museum known as his collection and located in beautiful Boulder. |

It's so good for us who can't be with you to see how you've had fun!!
It's also the first time that I can see and hear some of you.
And when I see Tuppy with his Uke in hands, it reminds me so good moments in France... ;)
Thanks guys, you make me feel good when I woke up this morning.

Location: SoCal | heck if I know, last time I heard, the only plans were to destroy Moody's house, alienate his family and neighbors, and flee to Mexico.
Don't know about his neighbors but he has a great family so we may have to make different plans.
:p :p
In all seriousness, Paul graciously extends his home to a Thursday evening get-together during NAMM. Works great as we have factory and OFC out for NAMM (Al, Temp, maybe Kim this time, this year was John, as well as others). I attended for the first time this year and I'm still appreciative of the wonderful hospitality provided by his family.
However, there has to be a time within one day travel of San Diego that we can bring everyone together. So, any ideas?
I nominate Bruce and Fred as the coordinators. :p |

Hey Weas, where the f@*k were you? Some family committments stood in the way, Paul, and there was no way around them. SWMBO told me to go but it just really wasn't in the cards. Was killing me too but glad you guys had a good time.
At least the '07 Tour is a given. Speaking of which, hey Al! Any details on...well, never mind that. :D |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I now have a moment to write a bit. Truly an enjoyable day. It was a real surprise to walk into Ciff's home and see Temp and Susan. They had Cliff and Jeanette tied up in the basement... strangely, Cliff and Jeanette didn't seem to mind. We tried to hog-tie Moody when he arrived, but we didn't have a rope long enough.
The ever-gracious Jeanette made a terriffic dinner and Breakfast... not to mention the Hors D'oeuvres. Cliff has to tell you all "the story" about "putting the kids to bed" on Friday night. Funny.
With Dave's arrivial the next day I had to double check that i was on the right coast. It was a ton of fun Just hanging with this crowd...
But...it got even better.... we headed down to Neptune to see Amy and Kim. Al and Sue and Bill and our crowd pulled up in front of Amy's place simultaneously (harmonic convergence?) and things just kept getting better... It was great to meet some new faces, Rick,Tom, Jason, Bruggy, Amy's fellow band members (Really you shoulda heard "Midnight Train To Georgia" during the jam session... Wayfuckin'kewl.) Great to see Mitch and Phil and Phil again...Phil and Mitch can play some guitar for those of you who don't know.
It amazes me how "at home" this crowd feels. The jam was a ton of fun and I was impressed by the talent of so many folks, John B, Mitch can both play and sing. Of course the Pauls and Cliff. SusiePep jumped in on bass when Kim wasn't playing the bass line to 'Summer Lovin'. Dave is a great player, even when he plays a Uke and it was a total gas watching Al play his 2080 during 'Harvest Moon'.
Thanks to everyone. I enjoyed your company one and all.
Really, the best part was that Weaser didn't show. Our collective thanks, Weasy. |

I was trying my best to "look" like I had an idea what you were talking about when you were discussing your camera equipment. Truth be told, I was just thinking "wow, that stuff looks expensive, I better not spill a beer on it". :p
I can't wait to see the pics! |

I thought it was funny when after we played moondance you said to me, I wondered where that bass was coming from? sue apparently decided since she knew the song she would play along and grabbed the bass. For some reason people don't think of her as a bass player. All I know is back in the day we had trouble keeping bass players in the band so I decided if I married one I would always have a bassist available. |

Just sign up at photobucxket . Upoload your pics at photobucket and then cut and past here the IMG file that is created for each pic.
The NE get together reminded me of my days in college when everyone who owned a guitar would gather at someone's house and jam all day.
Once again thanks to all that were there and made it happen. Events like this are special moments in life. This one was a real treasure for me. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | There were some really nice guitars there, I hope that the OFC photogallery gets working (or am I not doing something right?)
A few of the most memorable (and I have to say all the guitars were gorgeous):
#47 Reissue, I think it was tupperware's (awesome sound) It was so new I could still smell the glue!
Balladeer #36 (awesome sound, inparticular the projection of the treble strings)
(CWK's?) Baritone with a swoosh soundhole.
A mandocello (I don't know whose)
An over the top resonator with palm tree sound holes, which was very easy playing.
And an Adamas bass.
Edit: It looks like I can't edit, or upload to a paritular folder, but I can dump them into an empty folder. Will try uploading tonight. |
