Location: South of most, North of few | Just got home from what seems like 2 weeks of driving, but I'm happy to say, I was able to pick up the Martin 000-15S that I won on Ebay with a pass through Daytona Beach. It was worth it now that I'm home safe with memories of a great time with great people. Thanks to all who made it what it was! |

What a totally FANTASTIC gathering! I'm still pumped... My special thanx to Keith and Jim for setting it up!
Several observations:
-OFC gatherings are must to attend. It's just about the most fun ya can have with your clothes on.
-If ya don't have a grand time, it's your fault.
-Yankee OFC 'virgins' are priceless.
-A bass guitarist should be mandatory at the gatherings. It added an awesome dimension to the jams. Thanx Brad!
-My guitars sound so much better sitting in front of them instead behind 'em. Ummm, never mind, I just realized why...
-Otto and Jas blew me away with the tightest and sweetest harmony since the Everly Brothers. If I didn't know better, I would have sworn a few of their songs were professional studio recordings.
-I can hold a pick. Now I gotta learn how to use 'em.
-As Brad learned, ol' country songs can be depressing.
-As JB learned, gravity sucks.
-As BT learned, asphalt is a birth defect in da mountains. Gotta love the gravel roads...
I have to say I'm blessed with the fine 'family' that has become a rewarding part of my life. Love and thanks to all of ya'll.
BTW, I have put some pics on my NING. I'll add what I have that are not dupes of the other attendees later on. |

You mean like the one in the picture? I'm pretty sure it's fretless, and they're a little harder to play. Nice 'catch' Patch! I think Brad could have 'played' that hawg too...

Location: Marlton, NJ | Nicky and I got back last night and we both wished it would've lasted much longer. A big thanks to Keith and Beggin for getting this together. It was the perfect location.
Not much more to add except to say that it was great seeing everyone again - and meeting Jack and Brad for the first time. The best that I can say is that I feel more at home at these gatherings than just about anywhere else in the world.
Serge, Blues, Capo, Gway, Joisey Goils, Richard - we missed ya!
Having the bass definitely added some pizzaz to the songs - and having it played by such a nice guy (Brad) is just gravy. |
