Location: Marlton, NJ | It's late and I've been on the road for about 12 hours - but I wanted to give a really big thanks to Jim and Sandy and their lovely family for hosting the jam this weekend. It couldn't have been better in any way. It was like hanging out with lifelong friends. Thanks again and I can't wait to return the favor.
I'll post more tomorrow after a good night's sleep.
p.s. - Nicky has been in his room playing (and singing) "Wish You Were Here" since we got home. We listened to it about 20 times on the way. He had a GREAT time! |

Location: Central Florida | Well, looks like I'm as late to the post as I was to the party! But better late than never, right? And that sure applies to SSJII! Ya shoulda been there!
Everything that has been said already still bears repeating. Over and over and over! The Beggin hospitality is simply unsurpassed by anybody anywhere that I have ever been.
And the new friends I have made this weekend...
Crimson, really loved the Millennium and the 47RI but in no way can they compare to your greatest treasure, that Jamming partner you brought with you. Nicky's a pretty special kid! It was awesome to meet and play with you both.
Tim, I'm not sure if I should thank ya or cuss ya for turning me on to wide necks. :p Now I feel a case of Folklore fever coming on and am worried about it turning into full blown Ute-itis. You're a bad influence man, but I sure enjoyed hanging with you and the family.
Trader! Bonnie, please slap this man and wake him up. "a chicken walking on the fret board" indeed! :rolleyes:
Rockin' rooster is more like it! You under rate yourself, sir!
G8R, Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. And for being such an all around great guy to talk guitars and jam and sing with. The honor was all mine, buddy!
Jas, what a trip! I'm really looking forward to singing with you again. Your harmony on Danny's song gave me goosebumps. Waaaay nice!! Oh, and congrats on your most recent songwriting award. "Beggin Jim" is a genuine gem!
TRBoy, what a delight to Jam with a guy that picks so well and has such a refined taste for musical selections. :D Song book is on the way. Thanks for all of the hard work with the sound system. (nobody appreciates that like a microphone player :) ) And a special thanks to Mary for those incredible shirts! I'll be wearing mine with pride.
Jim and Sandy, what can I say? Two very special people. I might be a "Northern convert", I might even be a damn Yankee, but nowhere in the South have I ever felt so welcome and so much at home as I did this weekend in Simpsonville, South Carolina. Your hospitality and hard work putting this event together could not be more appreciated. It was an honor to be invited into your home to receive the blessing of so many new and true friends. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for doing this!! The SSJII was the most fun I've had in a long time. ...Y'all. :)
Can't wait for the next one!
Otto

we need to do it again in the fall. Mrs. Beggin stepped forward and said "why don't we do it here again?!". Put me at the top of any SSJIII Fall mailing list! Just let me know how I may assist. Missing the SSJII and AI has led caused me to crap Spanish moss! Arrrgh... 
Glad ya'll had a grand time! Now I'm off to view the 'gathering' pics... |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Jas - that's priceless! You are truly a man of many talents.
A big thanks to the southern gang for welcoming us northerners to the fray. I met Tim and family and Bill (Otto) for the first time and again - it was like seeing old friends. It was great seeing Serge, TR, and Jim and their families and Jas, that wild and crazy guy - it's always a pleasure! After seeing some of the pics and videos, Mrs. Crim (Amy) is sad that she didn't go, but wants to know when we're going to host one. I told her that if there's a factory tour (or even if there isn't!) then we'll be hosting something before or after (or both).
Not much more I can say that hasn't been said - some of the talent is overwhelming - Otto on vocals, TR on whatever he picks up, Trader Jim, despite what he says, plays a mean guitar and Bass, Jas - what can't you do??
Thanks again to Jim and Sandy for opening their doors to us - I'm blessed to know you. |

Location: Central Florida | Played it all Saturday night, Randy. The lighting is bad but that's her in this pic.
Definitely luscious. And she was asking about you, too. Next trip stateside we're gonna have to arrange for you to meet her! :)
Jas! Killer job on the video!

Location: GA USA | I like that lighting. Okay, not for showing the guitar, but it captures the "back porch" atmosphere of Saturday night. Whoever was leading/singing was getting fried by a floodlight so that he could see the chords.
I put Tim's "Right Field" video on my channel, and I'm going to mix some more together for one more.
Looks like the last verse of "Beggin Jim" made it to video. Some of these make me laugh to look at them. |
