I think I had more fun playing THEM than I did any of the guitars!

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I'll bring a set of bongos. My wife played them one night and thought quite highly of her sound. I thought quite highly of the wine's ability to make her sound good.
Capt., someone needs to knock some since into me.
Trboy, bring a bass too. We can have a little jazz trio.
Wonder what Kaki's doing this weekend? |

Come on down. It's only an 8 hour ride! Fly into Asheville, I'll pick you up and supply the guitar.
I know it is a long shot, but PM me if you work it out.

Location: Simpsonville, SC | What a great day, what great people with great voices, what great guitars making great music, what a great time! What a great disappointment that it had to end.
Can't really say how great it was! ;)
For a relative newbie here, I approached today with the uncertainty that unfamiliarity brings. After today I will approach these type of gatherings being better prepared to play the songs on the list. :o
I know that I smiled all day and said plenty of stupid things to my new found friends, even though I can't remember specifics. I also know that it all went by so quickly. There are still so many unanswered questions that I want to ask about and of these "not so strangers anymore".
I also know that if you don't close the tailgate on your Mountaineer properly, the little light comes on and says "the rear hatch is open. You are about to lose five great guitars to the highway Gods". Cracker Barrel my arse, imagining my guitars in a million pieces on I-26 is more like it! :D
Did I say how great the day was? I was humbled by the incredible talent and kindness of all that attended. Pictures to follow.
Nicky, you are my hero! Seriously!
Has Cliff posted his 10,000th yet? |

Can't really say how great it was! I feel the same way, Jimbo. This may have been the perfect day. I can see how the Factory Tour crowd can be so close. Here were seven guys that I'd never met before, and given more time together, I feel like EVERY one will be a good friend. We're off to a great start at least.
More later, but I left the house at 5:30am and returned at 12:30 am, so I'm ready for bed. But a couple of impressions:
* If you ever get the chance to see Lanaki, TRBoy and MusicMike perform together, don't miss it. I could have listened to them for hours.
* Drivers in SC and NC pretty much obey the speed limit. What's up with that?
* Hopefully CrimsonLake will someday post the video of "Ice Cream Man", where a miscellaneous dude named Chris wandered up and assumed vocal duties. It was a scream.

Location: GA USA | I did want to share this pic, because it made me smile. We were playing Blue Hawaii (note that Nick is all business). L-R: Lanaki, TRBoy, CaptLovehandles, BluesSailor, NickyCrimson and BegginJM.
Later Mrs. Lanaki asked Randy if we had done any Hawaiian music. He told her "Blue Hawaii". FYI, BH does not count as Hawaiian music, and Mr. and Mrs. L treated us to the real thing.
