Some of the video files I have from the weekend are rather large. Being a novice at this kind of stuff it takes me awhile to cut them down into bite sized pieces. I just finished this one tonight. The wind and vehicle traffic noise is still there but I did cut out a lot of the "between songs" chatter to shorten it up a bit.
Here's Dirty Ed doing Small, Medium at Large and I follow him with El Paso.
Right leg for me. I'm self taught and the right leg just felt comfortable. There was no one around to tell me any different.
i'm looking forward to a few tunes recorded !

There may be an issue there. It was rather windy all day and it really interfered with the recordings. Amy thinks she can filter it out with a program she has. so it may be awhile before recordings get posted.
Good morning all. Until Amy gets a chance to load videos, here are a few pics.
We have representation from 4 states. From left to right: MA, OH, NY, Pa.

I think it could be :they built a bon fire bigger than last year and set central NY on fire
No. The fire is out and the cops just left. They did leave 6 of us here to carry on.
Actually we just moved inside. It's been raining off and on all night. I don't see Amy getting anything online tonight. Just have to hold out a little longer.
Headed out in about ten minutes. See ya'll around noon.
Car is all packed. Just have one bag to carry out with me in the morning.
I spent $100 for a hard case back in the day so it had better protection for the road trips. Still have that case but the Alvarez 12 string lives in it now. I'll have to take a picture of it. It's rather road weary.
As promised.
In the lower right corner you can just make out the road rash. Some knucklehead put it under the car (a '72 Chrysler New Yorker) to "keep it out of the sun." I tried backing up a couple times and wasn't moving. I'm thinking there must be a small rock (stone parking lot) behind the tire. I pulled forward a foot or so and gave it a little gas while I was backing up for the third time. Stopped dead. I get out of the car to see why I can't move. The $100 I spent on that case paid for itself that day. The original chip board case would have collapsed under the weight of that 3500lb tank I was driving. I started throwing stickers on it to cover up the damage.

Were you at Nassau Collesium in the late 1980's when the Dead played in Long Island. I was there - it was awesome.
I was staying in a hotel about two blocks away - they locked the doors because all the " dead heads ' infiltrated and took all the TP out of the lavs
Inside the Collesium, the "smoke" was so thick - people in the shit nose bleed seats probably couldn't even see Jerry and the band by mid-concert.
Great times , Great friggin times !!
Nope. I was in Buffalo, Syracuse, Saratoga, Rochester and Utica for shows but never went into the big city.
Yeah. A lot of smoke.
You should pop into Amy's this weekend. We can play some Dead tunes together. 
Sorry CG. We seem to be drifting off your topic here.
My Norman came with a case like that, but it eventually fell apart and had to be replaced.
That pic is about 4-5 years old. You can't tell but the case is coming apart. The bottom is separated from the sides. I had to replace it a couple years ago.

Sounds good to me.
The first time I went on stage it was a disaster. I forgot lyrics, couldn't grab hold of the chords. It was embarrassing. The next time was 25 years later and I didn't think twice about it. I was better as a player the second time around so maybe I had a bit more courage.
I'm sure I've posted this somewhere but have no idea where.
This is my first guitar; the one described above. I bought it in 1982 for $160. That was an entire weeks take home pay for me at the time. I made a $40 down payment in April and then $40 a month. Brought it home in July. That white mark on the front is from the camera flash. It still looks almost as good as it did the day I brought it home; which is a miracle considering it went with me on the road when I was following The Dead up and down the East Coast for 7 years.

Done.
Yep. Still have my first guitar; a 1982 Epiphone PR650. All laminate. Until about 3 years ago I was still using it for my everyday guitar; along with the 82 Alvarez 12 string. When I started playing again I was about a year into it and decided I wanted something with better tone. I picked up an Eastman fairly cheap. Played that for about a year and then stumbled into a mid-grade Martin. That's my main guitar now. But I would put my 35 year old, $350 Alvarez up against any $2000 guitar for tone quality. Sitka Spruce top. Mahogany B&S. It just sings.
So to answer your question, no. I don't need nor desire a very expensive guitar.
Malabo, let me know if you need a hint
Equatorial Guinea?
can I get a second flag? I spend six months out of the year at my second home.
Throw a town at me.

how do I see the map ?
Sorry TIG. I forgot to put a link on this page.
Thank you Peatle.
There isn't really much involved. Hit the edit button, grab a pin and drop it in place. Takes all of 10 seconds once I zero in on the town.
Prince George, BC
Stop in on your way to Alaska!
Welcome!
It will come up Las Palmas that is the capital of all the Islands. We are Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands off the coast of North Africa in the Atlantic.
OK. Got it. I was confused when it came up Las Palmas. Roger also sent me a message and set me straight.
Vallebrón Fuerteventura, moved here two months ago. I don't know how to change map.
I'm the only one that can. It prevents any random person that views it from adding themselves.
This is the only thing that comes up with a search on the map so I don't know where to move your pin.
Vallebrón, Las Palmas, Spain
It's a big yard.
Unless you're bringing a 3 ring circus tent I'll bet it could be squeezed in somewhere. 
Maidens, VA USA
That makes 53.
Come on folks. Where are you?
WOW! That's an eye catcher.
Nicely done.
