Very nice Roger.

I finally got around to uploading pics. The quality is rather pathetic compared to Roger's but I just have a point-n-shoot.

Upon arrival.

Pickin' on the porch

Our cute little campfire.

And the rainbow after the rain.

I'm getting up there. Had Amy wondering too but she was too polite to come right out and ask. Something came up in a conversation and I mentioned; "That's the same year I was born".  Working towards 60 but not there yet.

And I never heard of Shel Silverstein so I had to look it up. AuntJoe says; yeah there is somewhat of a resemblance.

Well you didn't miss much. It was my first attempt at making them. I took a couple shortcuts and quite honestly, I thought they were pretty bad. So the bowling ball is probably a better choice.   Mekidskids seemed to love them though so I left them all there instead of bringing them home to give to the chickens.

So............. a BIG THANK YOU has to go out to Jim and Amy for pulling some cyber-friends together for a wonderful time. They were terrific hosts and did everything they could to help make the new guy on the board feel right at home. I'm looking forward to returning the hospitality in October when they come to visit.

Dirty Ed has a bottomless pit of a repertoire and and I took full advantage of it by quietly practicing some of my scales. Sometimes I hit it right  and sometimes.... not so much. But it was fun just the same.

Roger was absolutely delightful to converse with and he also has an endless repertoire with a voice to make it a pleasure listening to. I only wish that I could sing as well.

And I can't leave out Amy's dad. He kept going and going just like the Energizer bunny. How do you folks keep all those songs in your head?

Steph, the budding guitarist, reminded me of my initial foray into the world of guitar playing. If she sticks with it she will be superb in no time.  Amy, tell Kate thank you for the flower. I meant to take it with me but forgot.

I'll look forward to doing this again next summer. But before that I would like to invite you all to visit the mountains of Central Pa. in the fall. That includes you Roger. Although having already made two trips to the States this year, You may have had your fill of us Yanks and our abuse of your language.

It was a pleasure meeting you all and thank you again for having me. I look to getting together again.

At this point I have 8 confirmed, 2 probable and 2 maybe. 4 are out of town and 4 are local from the confirmed category. There will be a few other locals coming just to socialize as well.

I figured I would bring that thread back to the top after this weekend in NY.

That would be affirmative.

Thought I would help Roger out. He's probably still sleeping in his pink room that he doesn't know is pink.

Glad I didn't jump right into it. I think I'll hang on to 7 until the support ends.

Yes. The original is still there for folks to read. Once you post the edited version, the original is gone.

It's considering a road trip.

I found my 2 playing partners on craigslist. It took about 3 months. I put the ad in and refreshed it every couple weeks. After about 10 weeks of nothing I got a reply. After a couple phone conversations I had Peter over. A couple days later I got another reply. Peter and I had another session set up for a few days later so I invited Scott to join us. We started getting together every other weekend.

Ya never know until you try.

I'm sure I mentioned it in TF's Progressive Rock thread.

I followed them up and down the East Coast for most of the 80's
