Ok, so for anyone that missed it - the live feed was actually recorded by the google guru minions and now just looks like a video uploaded to youtube - so if you feel like pretending you're at the gathering (even though it's not going on right now), you can sit back and watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbXXQbvP6Sw
At some point, I might edit it to make it .... um... more view able in small increments instead of nearly a 2 hour video! The sound sucks from what I can tell. Apparently laptop microphones are not made for broadcasting musical events with multiple things going on and vehicles driving by (or nearby firemen getting married). But... whatever - Had ya been here, you would have heard it all in TRUE stereo, live, and even been able to join in!
It was a great time! Thank you to UJB for all the homemade goodies! We'll be snacking for a while. I'll be kicking Jim's butt to get him to learn a few of those songs from your book! DE drove quite a way with knee and back issues - that there is awesome! One whole pork butt was worth being able to hear him play just one song live and I had the pleasure of many! My own Dad was here, right in the middle and learned how to play "picker's circle" style. I think he even liked it!
Way less pressure than being the only guy with a guitar in hand. Roger, of course, is still here stealing wifi.
I'll tell ya what, this guy knows a lot about guitars but he can SING too!
We'll be heading out to the beach and falls and Adirondacks this week. Fun stuff in store! -- We had a few family members come out to listen as well. Several friends didn't make it - but - that's ok, less people not playing guitar means more time for ME to enjoy playing and not playing hostess quite as often. I did get photos that'll go up on the net somewhere at some point in time ... and I even did turn my recorder on a few times, so I"ll get some of those files up eventually.
Right now, I'm T I R E D - DE showed up Thursday night and we've all been going nearly non-stop since then. It's been AWESOME! Smoking Butts, Cream Soda, Rock Island Line, Beer, Salt Taters, Midgets, "Guano" Man, Evan Williams, singed leaves and grass, Corn on the cob, Hoffman hotdogs, The Monkey and the Engineer, tater salad, jello, mac salad, Leaving on a Jet Plane ...
A lot. It was a lot. A lot of awesomeness.
THANK YOU to those that came and joined in. We ARE going to do this again! Photos and music to come soon...
(ps - Bill - you had so many different posts going on here, I couldn't keep up!
I don't think anyone but you ended up with a hangover, we're all just a bit tired. LOL)
