Shirt's not a guarantee yet. Most likely I'll have them printed and sent to Jeff. You can pay me at the event.  I'll need to know three things:

1. Your size
2. Whether you want a name on the back
3. If you want something on the back, whether you want your handle, your actual name, or what.

The T shirts are Hanes beefy tees in men's sizes.  I might be able to get ladies sizes, which I realize is of no use to Beamer, but Liz and Mekidsmom might appreciate it.

IN!!!

My recommendation is that you keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard then use a smooth flowing motion to play your scales. 

To get the smooth flowing motion, get a metronome.  Play as slowly as you need to to play the scale perfectly.  Play your scales 5 to 15 minutes per day, playing as slowly as you need to to play the scale perfectly (with your fingers hovering close to the fretboard).  Be absolutely certain to use alternate picking (Youtube it if you don't know what that means, there are a zillion videos and this is one of those picture is better than 1,000 words deals).  Somewhere between three days and 17 years, you too will be playing scales with a smooth flowing motion. 

And no, I am not kidding with the time frame.  Some people get it immediately, others like myself have been at it for six or eight years and are just kind of beginning to get it.

Iftekhar - They're addressing the American football season.

Bring the Martin Amy.  Put it in the hard shell case and gate check it.  I hope to make it and will be bringing Tiny, despite Jeff's condo being primarily furnished with guitars.

I'm 50%. Funny honey is out. Is the floor still open?

I would move heaven and earth to come to Labrador to play guitars and fish for 5lb brook trout.  That is a brilliant concept!

It's a learning experience to jam.  Chock it up under the educational use exception.  If the jam is public and folks are paying, then the venue should be paying for use of copyrighted material.  If it's all just for fun and learning of the folks playing, then I don't think there's an obligation to pay.  I'm not an Intellectual Property attorney, though.  The laws are screwy.

YoYo Ma uses a music stand. If the world's most versatile and readily recognized cellist is allowed to use a music stand, I don't see the problem with a middle aged desk jockey hobbyist doing so. (meaning myself). YoYo Ma doesn't even sing.

I haven't checked it yet.  Maybe this weekend. I'm betting it's a loose wire. I only used them for the tuner anyway.

He's OK.  His business has taken off and he hasn't got much time for being on line.  I see him on Facebook from time to time and keep in touch through his lovely bride.
