Or perhaps introductions for the photos already posted?  Most faces I know already, but not everyone..... and many members are not as familiar & I'm sure would like to put names to the faces displayed.

Nothin' up yet though.

Sitting here in freezing cold Nova Scotia this morning, and green with envy about you folks enjoying each others' company & the music at ChordieStock. Here's hoping y'all have a great weekend, and am looking forward to hearing about how it all went. Thanks for posting the pics, Topdown!

4:00am Sunday morning - I have had an absolute blast so far. This may be the best chordiestock yet! Here's a group shot of the pickers

It sure was good to see Bee Rad and the Hochbergs again, and of course Southpaw41 is always a bunch of fun. We had to break up the circles yesterday. It's a good problem to have when there's too many awesome pickers in one place.

From the look of all the shorts and nearly bare feet, the weather was perfect along with the turn out.  We who are suffering in the rain and cold salute you!

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Toney Hall at Jimmy Guana's. I have known Toney for about 10 years on Chordie and have wanted to see him perform. It has taken 10 years but the wait has been worth it. Not only is he an extremely talented and accomplished artiste he is a great guy to boot and has a lovely wife and two wonderful children.

Here is a video of him: http://youtu.be/FMpyDEuVGeM

Here's a link to my SmugMug album of the event.  It's all raw.  I haven't edited for content, duplicates, eyes looking where they shouldn't (sorry Wayne but your wife is a knock-out), or any of that stuff.  I did label best as I could, but a lot of names I didn't catch and some I didn't care to remember.

Jeff and I both worked on the Google feed.  First I downloaded the apps and my account information to Jeff's iPad, but couldn't get it to go.  Then Jeff gave it a try.  I worked on it about an hour, and Jeff at least another hour maybe two.  All it ever said was that the session was pending.

Re: CHORDIESTOCK III - 3/13/15 - 3/15/15 - save the date!

Going to work today was rough. I really needed 2 days off to recover from this weekend - getting old I guess. Went at it pretty hard 4 days straight, never in bed before 3 a.m., started drinking and jamming no later than noon the next day. So Thursday was 9pm to 3 am, Friday, Sat and Sun went noon to 3:00 am each (roughly). That's 51 hours of partying hard. Fingers are holding up fine, my liver and vocal chords not so much.

We'll damn sure be doing it again next year though!

Re: CHORDIESTOCK III - 3/13/15 - 3/15/15 - save the date!

A BIG, BIG thank you to Jeff for his hospitality.

Fantastic meeting, playing with and listening to everyone there; great to meet face to face people who I have known for years and never met and to also meet some I had only heard of (the incredible Roscoe to name but one).

Voice still a little husky from all the singing. Jeff's neighbour, Georgia, is a very demanding woman. She got me out of bed to sing a lullaby to her daughter and the following day dragged me to her house to sing a couple of love songs to her mum. (I enjoyed every minute of it, really).

I have just got home after being on the go for nearly 30 hours apart from some very disturbed and uncomfortable naps whilst flying, but, my goodness it was worth it.

Started saving for next years Chordiestock smile.

Roger.

Re: CHORDIESTOCK III - 3/13/15 - 3/15/15 - save the date!

Pleased to hear you are home safe, and have found yourself a new "groupie".  Georgia is (I assume) single, pretty (I saw the photos), demanding (your description), and........ took you to meet her Mum.

Funny how the first thought to cross my mind was a line from a Tom Hanks film........ "Run Guppy Ruuunnnn!!!"  wink
