That's great, Mike, I'm really honored that you'll be there - we'll do our best for you, and it will be a lot of fun to see you there!

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
OK, I gotta go now and make a weekend of it. Too much mando-music goodness going on to pass up. And thanks for the scoop on Saturday. All sounds great.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

My band Sweetwater Creek is on from 2 - 2:45 on the outside courtyard, and Jake Cohan's band (see post #26 at the top of this page), Sailing to Denver, is in the main hall from 3 - 3:45. Pete will be there too, but not necessarily playing (unless he makes it onstage somehow).
The only bad news is that it costs $35 to get tickets online now, or $45 on the gate, but that does include a certain amount of free food and beer.
On a Saturday night you can go up to
Everett's picking barn in Suwanee, or in town you could catch The Littlest Birds and Julie Gribble at
the Red Light.
There's a red light district? Must be the only one in the US. ...not that I've been looking of course ...:whistling:

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
Wish I could make it Saturday. Playing a dance in Roswell that evening. Practicing in the afternoon. Y'all have fun.

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
You'll be missed Tom! Looks like we may have a good group over there to heckle David. (JK!) You're going to be at Marty's shop Friday night, right?

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
"Beer Festival" ? ? ? ? I hazard to guess Pete will be there!
From what I can gather, Australian + Blackheath + leave before the beer festival. . . cannot be combined into one sentence!

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
Well, you know what they call a beer festival in Blackheath --- practicing!
-
Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
Yeah, I hope our idea of a "Beer Festival" isn't too much of a let down for Pete. I promise to put forth my best effort to represent the U.S. contingent!

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
Mike. I'll be there Friday night. If you like good old bluegrass, fiddle tunes and some newgrass, you'll really like David's band.

7 O'clock works for me. Looks like a weekend full of good music! I am planning on bringing a few instruments. Sharing toys is as fun now is it was in grade school. Also, I figure I can play some guitar, and someone can play my fiddle, you guys don't wanna hear me play it.

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
I'm just waiting to hear Marty's bluegrass cello.

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
I arrive in Atlanta at 4:45 tomorrow as long as I don't miss the plane.

Who's up for a beer tomorrow night?

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
It'd be fun, but I've got householdy obligations to get out of the way, so I can enjoy being TOTALLY useless for the weekend. Hoist one for me, and Welcome to the Dirty South,Pete.

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
Sure wish I could join you guys on Friday. I work in a hospital which is open 24/7 and I cant get off. Extra bummer because my first mandolin will be finished tomorrow and I'd love for you to see it.
Have fun!
Chuck.

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
I was extremely tempted to ride down. A short 14 hr motorcycle ride. If days were longer I'd be there.

That's too bad, it would be great to see it. If you PM me and let me know where you are, it might be possible to figure something out.

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
I'd love to join you all if you have room for one more. Marty, sent a PM asking for directions.
Friday at 7 pm works well for me. Coming from the Perimeter Mall area after 5:30p, so shold be able to crawl my way through rush-hour traffic to Smyrna by then :)

Re: Atlanta get together & Jam to welcome Pete Jenner - 11/15/201
OK great! Looks like we'll have a good showing.
Please PM me if you need the address.
We'll have snacks set up in our house next door to the shop. It got a little noisy last time, so hopefully having the house and the shop open will allow enough space to put some of these instruments to work.
