Londy, I would like to come. You are very close to me as I am in the same county. My father is coming in from out of town for a few days and that will determine whether I can or not. I'm not much of a player, but I would enjoy some local inspiration. Also a great chance to meet the faces behind the keyboards. I just saw Eric C's band out last week, they are a blast and Eric is a great guy. He let me try his new mando. Big mistake on my part. hahah MAS.
Cheers,
Robin

"Is that the banjo player's Porsche?"
Hey there Popeye39, yeah, come on out! Its ok if your not a good player, neither am I..lol. Eric and the guys are awesome and a crapload of fun. I invited them all but they may have a gig that same weekend. However, we will be starting at 3pm until we cant play anymore so who knows, maybe they will show up that night (wink, wink).

Next week is our Beer & Brats Acoustic Jam I am hoping for good weather. Does someone have a small amp they can bring just in case we need it for a bass? I only have a PA system and its a little cumbersome to bring out to the patio where we will be playing. Also, don't forget to bring your favorite beer, i will have a cooler with ice thought we could share fun fall beers for those that like the small batch or seasonal brews. The brats will be soaking in beer then grilled and kept warm for all to enjoy! I look forward to having fun with everyone.

Hi Londy,
I can't thank you enough for hosting this event and for your kind hospitality. The weather looked a bit iffy at times but it all worked out beautifully. I had a great time!
I wish I were sharp enough to remember everyone's names, Cafe names etc. but I sometimes forget. I surely don't mean to leave anyone out, so I'll just say that I enjoyed everyone and their musical contributions...just a great time.
I'm glad that I was able to do some 'pickin' and grinnin' with Lee again and I appreciate the kind generosity of of his wife (Judy?) for making it possible for him to be there. Too bad Ron and Pete could not have hung around longer.
Also Londy, make sure you tell your family and extended family "thanks" from me. There's a lot of musical talent there and I really enjoyed being allowed to join in.
Again, a great time...great food...great music and best of all, the cops only showed up once!
Clark
Thanks so much, Londy. Your family is just great! I'll be in touch soon. So nice to meet everyone. Clark, your vocals reminded me of Marty Robbins. Thanks for the inspiration, all.
I blame Cher for a lot of things.

Londy -
Let me say "thank you" for the fun party you and Gale hosted last night. Again, it seemed as if everyone had known each other forever, instead of just meeting and being virtual strangers.
The food was great, the folks were great and the music was most memorable.
Thanks, again.
Lee
I want to thank eveveryone who attended my first acoustic jam! What a great time and more important to note what great people you are! The weather was questionable but held out for us. It seems every get together I have the cops show up! Oh well, at least they didn't need their handcuffs this time. Great music, good food and great folks...could not ask for anything more. Thanks again all of you for making this happen. I would love to host again soon. Here are some pictures to enjoy.

Londy,
Thanks for hosting this get together. You and your family were most gracious. I met a lot of good folks there and enjoyed the music. Dan
Looks like you folks all had a ball!
So sorry I missed it - My electric band had a gig in Youngstown last night.
I sure hope I can make the next NE Ohio jam.
Londy; thanks very much for hosting this & promoting the mandolin culture in the Buckeye state!...Very cool.
Maybe we can all get together in Wellington some Sunday before the snow flies?
