January 18, 19, 20. Still working on the details, but DNJ and Fran can come 18-21st. I will be setting up a place for the festivities this week. The American Legion has been great about hosting previous events, so it will most likely be there again. There will be plenty of keyboards on hand, or you can bring your own. I'll also be finding a deal on motel rooms. I know it's the same week as NAMM show, but it all started because the Yankees can come at that time, so we'll just have to DO IT! DonM

Gary, you can call in sick like the executives do! I wish you could make it. I've already had a couple of guys say they will be coming in Saturday the 17th. That's cool too. I will probably be playing Saturday night, but can make arrangements for guests there. I'm sure the boss will give us some special treatment! I'm thinking the main Jam will be Sunday afternoon and evening. Monday we can do what we want--get together to pick each other's brains, examine gear, and generally have a good time. I'll be working Tuesday night, but the day is free. HankB and SemiLive will be sharing the hosting duties again, so we will have plenty to do. DonM
This will be the best JAM ever! Common people get your tickets & get yourselves down there....we gonna tear it up & have a great time for sure!! Plus you get to meet Fran & myself , play some music & have fun & laughs for a few days too... looking forward to meeting y'all. I also want to thank Don for hosting this great event.

Don, I'll be overseas (China) working on a packaging project for a tool line that will be imported and sold to the "big box" stores.
I need to get down to Florida to take care of some of the odds and ends from my grandmothers estate. If it works out, I'll swing by. Generally decide to go the next day, when things break. Want to get to New Orleans to check out the Habitat project there for retired musicians. Who knows, I may be a resident some day.
You folks "knock em dead"!

Frankie...when you arrange your flights..schedule a stop over in Dallas for a day or two( about 3 hour drive to Don's)..after Namm..you still have a couple days of Don's hospitality..

Hi all, as I'd expressed to DonM in a private email about NAMM show (Jan 15-thru 18) date conflict, so won't be able to make this one. Oh well, better luck next time. Have fun guys. Sorry I'm going to miss what looks to be an historic Yankee /Confederate match.

This looks like a good possibility for me. I just have to farm out one job and take a vacation day from church and I'm in. Sounds like a whole hell of a lot of fun.
