Tony....I've known Don over 10 years my first SZ buddy from the old forum.....been good friends throughout, email, video chats,talk to each others wives on the phone, etc, but never met in person...I always told him I'd make it down to Louisiana one day soon.....2 years ago plans went astray to our disappointment which always bothered me...but I made it a point this year to clear a few days off my gig schedule and get me & my bodyguard Fran to get on a plane & head it south to the Shreveport Jam at all costs! And in 10 days we WILL be there for a few days of camaraderie, jammin', some good Cajun food & lots of fun with many SZ friends also!
I wish my buddy Gary D was attending too but he has gigs up the Wazzoo! People dont be shy theres still 10 Days to make plans & come on down to the Jam!!
As far as a Northeast/Midwest jam......bring it on......but remember the DATES are the most important.....musicians have different needs then the 9-5 world.....so first plan the DATES where all can attend & be off from work/gigs etc.. ...THEN make the plans on where to have it
Go for it !!
