Tom,
The Taylor nylon model is the NS72-CE,rosewood back, cedar top made in 2002 with a fishman/taylor pickup and preamp.
I'm sorry that I'll miss your songs on Sunday eve. My flight gets in too late. I hope you'll be performing on the other days as well.
Best wishes,
Rick

Just made my resv at the center- now looking at flights. I hope to get there Sat night and leave Tues PM.

Haven't thought about transpo from airport yet...

Oooohhhhh...a Collings. I think I'll bring a Taylor Doyle Dykes that you might be interested in trying out through the L1. Not an exceptional unplugged guitar but I think it has a great plugged in sound due to Doyle's design specifications (based on one of Chet Atkin's guitars I believe) and the L.R. Baggs system. How about if you let me touch yours, I'll let you touch mine?

Tom:

"I'll be bringing a custom Collings C10 - the only guitar I have with a real flight case (a Calton)."

Wayne - I'll look forward to the Taylor.

You guys are killin' me... I love to bring my toys with me so I get to hear them in the hands of folks who play better than I do... AND I get to see the kid-like gleam in the eyes of my friends when they start making music with new tech.... but I just don't want to check 300 lbs of stuff for air-travel. <sigh> I'd love to get you guys playing my Variax Acoustic with synth pick-up GR-20 and XT-Live or my Breedlove or even my little Switch electric.... but I think I'll just shove my HPD-15 in my luggage and borrow someone's guitar to sing a song or two if time allowes.

Oh and I SO want to try a T5 thru an L1 ...<drool>

Hi Folks,

I'll need to give the Inn a room count by Wednesday next week.

Please make your arrangements and let us know here what they are.

Thanks!

Ken

Does that include a count for the cabins as well? I've got a bandmate who has not yet decided whether to come...if he does he's going to stay in a cabin.

Hi Andrew,

I'm less concerned about the cabins. We've got room for him.

Ken

Thanks...any word on what day the Taylor guys will be presenting? That's the determining factor in whether he'll come or not.

Hi Ken,

I've booked a room at the Inn for Karen and me.

Guys, I'd like to suggest that we start some kind of master songlist for the jam situations. It's nice if everyone knows a lot of the same tunes. We're far enough out that those that need to can brush up on chord changes, heads, etc.

Whadya think?
(Do we need a separate thread on this?)

Hi Chad,

I set up a page on the wiki so we can all just add to the list directly.

Please take a look and let me know if you have suggestions for improving the format.

Thanks

How about some way of tracking who knows what, to make it easier to put together pick-up groups?

ST,

The Wiki link is a great idea, that way we can learn/brush up on whatever material shows up there. Personally, I would feel much more comfortable in a jam situation if I wasn't just "winging it".

Another thought...how about tracking what instrument(s) we all play?

I'm with Jeff. I've never been too comfortable just jamming...I prefer to know what the heck I'm doing beforehand.

I also think the style of music is kind of a big factor in deciding whether to join in a jam or not. I can hold my own in a bluegrass jam and I play my share of rock/folk/pop/country but when it comes to jazz...I'm out. Like it enough and people like Django intrigue me and are fun to hear and watch but when they talk about charts I'm lost.

Good idea, we could start by listing our instrument with the song(s) we add to the Wiki. Then perhaps create another area where people kick in with their instruments on the songs listed.

Not that I want to take away any of the "looseness"of the jam sessions by making it too structured, but personally, I can be a lot "looser" if I kinda know what I'm doing. (I do keyboard/vocals, BTW).

You mean you're supposed to play it the same way every time?

Oldghm

Jimmie Vaughan said of his brother Stevie, "He didn't play it the same way ONCE!"

(Love this.)

Hi Folks,

I published a preliminary agenda on the announcment thread here.
