A steel jam on the Central Coast?

Gary Walker · Post by **Gary Walker** » 22 Aug 2002 7:00 pm

I was asked today to see about having a steel jam on the beautiful Central Coast. We're half-way between SF and LA in a quaint lovely town with charm and sea breezes. Thought I would put some feelers out there to see if any interest, thank, Gary.

Hi Gary,

If I'm out there, I'd be glad to show (next month and Nov). My mom is in Los Osos, sister in Creston, and I've been keeping my Mullen out there.

I have family in San Luis and Cambria. Sounds like a good time to make the rounds and have a little fun. I regret missing the northern CA jam.

I'd be up for it. Grew up in Morro Bay. My parents still live there and my brother's in SLO. Played in the infamous Pozo River Bottom Band before I came down to the big city. Is there much happening in country these days in SLO county? How many pedal steelers are in the area now? My brother actually used to play pedal steel for a couple groups back in the 70's and 80's there.

I lived in Cambria from '88 to 98, and played steel in the Moonstone Cowboys, along with many duos and trios. I remember the Pozo River Bottom Band. I'm in LA now, but I go to Cambria a lot, so I could probably make it - when...? As far as other steel players in the area, there's John Clark, who now lives in Atascadero, and the great Milt Myers, in Arroyo Grande.[This message was edited by Rich Weiss on 23 August 2002 at 07:59 PM.]

Sounds like it could fly. Will work on some logistics and see if we can stir some more interested parties, but it looks good right now and will keep you posted, thanks again, guys. Sounds like we could have wonderful time and meet some new friends and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Jim Baron, email me. I wrote you yesterday and it came back, thanks, G.

I can probably come too. It depends on the date. Mid November would be best for me.

Gary....What town do you actually live in? I've been looking for an excuse to go surfing at my old stomping/surfing grounds again. Jalama/Morro Bay maybe? Maybe I can make it for a joint surf/PSG venture. Lemme know.
Whooohaaa. Rick S.

That sounds like fun. If it's in November, I think the Mullen and I can make it. I have family in So. CA. Two daughters and some grandchildren. I'd love to meet some of the guys and hear them play.
I lived in So CA for about five or six years back in the 80's. I played with a band called Champagne Country. We played all over Central and Northern CA, as well as SoCA

Let me know .. K?

Depending on whether I have to work or not, I would like to come also. Sundays work best for me as I never have to work on Sundays.

Count me in too (I'll commit early this time!). And I like that idea about the surfing/steeling thing.

Just make sure you bring a wet suit. The water's a hell of lot colder than it is in Palos Verdes.

Gary,

Count me in...I've just finished moving my family back to Santa Maria and getting settled in to a nice little horse place.

I have been looking at the last Saturday in October the 26th or the Saturday after Thanksgiving which the 23rd of November and Checking about a hall to rent. Just thought I would update the topic, thanks, Gary.

Michael Brebes · Post by **Michael Brebes** » 27 Aug 2002 7:03 am

If I remember, the Cayucos Vets Hall is pretty cheap to rent. Cheaper than Morro Bay Vets Hall. Might also be cheaper than Oddfellow's.

Gary Walker · Post by **Gary Walker** » 27 Aug 2002 9:05 am

Thanks Michael, will check that out.

My blues band (Deja Blues)will be playing at Happy Jacks in Morro Bay on Oct 4th & 5th. If any of you are in the area, come by and say hello & sit in. Bring a lap steel or just play my shortscale 8 string Excel frypan. It's tuned like Ricky Davis's E13. Unfortunately I don't think there's enough room on the stage for a pedal steel with my Hammond B3 up there.

Gary Goodman · Post by **Gary Goodman** » 31 Aug 2002 9:25 pm

I will try to make, sound like a good time.

Possible, depends on the work schedule, if there is any. I was just up there looking at the elephant seals in San Simeon, any excuse to go up there is a good one.
