Now that's the kind of boot camp I could get into!! I know those guys are having a blast..... leaving with more steel knowledge is just "icing on the cake"!! I sure wish I could be there!!

Thanks for the "inside" look David!

Congrats to Reece & Teresa on another year!!

Echoing Junior's comments of thanks to Reece & Teresa for the hospitality (and for leaving the game on while we played :D First playoff win in Rangers history, yay!)

I applaud all the students for jumping right in and taking turns in that last jam. That's not an easy thing to do but nobody flinched, especially Jeff Harbour, who said he'd only been playing five years. I couldn't pick my nose after five years. It's easy to see that you folks understand and are already beginning to apply what Reece has taught you in such a short time. Kudos to all of you.

Junior and David, it was great to see you both again, along with your lovely ladies. Especially to see Saran doing great so soon after surgery.

My favorite moment of the night: After already having played the fire out of Reece's guitar for an hour, and taking his turn playing "Undecided" in Bb, Junior pointed at the back neck, looked over at me with a bewildered expression and said, "This thing's in 'C', ain't it?"

This is your Fast Track reporter,
Yesterday was last day for the Boy's, they learned some Swing, and sub cords, @ 5 it was over, they all received a wealth of info in the past 3 days.. on that they ALL agreed :whoa: We had a Birthday Boy also Jammie turns 60 today!!! I can't begin to tell you how much fun we all had in the past 3 day's, and all the learning that came with it..After dinner, we all sat out and maurice told Funny , great stories about all his years playing ... and things that happened...

I want to thank Jammie, Ron, Jeff, & Sonny for all the fun we had , and most of all a safe trip home..and Chris for the Great Coffee he sent from Portland!!!

As you can see even the dogs were plum wore out!!!!

My friend Jeff Harbour with Jr. Knight looking over his shoulder. I'd of had a melt down for sure. Boys that cake sure looked good. Congrats and happy birthday! Jeff, what a great experience that must have been. And to all, I'm sure it must have been a great and enlightening time.

I'm glad you all had such a great time (not there was any doubt!). Glad you enjoyed the coffee - it made me feel like I was there, at least in spirit!

Well,,I have returned home with enough information and study material to last me a looong, looooong time! I would VERY highly recommend this "camp",,but be prepared to absorb some real musical knowledge,,,the whys,,whens,,,and hows,,,not just a bunch of licks! This is a chance to benefit from Reece's YEARS of musical knowledge!!!

And the hospitality is GREAT,,,they make you feel right at home. And those two French girls that live with'em,,whoaaa,,,, (I guess they are French,,Fiette and Evette),,,an added bonus,,,very beautiful,,,and very affectionate,,,I mean,,,like sit on your lap and,,,???,,,and they really took to me,,guess they like old guys,,,oh,,,did I mention they are dogs?,,,,(no,,,not the kind of dogs you're used to waking up with after too much to drink,,,these are REAL dogs,,,poodles I think,,,,)

Anyway,,,had a great time,,,learned a lot,,,made new friends,,,ready to move my playing to next level!!! Better get signed up.

Hey Dave,,,same here!!,,really good to get acquainted with you,,,,!! Yeh,,when that soap dispenser fell in the shower I figured the whole household would be up there,,,,and that would have been a "pitiful" sight!!!

(Hope everyone don't get the wrong idea about the kind of place Reece and Theresa are running there????)

This camp was a wonderful experience for us all. Reece and Teresa made us feel like family, and the instruction was like no other I've ever been offered. Reece has an great method and imparts it so incredibly well. I highly recommend the camps to anyone who would like to take their playing to the next level and have a great time doing it. A big shout out and thanks to Christopher Woitach for the excellent coffee he sent us to celebrate the first camp.

This was simply the best.

I had the time of my life!
I made it back home right on schedule after a visit in Oklahoma. Thanks again to Reece & Teresa!
To my fellow campers... Sonny, Jamie, and Ron... I'm glad to now have you all as friends. Hope we all can be back down there again.
I really enjoyed the jam with David, Junior, Jeff, and Reece of course. I appreciate everything you all did.
Dick Sexton, I'm sending you an email about something this weekend.

Jeff
