Thanks to Bowie Martin - here are directions to the MASGA jam!

The address of the Jam site is: 1001 Forest Hills Road, Wilson, NC (Forest Hills Road is a major road in Wilson, so most people can tell you how to find it.)

Coming from Hwy 95 (North and South) - Take exit 121 (Hwy 264 Alternate) into Wilson. You will pass (on your right) Target, Rudy Tuesdays, Chili's. The first major road is Forest Hills Road - take a left (McDonalds on Corner). Go around a curve to your right; you will see Tennis Courts on your right and the clubhouse is right beside the Tennis Courts.

Coming from Raleigh - take Hwy 64 East, then Hwy 264 to Wilson. Take the Hwy 264 Alternate exit and it will pass over Hwy 95; follow the above directions.

From east, come to Wilson on Hwy 264 (or get on 264 approaching Wilson), and head West on 264. Take Hwy 42 exit into Wilson. Take a left on Forest Hills Road (CVS and Walgreen at intersection). Go past Applebee's on your right and a McDonalds on your left, continue around curve, and clubhouse is beside the tennis courts on your right.

I will be there!!..It will get good to see a lot of good friends again, plus hear some great picking...

Also, just spoke with Allyn Love (Steve Warner's steel player); he is living in Raleigh. He wants to come down Saturday, but his wife is ill so he will not know until the last minute. If he does come, many of you will be quite impressed will Allyn - not too much left to do after he gets through with a song.

If you are coming to Wilson early on Friday night and want a place to hear some good country - come on down to Robie's Barn in LaGrange, NC. Kenny Dail and I try our best to play it the way it is supposed to be played.
