Frank, Thanks for all you do for us. I have BIB, but I'm not set up near as well as you are. I'm sure someone will fill in Sunday. I heard a rumor that J.D may show up. Hope,hope . Everyone come out for the fun.

Jam

Post by Tom Mossburg »

Had a great time there last year Harvey. Though we were down to the true believers on Sunday, it turned into a great learning jam. One of my favorites. Wish we could do more like that. Nice Lodge, Nice campground.

I'm an old time Pedal Steel Player but I've been heavy into the Dobro for the past 25 years or so. But, I'm going to dust off the old Emmons push-pull and join in on the jam with whatever I can pull out of the woodworks! Looking forward to it! Got to do a Set on Dobro at the 2018 TSGA Non-Pedal Showcase in Dallas last month which was a blast. See you there!

Going to Vista

I'm a sound guy. Let me know if I can help by bringing any sound equipment (for free). I'm also a newbie steeler with a fine D10. Looking forward to meeting folks and listening to the jams.

I wasn't able to go to the last one, but last Spring, the Elks' kitchen was open, right at the jam site.

Had a super time at the jam and want to send out a great big thank you to Harvey, Frank and the other folks who made it all possible! It was a bit challenging playing my 1937 Dobro along with all those great pedal steel players but they didn't kick me out so I guess I fit in pretty well. But, I hope to have my old Emmons with me next time everyone comes to my hometown!
