All seriousness aside folks...
Great weekend!
Excellent, warm hospitality provided by Chris & Rick Aiello.
Many cute bright-eyed kids running around thanks to Aiello and Neer DNA.
World class food and drink.
A nice preview of springtime weather (Friday and Sunday) for us Northeners.
Too many to count once in a lifetime musical moments, especially after midnight.

Sure wish I could have been there and enjoyed all of that good music. Did anyone record any of it?
My Grand-daughter( UNC Gymnastics) was competing in the SE NCAA regionals at University of Ga Sat nite. So we had to be there.

Mahalo!

If not, don't bother showing the pictures. |

| Glad to hear Bill Schmedlin was there. When I was running the show in Winchester I had to work poor Bill to death as so many people wanted to hear him. He had to play in the Am, PM, and at night for everyone great guy. The next time you see him have him play and sing Makalapua. It'l make you cry. CC |

In addition to everything that was stated above....I'd like to add that I have NEVER met ANYONE that is as un-selfish as Rick and Chris. To open their house to a multitude like that is truly amazing. The hospitality and the food was TOP SHELF, in addition to all of the entertainment. It was a great weekend!
Thanks again Rick and Chris
And thanks for fixing my guitar.
Dinner and drinks are on me at Al's Steak House this fall in Joliet.

Wow, what a cool thread! Lots of nice pics, too.
I did have a great time, and what a thrill to do it in the home of my great friend, Rick Aiello. I think we salvaged the weekend.
I want to personally extend a thanks to everyone, and just let everyone know how much I enjoyed their company and playing: Gerald Ross, Dave Giegerich, Howard Reinlieb, Dan Eason, Steve Miller, Harry Dietrich, Jeff Strouse, Bill Schmeidlin, Dave Kitchen, Marv and Kathy Reitz, Chip Schutte, John Soper, and a few others, including Dave Hancock (what a trip). Especially you, Rick, and yes, I was listening, and yes, you are my favorite steel guitar player. 
Anyway, I talked with Bill Schmeidlin today on the phone and he told me, in his words, when I asked him if he enjoyed himself: "It was the biggest thrill of my life." That says a lot, considering the company he's kept. He also paid me some compliments that really made me blush. What a treasure.
And Rick Collins: No, there was no alcohol served. |
