Hi Jack:
I don't know how I missed this Topic until tonight. I think this is what this area needs. Several asked where Daleville, Alabama is located. It is in Southeast Alabama at the South Gate of Fort Rucker, Al., about 20 miles west of Dothan Al. and about 7 miles east of Enterprise,Al. on Hiway US 84 4 lane. The VFW is about 1/4 mile east of the traffic light on Hiway US 84 in Daleville, Al.
Jack if there is any I can help you with this show, let me know as I am available most any time. Good luck with the show.
James

forgot to mention also that we will have space available if anyone has anything you might want to sell,swap, trade etc. james: i am sorry that i havent called you i have been on the phone for about two weeks. jim: am also looking forward to hear you play. ....thanks jack

Jack I will have the Profex 2 for sale, it has been updated, Mod and batteryless chip, all the presets are there 120 of them ,Hughey, Sasser, Newman, Green, Mooney, Beavers, all the top Pros, it is set the way they set theirs or the way their amps are set up. That is what the profex is all about.
I am selling this to buy the Fender 1000. Jack you know how it is sell one to buy another.
The Silvertone and Boss has been sold.
I also have a alesis SR 16 Drum machine, has been prograed with 3/4 time track, the machine does not come with any 3/4 time tracks built in. for $110.00, with power supply. It is very new has not been used hardly at all.

If someone can post an address for the VFW, I'll do a MapQuest to find it!

roger: i dont know the actual address. but if you come to dothan alabama then go west on highway 84. it is about 20/miles. the vfw is on the left of highway 84 just before you get to the one and only redlight....thanks jack

Looks like Ruth and I will be there. Ruth's house is in Daleville and on the market for sale. We need to check on it and I have a doctor's appointed on Monday there as well.


The VFW is just a few miles from the house on Hwy 84. So we will see you there!!

Hey Ken, bring your tools. I need ya to swap out the busted Gain pot on my amp.

See ya soon!


JW

Will do her for you, Jim!. Just remind me again before we take off and I will load up some basic shop tools.

Did you get the pot yet???

yes sir, it's right here.

ken: you are welcome to bring your mod stuff, we will get you a space........thanks jack

Sounds like a good idea! I will have mods kits for N-112 and N-1000 for sale. I can install those at the show as well, it is pretty easy to do.

I could also pick up amps for the "intense mod" (Nashville 400, Vegas 400), the Brad Sarno mod (Session 400 and LTD400) and also tube amps in need of repair, if applicable. That would save folks shipping to the shop.

I will be able to do the battery-less mods as well, unless I run out of chips. I have 12 left right now and hope to order more next week, if they have any left.

Jack send me an exact address to the show and I can find it, on my GPS.

ernie

ernie: come to dothan alabama and come around the circle on the west side to highway 84 west, turn left on 84 west and you will be in daleville in about 20 minutes. it is on the left side of 84 west just before you get to the only red light in dalevile on highway 84 west.....

I am bumping. Since this is the first show, we need lots of exposure.
James

updated players list....thanks jack

Looking forward to seeing my buddy Sonny again, been a long time, Shorty

Hey Jack - will there be any accordions on display? HA!

The show will be great - Don Helms is headlining! Wish I could join ya'll but once again I'll miss my good friend Jim Walker. And that Roger fella who plays up a storm. Have a great time!!!

lana: we wont have room for the accordian this time. martha said that she really wishes you could be there to help her with the emceeing of the show. this will be her first time. she also said the butterflies wings will be as big as the accordian....thanks martha and jack

Jack, I wish I could be there but I just can't make it. BTW,at a Gulfport show, I kept seeing someone and thinking I should know him. It wasn't until later I realized it was you. I'm sorry I didn't seek you out and speak. Good luck with the show.

Oh my, if Martha's going to emcee, who's going to make the coffee? HA! I would love to emcee a show with Martha. She'll do just fine I'm sure but if she gets stuck, have her call me, I'll help her out over the phone!

Love you guys and see ya soon!
