Welcome to Oklahoma weather!! Raining one minute, snowing baseball size snow the next, to sun shining a couple of hours later....WHEW!!! I want to thank all that attended Saturday. A big thanks goes to James for the siminar and the pointers he gave us. James, both of my fingers are in splints now thanks to the collision they had on the neck. Harper, "you da man". I was especially impressed with the backup band that played for their first time together. You would have thought they had been doing this together for a while......great job guys! We had several guests that attended and want to invite them back each and every opportunity. This club is going to be doing different things from time to time and continue to grow in the great state of Oklahoma. I am very proud to be a part of this growth. A great BIG thanks to Bob Belcher for his continuous hard work in keeping this thing going.

Some of you guys probably already knew about this, but I learned a couple of things at this meeting:

1. Mr. Bob Belcher can really sing. Wow!

2. Gerald don't neeed nooo steeenkeeng peedals!

Joel, sure enjoyed you at the Jam! You got some nice chops! I KNEW you were holding out on us! HA!!

Good point there Joel, I was hearing this super high harmonic melody playing on that Hank song and looked over and saw Gerald with his hat on leaned over that multichord and had to stop singing...I had to listen. But it was priceless when he looked up and said "what....?" Where have you been keeping those at Gerald? Even James had a grin on his face sitting there with hs arms crossed!

Okay guys, your money is on the way That was a "Hank" song? I was just practicing the finger licks that James had showed us earlier........forgot to turn my volume pedal off

Hummmm, you been holding out on us, too, ehh, Gerald ?!
