Gerald,
It is too much fun to miss. Two more steel guitarist are accompanying me from Vancouver.
Plus I have invited a young person from my old home ground in Michigan, hoping it will spark an interest.
Looking forward to seeing Dick again and meeting Jody Carver for the first time.
Aloha, 
Don |

I'll be there. My first time. Anyone want to share a ride from the Chicago (Midway?) Airport to Joliet on Thursday afternoon?

I should be there for the nightly jams starting Wednesday, with a full cooler and a couple of cheap ukes tuned in a confusing key.
Is there a better way to get non HSGA/non forumites into the luau on Saturday? Last year I had to rely on Bob H. paying for my wife and I Friday morning (thanks again Bob). I know a few people locally that would probably like to go.[This message was edited by Craig Stenseth on 26 July 2006 at 08:14 AM.] |

Barbara Kuhns, Floyd Alexander, and I will be rolling into Joliet late afternoon on Wednesday. We try to set up the sound system before the evening gathering begins, but we don't always make it. I understand we'll be in a different room this year. We may feel the need to experiment with speaker placement in the new room.
I don't have any "inside" information, but past conventions have often had surprise visitors.
One time Merle and Ronnie Kekuku showed up from Hawaii unannounced at the Holiday Inn-that was fun!

I'll be there for sure. Trying to talk some friends into coming out with me. Keoni Cohelo from Denver area is a great singer, and I'm bugging my uke-addicted friends to come as well.
aloha, chris

I believe that some of the SGForumites should come to this particular convention to expand their musical horizons.
I heard some explanations on this Forum for not coming to the Convention that sound like my wife.
She proceeds to explain all of the reasons why she should not come, i.e. I have so many things to do and it would not be a good use of my time. Or she pines that she doesn't particularly regard this as her favorite kind of music, etc, etc..
Any way she shows some mild resistance, but then comes and thoroughly enjoys it afterwards and then thanks me for bringing her because she had a good time.
Again the moral of the story: Expand your horizons, it may lead you to some new musical ideas and approaches.
Aloha,
Don |

Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers?
And who has the right, as master of the house,
To have the final word at home?

| I plan to go to HGSA for the first time. Been a Forum member for a few years. Being primarily a jazz guitar player I rarely post since I figure I have enough just to read and learn from all you experienced non pedallers. |
