Calling all jammers ,is anybody out there ?

Here am I.

Happy Holidays to one and all . G.P.

Don't eat too much turkey, dressing, and pumpkin pie.

Kenny ''no pumpkin pie for me '' ! Plenty of turkey ,dressing and home made noodles . Yum Yum .

Kenny, you ready for me to come back up and pull them new chips out yet... Or, ya want me to bring up another set for the other 112?

I'm gonna try to make it back up... If you want I'll bring "the stuff".

Great pics guys... It was a good one!

Yes! Time for another order of Fish & Peavey Chips.

God willin and the creek don't rise, I'll be there with goods in hand... See you then!

Gary,

I will be able to attend this time. I will bring the audio stuff down on Friday evening around 4 PM.

Marvin

I hope Greg Jones is able to come back and be with us again.

Guys i'm afraid it will be hard to beat the last crowd we had ! All we can do is hope folks will need some time off from Christmas shopping to relax and enjoy some great music . Remember it will be a while before the next jam ! We are going to go out and have dinner after we set up the room i hear maybe '' Rice Bowl ''. They have great Chinese food to say the least . They were one of my sponsors for my '' Gospel Jubilees ''so i try to support them . I have been asked to think about doing another ''Gospel Jubilee '' but it takes a lot of work selling spaces for a program . I will think about it !

Kenny since you mentioned Greg Jones , i bought one of his cd's called my kind of steel . Greg and the back up band did a '' wonderful job '' . I encourage everyone to buy one of his cd's ,you will enjoy . G.P.

Hey Gary I will be there, Steve B.

I love Rice Bowl.

Two more days.

Gary, Thanks for the "plug" on my CD's!!! It means alot. I am not going to be able to make it to the jam, gotta work. See you in the spring, hopefully. All my best to everyone there and have a good time!!!

Greg

Thank you Greg.

gregr' were you working at? havn't heard from you in years.. i must have done something GOD awful..
Im getting ready to pick at the Az. show in Jan. give me a jingle sometime... all my numbers are still the same..
Mike

Hi Greg . I meant what i said about your cd . You did several different styles of music that was refreshing to hear . I loved it my friend . Take care and be safe and hope to see you and your dad early next year .

We had another great jam . Our number was down and i think we had 10 steel players today and they all had a great time .
Mr . Lonnie Coots did a great job singing and playing lead and steel guitar , he kept the jam rolling ,it's great to have him with us at the jams . Thank you Lonnie .

I am going to try to get the schedule changed a little so our friends in Charleston West Virginia can be with us more . Again thanks to all that are a part of our jams . Best regards and be safe the rest of the holiday season. G.P.

Yes, we had another great time yesterday at the jam. Lonnie Koontz is great fellow all around, singer, picker, and good humor. Hope to see everyone in March,2011. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

Good friends, good time, good food, good music and great band. Gary, thank you brother. Kenny is all hooked up. Heard some really good steal from everyone. Got to see Gary Phillips new baby. Marvin introduced me to his ZUM and the Zirc bar. Thanks Marvin. Sorry I again, had to cut out early, it was starting to flurry and I had a ways to go. We still have about two inches on the ground here.

I'll try to remember my steel next time. Haha!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday, but especially be blessed.

See you at the next jam.

Yes Kenny we had a great time to say the least . '' The mods '' Mr. Sexton did on your amps woke them up along with the Lexicon Processor . They were kicking !

I just talked to Lonnie and found out his last name is spelled Coots ! Now we know .

Mr. Sexton we expect you to bring your steel to the next jam mister ! No excuses !

Guys i just found out that Ray Pemberton passed away . I will go to the family ,etc and see if anyone has made a post . Ray was a long time steel player around Ohio .

I have gotten other dates for our jams . I am trying to rearrange them so the folks in West Virginia can come .They add so much to the jams and are great folks also . I will update the dates when i talk with them . Be blessed . G.P.

Love them Nashville 112's with new chips! And Lexicon. Whoops!, Sorry Lonnie. Lonnie Coots. Got it right that time. Yes Dick, bring your guitar, amp, and a box of chips in March. If I remember correctly, Ray Pemberton played a white MSA Millenium D-10. The Rice Bowl was exceeeeeeeeeeeeelent Friday evening. Gary, thank you for the pizza.
