Bump

Hum I got no response maybe they don't want to come any more.Let me know so I know what to do.
Sam White

Sam,
I see were you are having another jam on OCT 20th, but I didn't see any question for us to respond back to. If its "do you plan on attending" then count me in.

Allen Howington

Sorry Allen. All who want to attend let me know. This place is big enough where as if people want to dance in the back of the room there is plenty of room and it also has a big stage for the band.It is about 3/4 the size of the the American Legion in Benson.I'm sure a lot of you have been to the American Legion.Anna and I go there to see Duke's band Southern Drawl and Ray Walker use to play with them until god called him.
Sam White

I may try to make it this time. The one you had at the Golden Pawn in Clayton I heard was a very good one last fall and I missed it.

It's still a ways off to tell, but i will definatley try to make it. I'll bring my rhythm tracks with me.

Sam I would love to come and play at this jam. Look forward to seeing everyone and also meeting new people. Thanks for all your hard work putting this together.

Sam if every thing goes well I will try to be there I hope Allen and Johnny will let me sit up close to them.When I grow up I hope to play half as good as those guys then I will be alright.

Thanks
B.J.

Sam,

I put it on my calendar. As we get closer to the date I will confirm. As of now, I am planning on being there.

Sam, I will make it, put me between Glen and Allen and I will control the yak yak.

Sam...I will attempt to make it as well. Really enjoyed the last one, it is always a pleasure visiting with a fellow transplant from Rhode Island.

Hi David hope you are able to make this one we have a large hall this time. It is the Coats N.C. Senior Center and there will be room in the back of the hall for people to dance and that will be great as the Senior Center can make some money for the seniors.
It will be easy for you to find this place as it is 7 Miles off I-95. You will get off at the Benson N.C. Exit 79 and take a right at the end of Exit that is Route 301 follow strait threw town and go strait as 301 gores to the right you will keep going strait for about 3/4/ to 1 mile and you will come to Route 27 and bears to the left and you go about 6 miles and you will see a Grandma School on your right take the street to your left and the Senior center sits up on the hill to your left.

Sam, count me in on Oct. 20th. I will have Bob Stone with me. Thanks, Jack.

I just wanted to let everyone know to keep Gene Hinton and his family in there prayers.He is going Friday to have a stint put in.
Thanks B.J.

Yes BJ I was talking to Gene Hinton the other day and he said they are thinking that is what is got his blood pressure out of kilter.I will be in touch with him as soon as he gets out of the hospital today. He mentioned he is going to have music Friday night in his barn in the back yard. I will keep everyone posted on how he makes out.Thanks BJ for letting everyone know about Gene I should have but he is going to be OK. I still go on Gone Home and listen to Ray and Cody doing the song Ray wrote about I walk with the Angels every night I go on the computer. I really miss Ray he was my Idol.
Sam White

Gene,
Prayers for you during your surgery. I just had it done a little over a month ago, really will make you feel better. BJ, thanks for the post for Gene, I know he really appreciates it.
