My 2020 TSGA Jamboree Photos

Jim R. Harrison · Post by **Jim R. Harrison** » 21 Mar 2020 9:21 pm

I finally have my photos edited & selected after being self-isolated at home after returning from Texas due to the COVID-19 virus threat. The photos will be posted in the same order the artists appeared on stage. Many photos will be duplicated as that was the schedule OR because many artists stepped into sets that numerous other artists were unable to fill. I was not able to capture all the artists, especially those playing in the Rick Alexander Room. Unfortunately, some of the photos are not too sharply focused and some artists' names may be misspelled. My apologies!

I noticed in the photo that you are playing an Infinity guitar. Did you receive any flack from your employer, MSA, about not playing one of their guitars?

Larry Schoppe · Post by **Larry Schoppe** » 22 Mar 2020 8:28 am

Great photos, Jim! Thanks for all your time and hard work.

Jim:

Could you tell us if you know you were exposed at the Jamboree or was just being in such a crowd make you take the precaution? Or were you exposed in another situation?

Thanks so much for the photos!

Good Ol' Texas Bassman JIM PACK backed Sarah Jory, Lloyd Green and several others! Jim also writes charts for many of the musicians. Great job Jimmy Don!!!!!!!

Darrell, As far as I know, I was NOT exposed to the COVID-19 virus anywhere. However, traveling through three International Airports (twice) and on four different aircraft, one cannot take any chances! I'm still healthy and would be playing rugby in two weeks except the B.C. Rugby Union has cancelled ALL rugby events for the time being.

Well done as ever Jim. You'd be hard pushed to find any of your pics that are not in focus. Great job buddy.

Dale Rottacker · Post by **Dale Rottacker** » 22 Mar 2020 10:12 am

Beautiful pictures Jim... I was there but didn't see all of this... Thanks for posting these and STAY Healthy

Great photos as always, Jim. Almost like being there. You and your camera have a great eye for details. Hope you are back playing rugby as soon as we reach the new "normal."

Jim, your pictures are fantastic as always. Thanks for sharing for those of us who couldnâ€™t be there. Hope to see you next year.

Hey Jim,
Thank you for the pictures.
That must have been time consuming
Posting so many.
Good job.

Jim R. Harrison · Post by **Jim R. Harrison** » 27 Mar 2020 6:50 pm

I know I should have written this earlier but things are happening. I want to thank the people who wrote many fine compliments on the photos I posted - thank you so much!! I hope the pictures showed those who were unable to attend what a marvelous event we experienced at the Jamboree! Sincerely, Jim Harrison

Roy Heap · Post by **Roy Heap** » 28 Mar 2020 12:09 am

Fantastic photos Jim as usual. I know most of the names of these players but not their faces so it's great to put names to these faces.
I don't think I will ever be lucky enough to ever make Dallas but your pictures do help.
I thank you for the many great photos the you have given me permission to use over the years for our British Steelies newsletters.
Wishing you all the best
Stay safe and well.
