Ok folks, it’s been a year and a half since we did this last so I thought I’d start the ball rolling. Mike and I discussed this in Chicago and thought it’d be a good time to throw it up for some timing and venue ideas. So are the folks in the area ready to do it again and if so when is a good time for everyone? I really liked the venue we used last time. The price was right and it had lots of room. I’d like to see the out of town brothers, (Michael, David & Jorge) be able to make it if you guys can. Christian you are always welcome; of course I don’t think your wife would be as understanding about 2 trips to the US in one year. LOL Ok guys chime in and lest get the ball rolling. OO PS. Mica Dallas is a great place to visit. And I’d personally show you guys around town.  | ||

The Jam Station is a nice venue and I wouldn’t mind going back. Roomy enough to set up, talk and play. My only concern (and it's a small one) would be the time restrictions they had on the room if people want to hang around longer. Depending on the number of people attending, an alternative could be someone’s home - granted the support and approval of any interested domestic parties. Friendlier accommodations, possible beer, wine and BBQ action at the end of the day, or during for that matter. Just thinking aloud if some are interested AND we have a place to hold it. Here’s a thought: Zoo Music has the store property that was Larry Morgan’s place. Larry constructed a few nicely sized rooms after he moved in a few years back. Zoo is using it as a place for storage since Larry closed. Sad outcome if you ask me. But it may be an option. I’d like to also to have more than one guitar player if the plan is to jam. I think Dave was a little overwhelmed with the volume of bassists, hardee har har. And one that knows some older, uh, “seasoned” material would be good. David - certainly OK is hotter than Texas in the Summer, where’d all that red dirt come from? Keavin - what are the chances that you’ll be making a family trip this fall? Could we time something?

We can use my house but room may be a slight problem and we'd have to woory about the dogs "wizzin" on the instruments.  I have a couple of guys in mind, guitar players, that I'm pretty sure I can get to come out for this. I'm also working on a six stinger that we all know and love from the west coast area! And Mike is right Keavin, I think Mrs. Barnes needs to visit her family, say around Sept.? OO | ||

What about Cheeseheads? Do they let Cheeseheads into Texas? I'll let 'the group' decide on a date and see if I can swing it. Right now the odds are not in my favor ($$$) but "Shoot Y'all, I had more fun than a brahma bull in a buckin' contest in Chi-town... it would be as sweet as iced-tea to be in Dallas." My cousins were actually next door neihbors to Mike Ditka when he lived in Richardson - back in the days when he was a player and not a coach. Calvin Hill was my hero back then! :-) | ||

Sir David - it won't be "not so hot" until Thanksgiving!! :-) All y'all know I'm in. A thought: Reserve the Jam Station for a few hours for playing and then move to a nearby eatery/drinkery for the not-playing part.....There's a little Cajun place not too far away that has a moderate sized "back room" that I might be able to reserve. I can probably arm-twist a couple of 6-stringers into joining us as well. Of course, would we really need additional highs if the Esquire joins us from CA....... C-Ya.......wayne | ||

Paul, Cheesheads are always welcome! Now I don't know if we'll have a 4x21 for you to play with but we usually have some good rigs there. Waynes Bag-End equipped rig is REALLY good! Bill, my dad was born in Buffalo NY and rasied just a few miles south in Ridgeway PA. So I have some "Yankee" roots, but shhhhhhh..... don't say it TOO loud. OO | ||

Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 559 Registered: 4-2003 |
Yankee roots? My mom spent her early years in NY before moving to Mass (Mathuen, Lawrence, Andover). Much to her family's befuddlement she married an Okie. There's been a constant Yankee vs Okie fued since then, mostly perpetuated by my dad. A few years ago one of his great aunts traced the family history. Turns out he has Yankee roots that are deeper than my mom's. Irony at it's finest. Paul, hey man, everyone is welcome. | ||

Awesome Michael. Mike and I had talked about this and thought it would be cool to have the wife and kids come too. I guess we should shoot for early September hopefully before school starts back. David don't work for the college up there and if so when do you start back there? I have a couple of drummers I can get to come and hopefully we can get Pete, the cat that played drums the last couple of times. I have some guitar players in mind too, maybe Jorges new guitar will be ready and he'll be ready to show it off. Bill, I think you'll be due for a weekend get-away about September wouldn't you agree? And I think Mrs. Barnes may heed to visit her sister around then, eh Keavin? Anyone have an preference for which weekend in September? OO PS Mica since Ron had to miss Chicago you guys owe him a weekend away! Say maybe Oh i don't know to Dallas in September?

Guys, been off the board way too long, but really pumped about the September get-together. We've got a pretty good-sized house (Wayne has seen it), but it sounds like we're going to have a really big group this time, so Jam Station maybe best choice if everyone is going to show up. My rig's expanded a little bit, but no new Alembics to up the body count. Wanted to float another idea for the group, especially since we have families traveling from afar - we could host a cook-out, swim for everyone at the house either Friday evening if everyone is going to be in around dinner, or Saturday after the Jam. Might give us a little more relaxed setting and more time to hang out. Just a thought - let me know if there's any interest. | ||

Adam, I completely understand. She's a great bass, and I've got these super light strings on her now that make for a very different, groovy playing experience. Actually, this is the first chance I've had to really play with my new setup - I've got an old F2B, running through a Mackie FR1400 stereo amp that dumps about 300 watts a side into a pair of Eden D210XST (the low frequency versions good down to 30 hz). I set the cabinets on opposite sides of the stage, angled in, and the stereo sound and output is absolutely freaking amazing! Really demonstrates the fidelity of Series instruments. (and I can go mono into 4 ohms with the same rig and get 1400 watts into the cabinets in parallel with the MK5 Signature - also sounds like a dream come true). Adam, back to your request, if you'll just drop that 89 SII in the mail, I'll pack up the S1 in the same box and get it right back out to you and we can call it even | ||
