            A bit too far for me.

            Lift a glass and pick a few tunes for me!

                Last year Walzem and I brought beat up tweeds. I had a lap steel. This year I can throw in a Les Paul Jr. and my Melody Maker with PAFs. Heck, maybe I’ll just bring a bunch of amps and oddball electric too.

                  Matt Hayden is more than welcome to take along all the amps he’s currently storing for me.  🙂

                  They’re small but make nice sounds.

                  🙂

                              I suspect this will happen this Friday as that’s the date of the party, sometime between 7-8 pm Pacific time, I’ll shoot for 7:30 but traffic could be a factor….if not, I’ll take a bunch of Pic’s

                                Have to cancel. Hauling two dogs, finding a place to stay, four hour drive, too much darn trouble.

                                  Originally, the wife said yes. Then she said no. I lined up a Cruz owning friend to come along. Then the wife said she wanted to go. I looked at renting a motor home for the weekend. Came to $500. A hotel was $130. Air Bnb was $90. Turns out she had to cancel her hair appt. I just decided to give up,

                                  then I found out Tony McManus was playing nearby.

                                  lets have our own party somewhere and sometime.
