Anyone interested? I can set another one up for this April if there's a good level of interest.

Ok folks, pipe up!

I'll be there as long as it's not the 15th, 16th, or 17th. I'm out of town.

Yay! DZ

You can put me down for a 'maybe'. Not sure if I'll have a way of getting down to San Jose then. I also don't want to hurt anyones ears, as I have yet to subject the general public to my hacking.

I'll see if I can set a date that accommodates as many attendees as possible. As of today, the rooms we usually use are open every Saturday in April. I'll wait until I get some more responses here and via email before I try and pick a date. Plus I need to find a BIAB provider. b0b, are you out there?

Bill,
The only Saturdays I have available in April at this time would be at the end of the month. I hope it ends up being on a date that I'll be able to make it over there.
Thanks, Marc www.marcfriedland.com

I sold my Windows BIAB laptop, but I do have BIAB on my Powerbook. That should work.

At this point all of my weekends in April are free.

Marc, can you be more specific on which dates you're free?

Also, has anyone heard from Richard Sinkler? I can't seem to raise him by email.

Bill,
At this time my gig schedule is saying that if I have to pick between Saturdays in April, then the 23rd or the 30th would work best for me. I'll check back to this post periodically to see when it will actually take place, or I'll wait for your usual email announcement. Again, thanks for your time & energy in putting this event together.

Bill,
The 16th and 17 are actually ok for me. Whatever works best for the group is good for me.

Looking forward to it, Dave

I'm alive and well, I hardly ever check my email anymore (no one ever writes to me). Any weekend in April is OK for me. I promise I will write back to you Bill.

Bill, just for something to do, we may drive up for a spell for the first time since Jay Dee was there.

JayDee came in Nov 2002. It was great to have him there. He came with Jim Baron, whom he was visiting a the time. Jim lives much closer (though still not a short drive away) which made it a lot more practical for both to come. Jim's availablity is very limited this April, and I'm trying to get a date that will work for him (and everybody, if possible!). He didn't mention JayDee for this trip. I'd love for JayDee to come again, but I also understand it really is a long haul for him, not to mention his busy schedule....

Hey folks, it's looking like the 23rd will be the day. I'll check to make sure the rooms we usually use are available, then cement the event in place.

Hey b0b, thanks as always for being Mr. BIAB.

Now I'm just waiting on a confirmation from the facilities (church) that we have the rooms set aside for 4/23.

Thanks, Bill, for setting this up again. I will plan to be there.

Thanks also for sending us the DVD of the last jam.

Ok, along with the above link, I've emailed out an announcement note to everyone on my usual jam mailing list. I had to update about 10 bad (bouncing) addresses. Two guys whose emails no longer work (including their listings on the Forum) are Frank Carter and Dave Magram. Anyone know their current addresses? Thanks.

Here's a list of folks who have said they plan on coming (a few are unsure, but most have penned it into their calanders). In no particular order:

Jim Baron, Charlie Wallace, Al Vescovo, Steve French, Tom Cooper, Jim Hankins, Dave Zirbel, John O'Neill, Henry Brooks, Steve Benzian, Doug Berry, Larry Chung, John McConnell, Tim Kavanaugh, Colin Alder, Don Gage, Dave Magram, Pat Ickes, Frank Carter, Will Holtz, John Vaughan, Bobby Lee, Pat Hattic, Richard Sinkler, Gary Walker, Doug Berry, Dave Frye, Brad Bechtel.

That's a great crowd. Don't worry, there's room....2000 square feet.

Does anybody have a PC projector we could use? I could probably get a screen. Right now it looks like we'll have two BIAB laptop providers, b0b and Jim Baron. It would be great if we could put the chord charts up on a screen for all to see.

Hi Bill,
I'll be bringing Todd Clinesmith with me. We're in a bluegrass band together. He builds and plays some of the finest Reso Guitars around. He has a couple of Ricks and would like to play "plugged in".
Thanks for your hard work,
Pat

Pat, you mean he'd be bringing a dobro or two? That'd be great!

I was aiming at making this jam session, would have loved to meet other steelers here in N. Ca., but.... just got an email booking me for a gig in Sac on that day so, maybe next year. Have fun everyone.

Bill,
I'm sure he'll have at least one with him because we have a band rehearsal the following day.
See you soon,
Pat

Jim Ives and I will be hitching a ride Up from L.A. with Al Vescovo. (Or maybe Al and I will be riding with Jim. All I know is we're not taking my car.)

This is a great month for California sttlers. First we had the L.A. Jam, then Jim Palenscar's grand opening and concert is coming up, and then the San Jose jam.
