Yes indeed!
Not sure if I'm bringing the Princeton yet. Space is a bit tight in the car with all the gear for the jam and bicycle ride the following 4 days.
Lots of "woman stuff" in the car. Takes up a LOT of room.
We're gonna kill it Chuck! No phtots. They don't deserve it!
I posted the event on facebook with a link. Maybe some of the other guys will come and play.

Sounds great. I know at least two thirds of your set list so, we've got this covered either way.
It will be great to see the jangle man, LOL.
I brought the Princeton I got from Dan the Blues Man so I hope we're not playing too loud tomorrow. I think a mid-day crowd is going to want something a little lighter anyway.
I need to borrow a guitar cable from someone if you could please bring an extra.
Check your email. I don't have your number.
Looking forward to a really good time. It's been a while since we've done this jam thing. We were the ones that made it happen in the beginning. Maybe we're the ones to usher it out. I just don't see it happening anymore. Good times await! See you tomorrow!
Coolio,
Show last night was brutal. Outside, 90°F, humid and sound gremlins. Stage had along aluminum ramp with no handrails. Then an hour drive home.
At least we found a nexis of hot biker chicks near the Pennsylvania border. Oh, to be young again!
We're all set for today so see you there!
Chuck
What a great time!
OSA put on a very well planned and executed day of music.
Full PA and sound man provided, and all the players necessary for a successful event.
Lots of good jams and groovin' music as the crowd rolled in and out all day. Really nice folks.
Dan the Blues Man, the Princeton exceeded all expectations. Sweet and chimey and plenty of volume for the gig. I am soooooo pleased with it! Thank you!
Thank you Chuck for putting on such a fine afternoon for all in attendance. Up to your usual standard of excellence.
Off to do some bicycle riding for the next 4 days. 100 miles of the Eerie Canal Trail. Weeeeeeeee!
Dan, I can't understand how you let that Princeton Reverb get away from you! That amp ROCKS.
Yeah, we had a good time. Not bad for some old farts. Kudos to the band, they were all gassed from an out-of-town gig the night before but hung in there like the troupers they are. We have a "summer tour" lined up now where we don't get a weekend's rest and road gigs.
It was awesome to share the stage with TeleBob and Rickenjangle again.
I'd say we crushed it.
Chuck
glad to hear that the Princeton was a good amp. After not using it for so long, I figured I have my Fender tones in hand with the big combo. Irrationally, I've been looking at Princeton Reverb ads again LOL.
I still have my Princeton non-reverb with the removable baffle and a waiting 12" baffle and a Weber Blue Dog speaker. Plus a nice FRV-1 '63 pedal for when I need a little ambiance. But I'm enjoying the Marshall I bought with the proceeds of the sale and I'm still looking for the DSL 401. Why? Cuz Imma dumbass, that's why :D
awesome that the jam went well. If there's ever another one, I hope I can go.
There was a guy that showed up to play who was very good and really ripped it up. He was so frickin' loud though, it kinda killed the vibe.
I called a slow, quiet version of "Crossroads" with the emphasis on QUIET and slow. Just as I was about to count it out, the unknown guitar player rips into it loud and fast and the band followed.
No harm, no foul. I just happen to sing it an octave lower, in more of Leon Redbone style, and couldn't hit the notes so I backed off the mic and let it jam out.
When it was over, I left the stage to let him play loudly with the band. It's just not my thing.
I gave him a quick, turn it down gesture, and stuck a finger in my ear. Unfortunately, the guy got upset and just left all red faced and miffed. Apparently, a couple others made similar gestures about volume.
If he wasn't sooooooo much louder than everyone else it would not have been an issue. I felt bad about him leaving because I could hear the guy really had great chops and a lot experience playing other great players.
Too bad excessive volume is such a disease among some players.
Dude, if you're on this forum, I really enjoyed your playing.
He used to be in the "House Band" at CBGB's back in the day (really) so I guess he figures he needs to be that loud 45 years later.Quote:

But we still had fun. I loved the warmup stuff we did at whisper volumes. That was some great stuff.
Chuck
But just one of those moments that happens. If it wasn't him it would have been one of the rest of us LOL.
