| Tony, thanks for the notice about the Kannapolis show. I'm just up the road from you in Concord, and I will plan to check it out on Saturday. I tried the link in you post, but theres no schedule there. Do you know if there is a schedule available listing players, times, etc.? |

No, I d not know, but I am sure we will hear from the guys soon. Generally the format is players arrive, set-up, sign up..and play..
Last time they had the McCoy Brother band, fine Band and fine guys too..many players jammed with the Band instead of tracks..it worked out real well.
It's great time..very informal, very relaxed.. |

Just received confirmation that Fran Newman will be attending the Kannapolis jam with all that great Jeff Newman steel guitar instruction material. She will be us at least all day Saturday.
Also Woody Ledford will be picking guitar with the band. You don't want to miss this picker! (Sorry I had his name wrong previously)
