Fred, thanks for the kind words, you ole "snowbird". You are quite a picker yourself, and I like it because you do some songs that others don't do. Keep it up!
Jim, borrow enough for a bus ticket (can't be much) and come on down. Why lay around on your @@@ &&& while we have all the fun?.. HEH!! HEH!!

I can't make it as I'll be picking in Floral City that night.
At least the FSG Club will be well represented by several of our super pickers,
Jack Daugherty, Fred "Tommy" Thompson, John King, Ollie Strong and others from around the state.
