Festivals, Concerts and Jam Sessions / Special Session & Guests!

« on: September 06, 2010, 07:02:30 PM »

With no music last week, and none scheduled this week, I know that you are anxiously awaiting our session on Sep 8.  I have arranged something special for this session.  Tim May and his wife Gretchen are professional musicians that live in the Nashville, TN area.  They are on their way to a concert in KS and will spend the night at our house.  How convenient!  I invite you to Google "Tim May" or "Gretchen Priest"  (www.plaidgrass.net) to review their credentials.  As an instructor at Camp Bluegrass, I have enjoyed Tim's teaching and playing for more than four years.
   Now, here's the deal.  We would like to have a "workshop/jam session" format.  My plan right now is for us to play around the circle, then to ask Tim and Gretchen to play several numbers.  I will have a better idea of the format when they arrive.  I am "suggesting" a $10/per person for this event... obviously you may donate more.  All proceeds will go to Tim and Gretchen.
   Plan on arriving 7:00 - 7:15 and we'll start playing after that.  The "quit time" is open, or until I fall asleep.  We will have ice and mix and a few light snacks, everything else is on you.  I would like to have an idea of how many people I can expect, so please RSVP. 
   See you Wednesday week, Sep 8.

Directions:  I-440 to the Lonoke (Hwy 165 exit) exit, exit 7.  Go east 5 miles to Scott, turn right (south) on Hwy 161, go two miles south to Old River Drive and make a right turn.  We are on the left, about 1/2 mile down... 14614 Old River Drive.

Plans are afoot to host Steve Smith (http://www.desertnight.com/) in a House Concert.  Plans are not final, but the date is.  We're thinking about starting around 3 or 4 p.m.   Steve will play two sets, 45-60 minutes each.  We're thinking about a $15 cover charge and BYOB.  We'll finalize everything by mid-March.  I'm trying to get a non-binding head count, so email me if you are interested.
