My
internet friend and on-line scrabble buddy, Theresa, who also plays guitar
and lives in the same area as me, hooked me up with some of her friends
who play guitar, back in January, '99. Our first Jam session was
at Poor 'Ol Doris's house and I was invited out to Hippie's house after
that. I met the neighbors, Big Nabe,
Speedy Nabe, and Cowboy. Come to think of it, I just met Theresa that night
also.
This is Cowboy,
Debbie and Big Nabe (L-R)
Hippie
Hippie, Debbie and
Poor 'Ol Doris, had been jamming weekly for a quite some time, in Hippie's
Kitchen. Anyway, they invited me back and we just kept on jamming and things
were sounding pretty good, so Cowboy there decides to be our manager
and only take 20% (of nothing) for his trouble (no trouble).
Time went on and I dragged my buddy David over who I had just started jamming
with and we finally got his friend Randy, who plays dobro, to join us periodically.
Some others have joined us too, let's see...Hippie's Daughter "Sissy" and
my sister Debbie, then there was Gabe and his friend Dustin and another
fella, I can't remember his name, but he played a killer harmonica and
dobro and mandolin. The jam sessions are pretty open, as Hippie's philosophy
is "The more the merrier!" We recently played at Hippie's annual
hog roast, and as expected, it was a blast!
