Boy , I'm getting as giddy as a schoolgirl on her first date. Cant wait to see everyone and do some picken. Shoot, I'd even put on some new strings but they have only been on the guitar for two or three years and I havent got all the good out of them yet. Lord willing I'll see you Sunday.

Sandra and I are planning to be there. I can't let Denny Sarver have all the fun..............

Hap I just heard from Ron Whitworth and got him some directions to the driveway.
I wouldn't want you and Ron to be late and force me to eat both of your portions of that good ole pot-luck grub.

Sure wish I could be there and enjoy all you GOOD steelers playin' $:\$

If anyone gets to town early, my band...The "Weezul Brothers Band" will be playin' Friday and Saturday nights at the "Fishin Hole", on Main St. (Just east of Power RD. from 6 to 10.)
Not country..... but some good ol' Rock & roll.

Folks were down to only a day away from the picken party.
If there is anyone besides my friend Arlene that needs me to bring them "Strings, Accessories", or anything else from my steel guitar house of goodies, let me know by email or phone so I can accommodate you.
See you all Sunday.

Ray, Dig me another C6th lick to learn.I know you have them hid away.

Joe Naylor · Post by **Joe Naylor** » 20 Oct 2008 9:30 am

What a group ----- there was no room left to have another steel set-up the carport was completely full. Ray needs to make it at least twice as wide. I have no idea how many people were there but it was a bunch.

Great to see everyone.

Joe We all had a blast. As usual Ole Fred tore it up with his picken as did Jonathan Candler. The rest of us mostly just watched. Oh well, we all tried and had a good time doing it. It was worth the drive from Yuma. ( 200 + each way.) I expect to see all of you down at the Yuma jan in Jan. What days are the Phoenix show Joe ,so I can get the building reserved?

Fred Justice · Post by **Fred Justice** » 20 Oct 2008 2:00 pm

I sure had a great time yesterday, lots of fun.
Thanks Ray and Dixie for all the hard work of putting on the "Carport Pickers Jam"

Good to see you Hap - the show is January 22,23 and 24 at the same hotel as last year the Grace Inn in Tempe (I-10 and Elliott Road) I am going to post it on the forum too.

Sandra and I just got home from our weekend away and had a great time.
Ray and Dixie put on a great time for all of us and it was a ball.
Thanks to Denny Sarver for allowing me some time to practice my bass licks.
All the guys and gals played some good licks.
Thanks for asking me to join in.
Take care, Ray

Hi All,
I had a great time at my first AZ Carport Pickers Association meeting. It was good to hear & see everyone.

When is the Nov jam at the college? I'll try to bring my U-12 to that.

Ray and Dixie,

Thanks so much for having us out there. I got some decent footage and some good audio of the jam.

I posted this spectacular performance of City Lights by Fred Justice with his expressed permission. Lots of other little gems in there as well.

I want too thank all the ladies that helped Dixie with the food and cleanup.I was going to do it but the sweet ladies insisted that I set up my guitar and go play with the pickers.She still has a hard time getting around after her stroke but with all the team work they "GOT ER DUNNNNN"
Thanks to all the Yuma bunch for breaking out of the Yuma Prison and coming down,Hap Young,Ron Wintworth,Randy and Jonathan Candler and Don who played some great drums along with Ron Corbin.Thanks Denny Sarver,Gerald Daniels Sam Marshal(Desigener of the Fender Steel King Amp),Hollis Pritichett,Arlene Seydel,Mat Prouty,Tom Mossberg and wife for the great vocals,Joe Naylorand the other guy,whats his name---Fred Justice.
Thanks too the "OLD CROONER" Ray Harrison,he had all the women hanging on him I thought,found out later he had little wires with clips on them and would hook to the girls when they weren't looking.
Thanks again too all.
Ray and Dixie

Matthew, thanks for posting the great youtube video! Fred, you sounded great, but you looked even better. Wish I could've been there, but my mother was in the hospital gettin' a pace maker installed. (She's doing well.) No kiddin' Fred, you look great in that video, you musta lost 50 lbs since the time I saw you. Rick
