I think I shall try to make it if I'm not driving. Odd that I've not heard from Colm about it.
And thank you, Jack!

Congratulations Lane to you and the bride. Will you be playing your own wedding? It is just an idea.

Paul, we'll have a prearranged playlist for about 45 minutes of the reception (as well as prelude, processional and recessional).
Playlist is here, and thanks to David Hartley for emailing me an MP3 file of "Make You Feel My Love":
http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopi ... 2&start=25

Then, after The Book Of Love¹, my father, brother and I will pick for about 45 minutes to an hour. One of my friends is loaning me a Kay upright for dad² to play

¹ The Magnetic Fields song has nothing to do with the Doo-Wop song: the music is full of obscure stuff.

²those who've read most of my posts know that my dad is the guy who played bass for the "classic" lineups of both the Country Gentlemen and Seldom Scene. All family gatherings turn into jam sessions.

Well, here it is Sunday, the day after. . . and still no sign of Lane. I wonder if we'll ever hear from him again.

Yes we will; but not too soon! Otherwise I believe his new bride has threatened to take his guitar to "Lonesome Lenny" for his modification for "tone and playability"…
