I'm still trying to figure out what to play on my time slot. Can I play the one song I know for the entire time?

Charlie Tryon · Post by **Charlie Tryon** » 10 Sep 2008 4:05 am

Now Jack you know I know you know more than one song. I have seen and heard you play and it was great so just do it like always.....smooth and with feeling.

I have a list of 30 ready.
So there should be at least 4 or 5 on my list I know no one else will play. I hope.

Jack Dougherty · Post by **Jack Dougherty** » 10 Sep 2008 3:28 pm

All of you know I only play two songs....
One is The Little Brown Jug.......and the other one isn't

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 11 Sep 2008 2:14 am

Jack, you'll have to learn a Hank Williams song, it's going to be an all Hank song jam

Don Sulesky · Post by **Don Sulesky** » 11 Sep 2008 4:13 am

Oh, Oh.
I guess I'm in trouble too.
I only know 4 of them on steel.

Today, Sept 11, is our 6th Anniversary date. Sept 11, 2002 was the first club jam.

The Steelers at the first jam were: Don Sulesky, John King, Walt Dotzenrod, Lou Rochelle, Blake Hawkins and Jack Stoner.

Our backup band:
Jeff “caffeine” North on drums, Dick Langevin and Frenchie Boucher on Bass, and Blake Hawkins on rhythm guitar.

Singers: Lou Rochelle, Bernie Whittle, John Thomas and Blake Hawkins.

Walt Dotzenrod moved back to Texas, everyone else is still around.

Thank You to everyone that has supported the club, in one capacity or another. Without the great support there would not be any "6th Anniversary" Jam or even a 1st Anniversary!

JACK MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU CHOOSE TWO SONGS TO PLAY...... WHEB IT COMES YOU TURN , PLAY THE SECOND ONE FIRST AND THE FIRSTT ONE LAST SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE ROOM IN BETWEEEN FOR
FOR THE FIRST ONE...... HOPE THIS HELPS YOU...
I WOULD PLAY MY LEFT HANDED KAZOO, BUT I LOST MY CAPO FOR IT AND ALSO MY JAWS HARP... CANT FIND
THE RIGHT STICK AND RUBBER BAND TO REPLACE THEM...CAR TIRES ARE TOO BIG AND SEMI-TIRES ARE TOO SMALL...... BY THE WAY, WILL YOU AND DON BE SEVING POSSUM SANDWICHES AT THE BREAK? I'LL TRY TO TALK EARNIE INTO BRINGING SOME SWAMP WATER COOL-AID....
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE...............
THE POSSUM KING, JW;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 15 Sep 2008 1:57 am

Jennings, maybe I can get Catfish Johnny to serve up "gator and possum stew"

If I cut my "one song" short I should be able to play it in A, then B, then C, then D, then E, then F, then G. Wow! that makes 7 songs that I know how to play.

Jennings Ward · Post by **Jennings Ward** » 15 Sep 2008 4:56 pm

JACK, PLEASE DONT Bb WHEN YOU PLAY THE POSSUM ANTHEM.....
IS IT TRUE THAT DON IS GOING YO PLAY IN HIS LONG HANDLE RED JOHNS..????????

Ernie and other performers
The list at the top post is not the order of play.
We mentioned this at the last jam.
We will have a drawing of numbers for the order of play.
The list is in alphabetical order ONLY.We feel this is fair as no one will get a special slot in the playing order.
Jack and I have set a playing order in the past and some may or may not have liked it.
Next time we'll set a playing order in advance of the jam.
When you show up Saturday you and the others will draw for your playing spot.
If all aren't there at noon they'll be last on the list if the numbers have been picked.
I hope this clears it up for everyone slated to play.
If players want to switch their playing order number with someone that will be fine with us.
Thanks
Don

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 18 Sep 2008 7:14 am

As Don noted and what I said at the last jam, we will have a drawing for who picks in what order. Usually, we start at one end or the other but we thought we would do something different this time.

Also, Bernie Whittle had to cancel due to medical issues.

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 18 Sep 2008 1:13 pm

I had planned on having a couple shorter breaks but I've had several inquiries about a "lunch" break at some point. If we do that we will only have one longer break.

We also have an opening since Bernie Whittle had to cancel. Contact me if you want that slot.

Ernest Cawby · Post by **Ernest Cawby** » 18 Sep 2008 5:11 pm

I made my post only to bump it to the top, I really do not care how the order is. Carol is coming down from Montgomery alabama to be with us, 400 miles,we were renting a car but we will come with her, Crysler is still in the Hospital repairing, last time this happene we missed the only time since we started coming.

as ever

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 19 Sep 2008 2:06 am

Ernie, too bad about the Chrysler. That's been a good car for you, even with the engine problem.

Ernest Cawby · Post by **Ernest Cawby** » 19 Sep 2008 7:11 pm

Jack the car was running great we hit a big piece of metal in the road on the way to Jacksonville, had to rebuild the trandmission, replace the front end, grill. about $4,000.00 total. had insurance, they did not even come look at the car just told us to get it fixed. Been paying them for 4 cars for years without a claim. The transmission should have cost $3,000.00 to fix I had it done for $1.250.00, that impressed them we were doing the right thing.

as eve

Ernie,

It everyone were as honest as you, our insurance premiums would be much less. I admire you. You've got good character.
