Hello everyone,
I'm new here, but I live east of LA, not quite to Riverside.
I've been reading and I see a lot of people from california here. Are there meetups/conventions I don't know about out here?
I just moved here from Texas. |

We don’t really have any conventions or jams out here these days. We used to have a jam every now & then, but not any more. Usually we end up congregating at Jim Palenscar’s shop in Oceanside, and that’s usually on a whenever, informal type of thing, and we bascially just make a day out of it. If you haven’t been down there yet, you should go…
I’ll drop you a line next time we all go down there
Jay Dee and I play fairly regularly in Burbank, lately on Tuesday nights, but that might be a schlep for you. |

Ok, let me restate.
Y'all want to jam at my place, then?
Burbank on Tuesdays might work for me to come out. Please send me the details. |

Steven, we play at the Burbank VFW every now & then on Tuesday nights...next one is on 12/11.
It's isn't a jam, we play with Cody Bryant there...Jay Dee on steel & myself on keys.
Just your basic Tuesday night gig...you're welcome to swing by & say hi. It's a fun gig musically, and it's always a treat to hear Jay Dee in that setting. |

Donald, it's well worth your time to get to Burbank to hear some inspiring playing by Jay Dee.
Skip is right about the "club meetings" at Jim Palenscar's Oceanside store, that's a groovy hang.
Blackie Taylor is a player/teacher with a small steel store right there in Riverside. Not quite the fun hang with a bunch of LA's best players like Jim's place, but Blackie is a legend in SoCal. He was my first teacher in the mid-70s. Jim's, too.
Also, do get to Phoenix for their January show, ton of fun and great playing, good seminars, too.
Steven Paris, did you ever finish cobbling together that Emmons???

Hey there, Professor McTwang!! I don't know about 'cobbling', but I did have Clem Schmitz add three knee levers and set her up; then I replaced the wobbly non-adjustable legs with a full set of (heavy) pro legs from a '66 Emmons; and I am about to add a 'Black Rock' type neck courtesy of my good friend and mentor Jack Hanson. My little brown GS-10 sounds fantastic to my ears!! I am still struggling along, trying to learn how to play and making slow progress. I am really looking forward to hearing JayDee play at the VFW next week---he's my favorite player!
