Micro mini confluence in Northern Michigan

Post by ken_j »

This past Sunday Hank Kelly (tamborineman) and his lovely wife opened their home to me for a Rick get-together. We played each others Ricks and other guitars. The 3 hours I was there flew by like it was five minutes. It was a memorable moment for me.

Hi Ken. It was my pleasure. It was a privilage to play your beautiful 63c/12er and your self-built 6 string is amazing. The jamming was great fun. We covered quite a few Beatles songs including Here Comes The Sun, You Can't Do That, In My Life and I'll Be Back Again. That 63c is awsome. Come back any time. :D

That ain't the UP! You guys don't even qualify to say "Eh!" in TC. :lol: We need to get a MI Confluence going, there are actually quite a few of us. Also, Jeffery Hoyt is up your way too. Haven't heard from him in a while though.

OK then how does the Northern LP suit you? No I don't say "Eh" but then I am from and still reside it the Detroit Metro area. I had planned on doing a Michigan confluence a couple of years ago but my work hours interfered with it. I was hoping to use the concert hall at a friend's music store ( I never asked due to my work) but the tough Michigan economy is hitting him hard and he is now having a going out of business sale. Know anyone in the market for a Steinway? He dosen't sell guitars but is great guitarist with a nice collection. I do have time now to try and put something together if there is enough interest.

I'd be up and ready for MichCon II. Maybe we could get Jeff R to come back for it too. I can think of 10 forumites in the state just off the top of my head.
