I would like to thank the makers of FastStone Photo Resizer ... it took only about five minutes to resize all of those pictures!

Thanks to everyone who attended, especially John and Cindalee Hall, and Hautewerk.

Thank you as well to
Brian Fitzpatrick from the RIC forum, and there for his first miniconsjams
Bob Schneider (new member from Long Beach, "Original 360"), also there for his first miniconn/jam-thanks for rehearsing, the cheat sheets/tabs, and the wine.
Collin Whitley (for sitting in on drums) and rehearsing
Dane and Pamela Wilder for driving the long haul from Newhall! Thanks for sitting in on drums Dane, and for letting me play the 8 string.
Dan Saifer, for rehearsing bringing the wine, playing, and helping with the gear and the sound.
Gary Clauson for helping get things going, the DVD, and helping with the gear
Joey and Diane Vasco for being there, playing, and helping with the gear
Kenny Howes-for the singing, playing, drumming, conducting, energy, and humor.
Rich Ferguson-for helping keep rehearsals organized, especially with the volume of chord charts and song lists, showing up early, staying until the end, some great playing, and help with the gear!
Robert, Rich's friend, for playing lots and lots of drums, and even singing some lead vocals.
Scott and Spencer Jehlik-for all the help, playing, and showing up; wish you could have stayed longer!
Vito Francone-thanks for all the great playing, musical suggestions, and coming to his first minicon/jam-he was fun to hang out with, and really impressed folks with his playing.

Thanks as well to everyone for contributing to the room, refreshment, and pizza expenses!

I'll publish a more complete Thank You list in the morning. If I've left anyone out, I apologize; I'm tired! It was a great time for all. We covered some new ground musically, and flubbed on some new ground musically , but the song list keeps growing, and everyone's getting more comfortable playing in a jamming situation and playing off the cuff, which is really cool. We should have a formidable, extensive, jamming song list by the time the next SCARF rolls around.

The BIGGEST THANK YOU of all goes to Paul for his tireless efforts in rounding up Rickenbacker affiendos from near and far and organizing a FANTASTIC Mini Con Jam A whole lot of work went into making this 8 hour Jam session a success -- and we are all very greatful, Paul, for your leadership and hard work

You did a superb job Paul in all aspects.... great songs you led us on, great vocals and awesome guitar work.
And many thanks to John and Cyndalee Hall and Kenny and everyone at RIC for supporting today's event.

There were some great musicianship contributed by all today .... it was a pleasure to be on stage with you all
And it was nice to meet so many first-time Confluencers ... hope you all come to the next one.

So when are we having the next out of town RRF visitor, to give us a great excuse to do it again !!

Regards - Rich F.
