Good luck with your finals, Paulie, I know you'll do well!.

I have an idea...why don't you set your computer to NOT automatically log you into everything after it boots up?!

Good luck on the finals, Paulie !!

Nice to see several of the new guys

joining in for the Mini Con !! A warm welcome to you guys !!

With this many jammers and family and friends ... probably would be a good idea to bring a few folding chairs or some patio chairs.

Update. Good news is Progknowsys got some gigs coming up. Bad news is, we're rehearsing on the 8th. I'll be across the street and I'll see if we can drop by for a bit.

melibreits · Post by **melibreits** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:33 pm

Happy news.... Marc and I are going to be able to make it to this!

Time to brush up on some Beatles, and some of those other cover tunes!

rickenbrother · Post by **rickenbrother** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 3:55 pm

That's great Melibee. Will be nice to see you guys again!

Uppa, uppa, uppadated, U P D A T E ! ! !

Okay, this is big news, so I had to post! The Breitsprechers are coming to town and attending the Minicon!!!

Mel and Marc; if you two want to post some of your chord charts and maybe some audio samples here on the RRF, or as a music file to some of us, we could probably learn a couple of your numbers for the jam. We learned Darren's "Sink or Swim" for the Trottycon and SCARF.

Thanks, Paul! If anyone is up to the challenge of learning some new tunes, here's a link to my MySpace site:

http://www.myspace.com/melibeedreams

Check out these songs: "The Song of My Dreams" (I recorded this one with some help from Florida forum buddy Steve Carsello, who played a mean 330 and 4001 bass; the acoustic is me on my Comstock)
"A Thousand Miles Away" (I'm doing some California dreamin', on Ric 12-string)
"Dreamer's Eyes" (ethereal Ric 12-string song)
"You Alone" (I used my 615 and Ric bass--some of you might recognize this song from RRF CD2)

If anyone has a copy of RRF CD1 listen to "Can't Let Go." That's the song that Aitch and I wrote together to commemorate the RIC 75th festivities.

If any of this sounds interesting to anyone, I can either print up some chord sheets to take to the jam, or can email them to interested parties. Meanwhile, I'm going to see if I can brush up on my Beatles, and perhaps a few of the other tunes in the list of suggestions!

melibreits · Post by **melibreits** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:30 pm

BTW, Marc is just attending as a spectator--he is NOT a musician.... He wanted me to make that clear to everyone, LOL!

He does have a love of the Rickensound, though. Especially the basses.

Melibee
PM sent for some chords/lyrics
