Kenny Howes...if there are Tollhouse..I think I might need to put KH in the "attending"...or maybe I should say "Yes" column since he just mentioned playing some prog drums...
Greg Ernst-Drums-might have to work part of the day, will let us know as the date gets closer

Once again; as always, if anyone has playing, singing, or spectator friends who are not forum members but would enjoy the jam...invite them !

Also, for you Facebookers, here's the link to the event page; feel free to invite other Ricknuts I haven't invited: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=110308862322947

It looks like we might have some spectator folks as well.

I might (slim chance) be able to get the guys in my group to come down and play a quick five songs, If so, don't blink or you'll miss

If there are any urgent messages you gents need to get to me up through the 3rd, PM me. I am studying for law school finals so I probably won't be on the forum, even if the site shows me as logged in (my computer logs me in automatically). I finish the night of the 3rd. Cheers guys. keep those lists and ideas coming.

Good luck with the finals Paul...

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.

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!

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!

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

Gee, Paul, you left me off the list.... I'm not attending either.

I'm not sure this can still be classified as a minicon....................mediumcon?
