Jeff:
We managed to the buses unloaded and put back in the barn, then
crashed. I don't think we sat down once all weekend. What a great
time, though!
You forgot to mention that Saturday late night jam with you laying
down some cool bass with Stan and Cecil's guitars. Was a
coincidence we were right next to the home brew taps and the Kirt's
Gyros cooker!? Dave and Ang's Pancake Breakfast was a great way to
start Sunday morming, too.
My thanks, too to all that attended and all that helped out. It
amazing to see it come together every Spring!
I'll post my pictures on Picasa to share with the group.
