Unfortunately, Carol and I are headed back to the People's Republic of Maryland. It has been a long trip, and after nearly three weeks on the road it will be nice to spend a night in my own bed.

The jam went well, everyone learned a lot from each other, Don and Susan are wonderful hosts and if I had half the talent of anyone there I would be in hog heaven.

The highlight of the evening was provided by Mario, an accordian player that recently began playing keyboard. His fingers are magical,flying over the keys with incredible accuracy. He can do things with a keyboard that most people only dream of.

Tonight, I'm in a Holiday Inn about 45 miles west of Atlanta. With luck I'll make it home by late tomorrow. Next week it's back to work, hopefully providing folks with some newly acquired skills that I learned in Shreveport.

Cheers,

Gary
