Bachus, I'll have the boat in the water by April 15th, so the pond is not a big issue, except I'm not sure if I could make the passage both ways and be home in time for the festivities. At ideal speeds, with excellent weather conditions, it would still take me at least two months to make it to your part of the world, then another two months to get back home. Then I would need another couple months to get you home again and make it back here before Christmas. I knew I shoulda bought a plane.

Lloyd, sad to hear you won't be able to make it, but I'll be sure to take lots of videos and post them so you can at least be here in spirit and enjoy the festivities via YouTube.

Things are shaping up nicely and I sincerely believe we will have another great Synthzone Jam. I am also hoping to see Joe Ayala's wife in attendance. Homeretta is a wonderful, brave lady and was married to the best of the best. Sure do miss my good friend, Joe.

Maybe Bill from New Jersey and his lovely wife can slide up from South Carolina, where they now live. C'mon Bill, you can take a couple days off from the weekend gigs.

All the best,

Gary
