And Fran said at the recent Florida Jam, “It’s not just the keyboards, it’s the friendships, the people”.

How very true. I got to meet some new people, got to see some of my old friends --- and I got to see all of Bernie’s new TOYS/equipment. OK, I’m impressed, the Bose was out of site – and his thirteen pedals, or was it eight were interesting --- and on the serious side his new Receptor and what it does opened many doors for me. A big thanks to Bernie, carrying all his equipment from his home to the Jam and back to his home had to be one large job.

A big thanks to Jimmy for setting up all the ground work from the motel to entertaining us at a country club where he works. Plus a beautiful lunch at his home. It does not get better.

I did miss the men from England, they added so much to the last jam.
