A tornado hit the town of Waskom, TX, just a few miles East of Shreveport about 8 p.m. There was a lot of destruction of homes and property, but somehow no one was killed.
They are clearing roads now, so there should be no problem getting to the Jam.
Today it is sunny and warm!

It was great to see Gary and Carol again. Gary was kind enough to "help me make it through the night". He adjusted to the Audya pretty quickly. Said it was almost as good as the PSR 3000! That's pretty high praise coming from him!
It's gonna be a great weekend.

Any pics from last night???

I REALLY envy you guys .. but it's an unfortunate twist of fate that something else had to be scheduled for this weekend ...

I know I don't have to say this, but "HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND" ...

Take lots of pics and we will be waiting for 'you tube' videos ...

Sounds awesome. I'm gonna have to miss this weekend due to my being in the hospital over the holidays. I missed quite a bit of church and I have a lot of travel planned for the summer. Take lots of pics!

The Audya is an incredible keyboard, especially in the hands of someone as masterful as DonM. It sounds great, even to my aging ears.

Carol is taking lots of photos and when I get home I'll post some.

Joe, we'll miss you down here in the sunny south. When the weather gets warmer back home I'll take you sailing.

Yes, get plenty of photos and DonM I hope Joe Lee plans on doing video of this year's jam. I bought the last 2 years DVDs, if you can't be there, the video does a great job of getting a taste of what the jam is like.

Joe will be making another video. We're going to be certain everyone has ample opportunity to perform solo, so that we can better hear what each of the various keyboards and players are doing.
In the past we had a lot of outsiders wanting to dance and make requests, but this year we will concentrate more on exchanging ideas, asking and answering questions, and learning from one another.
Later on in the evening we can "jam" together as we wish.

Wish I could be there. While Gary was here he set up his Compact L1 in my living room and it sounded great. We then went to the VFW I was playing that night to try it out in the big room....but there was a memorial going on.

I still want to hear what the "mini-bose" can do in a larger venue. I'm guessing you guys are not going to be using it at Ernest's...but if you do...let us know.

Eddie, yes we are. I use two of them every night at Ernest's. We may use just those two, or up to four Sunday, depending on how many show up.
I have not tried the Compacts on really big venues, but I did play a party of about 200 with one of them, with no problems and plenty of headroom left over.
