John Lee Walker Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Other than the Bozeman thing, have y'all held any get-togethers on your own? Like a weekend getaway at some resort hotel with a conference room set up for jam sessions? If not, would anyone here be interested in getting something like that going? Just a thought. ...any idears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefleppard Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 nice idea, jlw. i've been trying to organize such a junket to nashville with my songwriting friends here. i think a bunch of us in nashville doing the open mic circuit might be a riot. i dont drink anymore so i'd gladly drive the bus!

guitarstrummer Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 It's a nice idea, but the problem you'll probably have is that it's fairly pricey to line up a conference room at a hotel. Maybe with the economy as it is now, it might be a little bit easier. Also, most hotels are booked well in advance. We book the Gran Tree in Bozeman a year in advance, just to get the time we want. And even then, we sometimes have to settle for our second choice. They also usually want to know how many will be attending, well in advance and require a deposit. The economy really makes a hit there too, as several usually cancel at the last minute when they find out they can't afford to go at the last minute. Depending on your contract with the hotel, you may be stuck with the extra costs. The ideal situation would be to find someone with connections to a facility that would be willing to work with you.

TheLiveSoundGuy Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well John Lee on your next leg through Fort Worth, stop by the house. I'd love a chance to play with you a bit. Hell, I've been playing by myself for nearly 45 years now. I'm starting to get lonely. Who knows, maybe one day you'll need a backline flat top player. I'm yer boy!
