Who's to say? But we had a big crowd, no Ralph, no Doug. The dynamic was different, but the jam rolled on same as ever. PJ and Chris split the bass duties. PJ, skillfully, and Chris non-disastrously.
Had some visitors from Sweden, but alas, we didn't have Ralph's book. Martin and Ida, hope you had a good time!
So we had no fiddler, and that was a shame, but we did have some new pickers. PJ's pal brought in "My Love Will Not Change" from the Del McCoury Band.
John Madis is proposing a big bus or van trip to IBMA next fall. I'm on board with the idea (unless of course, I go broke between now and then, which is always a possibility...). Who's with us?
For those of you looking for a happy anniversary, it was one year ago today that the Java Brothers played at WUVT in Blacksburg. Also without Ralph...coincidence???

Fiddle, who needs a fiddle! We did miss ya, Ralphie. How was Steve Earle? Almost blasphamy to miss the jam for Steve Earle!!
Chris, I thought you did a more than credible job on the bass. We even tried to throw a couple of weird chord progressions on ya, and you still came through! In a few more weeks, we might have dueling basses going on.
Steve Earle was outstanding. Lessened the pain of missing the jam.
You shoulda gotten the Swedes to sign a napkin!
OK, back again next week. Should be warm enough by then to have multiple sessions rolling.
Did he play Ben McCollogh (sp) ?
How about Dixieland?
No and no.
I don't have the new album, though, so if they're on there I don't know 'em.
