It's been pretty warm here in NY, although not terribly more than usual.  The bad thing though is that it's also been aweful humid.  More than humid actually... the areas around me are considered disaster areas as many of them have flooded.  We're talking about shopping areas with water up to the tops of cars and such.  Serious flooding.  Bridges are looking like landslides and roads are completely washed out.  We've got a few hundred people that are still displaced from their homes since last Friday, and it's still raining.  My backyard has been quite wet but thankfully I live on a bit of a hill and most of the rain has been east of here.   

The kids are bummed it's been too rainy to go to the beach, but thank goodness for AC!

Chop chop chop, BOINGGGG!!!!  Is it the same string every time Zurf?  Maybe you can just buy that one string in bulk and keep on chopping! 

Happy Father's Day all you DADS!  My own Dad is the one that got me to love a guitar in the first place, and has encouraged me to continue with it.

Well, if you can't make it in July... think about coming through on your way back south after your Finger Lakes tour if it's not too far out of your way.    We'd love to see you again and meet the family (wait, are you taking the kids to the Finger Lakes?  Around here, people rent limos and go for a day trip without kids).  I completely understand and agree wholeheartedly about the kids and such.  BTW - Bully Hill has a new sweet champagne that's only available at the winery.  Have FUN!

Just bumping this back up as a reminder to those that MIGHT still be thinking about coming. 

It sounds at the moment as if Jeff's the only one and that means he is going to have a HECK of a good time hanging with my family and eating tons of Dead Cow and that Venison backstrap I saved from the fall.  I have a friend planning on coming from NYC as well (she plays the Uke and Harp).  Of course, my family isn't huge but it isn't tiny either... and some nearby friends may stop as well.  Seriously, if you can make it our way, it will be a nice relaxing and yet fun backyard get together!

Link please?

MeKidsGrandpa says he WILL BE THERE as well!  A little history on my dad... He still has his first guitar.  He took lessons when he was a teenager and has been strumming ever since.  He can read music, and he'll often pick out the notes just to get the feel for a song before he starts playing.  Despite all this, he's "only a strummer" however he'll come up with the coolest patterns you've ever heard.  He can play quite a bit by ear as well.  He knows a zillion folk songs, and hundreds of other more popular songs from the 50's thru the 80's.  He underwent chemo recently (beat the cancer) and has some serious nerve damage, but he's excited about the idea of guitar people getting together and is going to TRY to get his fretting hand in order.  HE is the reason I play guitar; HE is the reason I sing.  He taught me the love of music and the ability to sing does run in the family.  I remember singing along with him to Wildfire when I was about five. 

If he can manage to play, even a little... everyone is in for a treat.  He's got quite a "stage presence"!  JEFF... you're gonna LOVE my Dad (if we can get Katie away from you long enough for you to enjoy yourself!  ha ha!)

Thoughts are going out for ya Nela!  Here's hoping the surgery will get you on the right track!!!

Aaaahhh!  Yeah, that's a bit much Paul!  2014 will likely be mid July if that makes any difference.  Let me know how far in advance you need to plan on tickets to get a good rate and I'll make a date!

Dino. 

Making it at my house so mekidsgrandpa has no excuse not to is part of my evil plan   No doubts that both Steph and Katiebug will be singing and dancing up a storm!
