Skype Virtual Jam this week?

Wish I could.  I will be somewhere around the Great Valley of Virginia on my way to the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania at that time. 

- Zurf

I'm gonna make that one. Thank you MKM.

Should be able to make it for an hour or two, I think! We change our clocks to BST on Sunday (just BTW). Look forward to hearing that new guitar, Amy!

Cool!  I'll see ya'll then.... except Zurf.  We'll miss you.  Have safe travels!!!!

  I'm in love with it Wayne!  I didn't get it until yesterday however, and haven't yet had a lot of time to play it.  Wed night I sent my husband to check on his mother instead of getting the guitar.  Turns out it was a good choice as she was in the midst of having a mild stroke.  My SON was the one that alerted us all to her seemingly odd behavior and looks.  He is a hero at ALMOST 16!  I'm so proud of him!  Anyhow, I have been a bit busy going back and forth to the hospital to check on her.  I am sooooo looking forward to a little down time with everyone and my guitar this evening!!!!!!!!!!

Alex is a Great Young Man, I would be so proud if he were my son. I was also going to mention to you what a good sport he is , joining in and participating with the Skype Jam . He is gonna take off and be playing lead with some friends in a Garage band before long

Nice Guitar, I am Happy for You !

I hope everything turns out well for your mother in law, Amy.  Hey, great kid you got there.  Good to have around.

Many apologies for jumping in and out like a yo-yo last night. I have been having problems since my laptop crashed last weekend and I had to use the hidden partition to put it back to it's original state in 2007. Downloading the updates especially SP1 & SP2 was a nightmare and I even received text messages from Vodafone about my excessive downloads. I am not sure whether it is Skype, my laptop or Vodafone causing the problems, I need to do some more work to find out.

Sorry,

Roger

I'm sorry to hear about the troubles Roger, but I am glad you were able to make it for a bit.  Paul, we'll have to figure out your camera issue as well.  Perhaps try skyping one on one with someone and see if it works then.  I wonder if it's the group chat itself (although I doubt it since Roger is in a filed using an air card.  Your connection MUST be better than his). 

As always, I thank you for the compliments... I just hope to get better with the guitar so it's not just my voice.    Joe gave Alex (mekidsmom_son) a couple pointers, if he follows them, he's going to be surpassing me realllll soon with his playing!  In some ways, he already does.  (what's a scale?  LOL).

It was a NICE evening and I needed it after the very long day (and last few days) I had worrying about my mother in law.  Toots always has the best funny songs, although Joe got pretty close with his green dog... I think.    The hubster was doing a tattoo but insisted I stay in the room so he could hear everyone and took some breaks while I was playing.  Jeff ended up joining Joe and I after I mowed down my pizza ON camera.

By the way, my Mother In Law is now home from the hospital.  We're all a bit shook up and it seems the stroke was worse than originally thought, but without a regular doctor to oversee her, the hospital doctors just seemed interested in making room for another patient.  We're all hoping we can talk her into going to the specialists in Syracuse instead of Utica, but I'm not sure how that's going to go.  She seems quite scared of "the big city".  I'll be pretty busy checking in on her as I'm the one home during the days... but she's only a mile up the road.  So, keep her in your thoughts for a full recovery and no other issues.  I'm not quite ready to take over any family matriarch roles just yet.  This is one strong woman that needs to get back to who she is!!

Toots, I was looking forward to the Jam long before my MIL actually went into the hospital - it was ONE relief of my day.  I'm just sorry I was a little late getting home.  Frankly, if I hadn't stopped for WINE on my way I probably would have gotten to the Jam on time.  But I NEEDED it!  Thanks to all of you for being patient with me! 

You know, I can take screen shots, so there MUST be a way to take video screen shots.  I'm going to check into that today and see what I can find out for the next time!!!

I have a skype plugin that records...I can record the next one Im on if everyone consents. For my part I'd not do any new songs, only the stuff I have worked on for a while.

That was a great time - thanks for hosting Amy!
