Ken, we're sure gonna miss you too, I believe other than Zurf and Southpaw, you have made the most chordiestocks. At least we will have some Dirty Ed tunes to listen to - thanks for that, I am sure we will be playing and singing along with your music! Hope the knee is healing well and we look forward to having you back next year!
I think most folks I know here are on facebook and have seen the photos from the weekend, but is a sample for those who are not (Dirty Ed 
). I am happy to say that CSV was a success - the level and quantity of talent that gathered on Saturday was AMAZING!
I'm not on facebook either. Thanks for the pics - looks like a blast.
Love to hear some tunes coming out of that band !
How many of those in the pic are chordians ?
The one picture reminds me of Abby Road album cover
On Saturday evening, the talent level kept going up. I tapped out on the first round of it stepping up, then a couple of the guys who I wanted to hear rather than play after ("Follow THAT!") tapped out, and again until it was Rick Hatfield (not on Chordie, but a truly astoundingly good musician), Gary Owens (an old friend of mine), Steve Hochberg (an astounding bassist from Topdown's neck of the woods), Topdawgz, and two drummers Cowboy Keith (a childhood friend of Topdown's) and Ed Burrows (local to Jeff's place in Florida). These guys played for an hour or so doing some work that would have entertained anyone of any caliber, and then it came back down as they realized they chased some folks off and felt badly about it. Believe me, it was a boon to my ego to play my song about cleaning urine out of carpets to get a laugh and "That's a fun song," from the likes of them.
This was kind of a highlight for me. Southpaw's eldest boy hung out on "the kit" with Garuchi (my friend Gary Owens, who has toured and played stadiums and is a real-deal electric guitarist) and Steve Hochberg (who is a gigging bassist in the Tampa area). 10 years old, and he hung in there doing a great job. Then the next night ... this ... (the adult guitarist is Southpaw, by the way).
Southpaw is raising his boy right.
Southpaw was also kind enough to share the stage with me and Topdown. That's Ed Burrows on djembe.

Topdown
The featured artist between the two of us was whoever built that fan-freaking-tastic Gibson J45 of Topdown's.
Looks like another great event. Sorry to have missed it!
Thanks for posting the pics Jeff. Looks like I missed a good'un.

Jeff, get Casey to post that vid of the jam in here for you. that good one he put on FB. He may have to upload to YouTube and link it here, (it might even correct it to not be sideways)
Do we have an '18 date set?
Joe - The March event is always the weekend after daylight savings time starts - that seems to work out good and gives any tourists an hour extra of daylight to enjoy our beaches. Daylight savings starts on Sunday 3/11, so Chordiestock VI will take place from 3/15 - 3/19. The main event is Saturday, 3/17, but it truly is a 4 day party. Hope you can join us! All chordians are welcome!
CS 5.5 is taking place on 9/23/17 - all chordians are welcome then as well. It will be somewhat scaled back from the March party, but I can assure you it will still be a hell of a good time! (ask anybody who has been to one)
