Re: Picks Around the World
Whooohoooo!! I spent most of the weekend at the Shakori Hills Music Festival, near Pittsboro, NC! There was some really awesome music everywhere. My favorites were Sol Creech, Holy Ghost Tent Revival, Mandolin Orange, Possum Jenkins, Big Ron Hunter, blah, blah, and about 15 jam sessions. I played at another festival yesterday and had a really great time.
But guess what was in the mail when I got home. Huh? Can you guess? A package all the way from Nova Scotia! The World Famous "PICKS AROUND THE WORLD" package. All kinds of interesting stuff inside. I spent several minutes examining every item. Reading every business card and flyer. There was a wedgie pick that has found a home with me and also some of the "safety-walk" paper.
I've added a few items and am ready to send them on their way to the next lucky player on, "PICKS AROUND THE WORLD!"
Peace, ya'all

Re: Picks Around the World
Glad to hear that the picks are still making their trek. I put the tread tape in there. Hope it comes in handy for you. I use it on my picks to keep them from slipping out of my hand. I put the thick rubber wedgies in there too. Don't know if that's what you took, but cool!!! Someone else's junk is another mans treasure.
Keep the picks moving!!!!!!!
Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Picks Around the World
Well, I saw the Dutch Mason flyer, but the Neil Young ticket didn't travel very far. It certainly didn't make it here.
Anyway,.....I have a lucky contestant, as soon as I get a mailing address, this neat little package will be on it's way. This was fun!
Peace,

Edit: There are still 3, (actually 4) continents that haven't been reached yet. I'm sure there is a Post Office in Antarctica?

Re: Picks Around the World
Spareparts must have nabbed the Neil Young ticket, it was from last april when he played the Metro Center in Halifax, N.S. The Dutch Mason Blues Fest is always a great time. Would be cool to keep picks travellin the globe.
take care.. badeye

Re: Picks Around the World
Glad to see this project still on the move and a great big THANKS to Amy for keeping the map updated. I have the total mileage on my home computer - I'll post the new totals when I get home this weekend.

I vacationed in Banner Elk, NC once. Great place. Also, back in my college days I helped to found a fraternity chapter at my school. Our sponsoring chapter was at Appalachian State, so those were some fun visits too.

Re: Picks Around the World
Okay, NC to LA. Should have been there by now. I'm sure several people are anxiously waiting. I really thought about forwarding this package through the Post Master General at whatever FPO, APO or Post Office was on Antarctica, just to have a little fun. Bag another continent, ya know. Maybe with the consent of the next person in line, that might not be a bad idea, huh?
Peace, you phreaks!

Re: Picks Around the World
Well, as ya'll can guess I have possession of the picks - for the 2nd time. As of this morning I have recieved an e-mail from the next person to have the picks sent to them. I will try my best to get them out in the mail next week, although I received them at my home I will be mailing them 300 miles away from New Orleans, La. as that is where I am now working.

Re: Picks Around the World
Just to update everyone, I will be giving the picks a send-off later this week. I am planning on adding something special for the next LUCKY person and maybe this will continue. As a hint I will say that the package will be going back across a whole lotta water.

Re: Picks Around the World
This morning I came into possession of a large post bag with a heap of interesting picks and other stuff in it from NELA. I have had a quick look inside but have not made any decision on what to keep and what to include for the next recipient, but will do so over the weekend.
As usual, the first person to e-mail me will be the next lucky one to receive the package.
All the best

Re: Picks Around the World
We have a winner. I received an e-mail yesterday so the picks and some other interesting stuff will be posted off in the next day or so, once again on a long voyage.
As seems to be the custom, I have kept a few picks and added some, and other things I hope some one will like.

bushy243, have you tried any of those songs, yet?

Re: Picks Around the World
Nela, hello again and thanks for the CD and music in the "picks" package. I knew 4 or 5 of the songs already, however I have to thank you for introducing me to the Mavericks and in particular "There goes my heart". I could not stop on this song until I had it nailed. I wish I could sing like him, awesome voice.
All the best and thanks again
Cheers
