Spence, question is do we get a discount?

[echospence]

The answer to your question Malcolm is yes if you play at the show.
You have to work for the discount.

Will negotiate at Dallas if I can make it.

Great playing, not only by Mr Gamble, but also by the other not so tall guys, Mr Thurlby and Mr Scott. You are all my heroes. I guess I'll just have to face the fact and realize that there is not much hope for a six-foot-four guy like me.

[Malcolm]

Peter you did well, nice playing my friend.Malcolm.

I haven’t disappeared guys I’ve just been a tad busy, I’ll have video up shortly, I try to get one number from each player up and I’m half way through the line up, it takes quite a time to do.

As far as the weekend is concerned it was the best so far without doubt, apart from the ‘new stars’ a large contributing factor was ‘JD’ His playing we all knew would be awesome and he didn’t disappoint, but his personality and willingness to spend time with everybody who approached him was outstanding, not a characteristic that all headliners share! For me it spoke volumes and was instrumental in making the weekend the best family atmosphere we’ve ever had.

The jam sessions were also the best so far as Pat & Toni kept it moving and we didn’t have superstars hogging the main light!.... Brendan played a blinder in keeping it all together, both during the day and in the evening.

For the band, what can you say they are always fantastic, they just keep getting better.

As for ‘The Gamble’ well, that was that the toilets would be jammed but instead it was the phone lines that were jammed! Yet again the flag was flown and may the wind aye be in it! Well done the ‘wee man’

Superb work by the committee and ‘all involved’ My Goodness how things have moved on since the Europa days!

Great weekend! B

Hmm Peter, 6' 4" that's the height I would like to be when I grow up, great meeting with you and your beautiful partner again this year.
Hopefully we will do it all again next year my friend.
