We were still pretty crowded but made it work. I thought it went off really well. The rest of the group seemed to enjoy it also.<br>That should wrap up the Christmas rush so maybe I can just deal with the family gatherings now.<br>Merry Christmas to you all.<br><br>Jack]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Just when things were going along pretty well...looks like I will be spending some time behind bars. :cry: <br><br>Some of the folks from our church are going to take a holiday meal to a juvenile corrections facility on Dec 4th. One of the people has a contact there and requested that we be allowed to bring in instruments. So Joe and I will be playing a short set at the dinner.  :lol:  Him on guitar and me on harps. We want to minimize they amount of time required to inspect everything.<br><br>After I get out I'll be going to the Home. My wife does art projects at a home for mentally handicapped adults and I played for their Christmas party last year. They "requested" that we come back this year on Dec 13th. There were 10 or 12 people there last year and there will be 40 or so this year. We will bring the whole band to this one. Should be a fun and busy December.<br><br>We have been checking local coffee shops for some opprotunities to do some accoustic duo stuff but haven't gotten anywhere yet. There's always next year.<br><br>Jack]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks everyone for the encouragment. I know that I have a long ways to go to be a "good" musician but I am good enough now that I feel the need to get out and let people see what I can do. I didn't and I don't think many people do, set out to be a role model but I feel that if just one person, not necessarily an amputee sees me and decides to give something new a try, well maybe it is all worth it.<br><br>Thanks again everyone.<br><br>Jack]]></content:encoded>

I have no idea how yu dodn't choke up. And good for you and congrats on yur one hour gig. Passing the hat. The ultimate in fan appreciation. They speak in the language they hete to speak in. In my younger days, I've seen people turn away from the door because they souldn't help pay for a band with smal cover or X-drink min thing.<br><br>Congrats on everything, dude!]]></content:encoded>
