Aug 22, 2008 8:08 a.m. Danman:

Great Will and anyone else who will try!
Let us know, but don't worry if you are insecure about it: I would always do worse.

BTW: if you want to sing during my solo's go ahead. I have a bassman, I can always still turn it louder.

Just curious:
Will: Did you listen to the songs? Will you do more singing?

Ratrod: How's the situation with the drummer?

Hope will will sing.

Hope we get a drummer.

And now for some good news: My Jet will at the Roundup be equipped with a TRU-ARC AL-120.

Great, looking forward to seeing it. Mine is equipped with a very old bar bridge.
Wanted to actually put a bigsby on it before then but might not get around to doing that. You will have to settle for the G tailpiece.

Aug 29, 2008 2:33 a.m. Danman:

Hi Will,
I think we are six: Dr.Nyl, Sjolte, Will, Ratrod, Rocketman and me.
Or am I missing someone?

Good luck practicing the songs and from now on (just to be sure) wear a scarf, drink only tea and honey and go to bed on time.

Aug 29, 2008 3:22 a.m. Dr Nyl:

Danman is correct, we are the 6 GDPers mentioned above and Ratrods bass player + hopefully a drummer.

If we dont get good news from Ratrod i seriously think someone should bring a Drum Machine, just to have some kind of tapping.

Please e-mail me or PM from here with your cellphone nrs and i will see so that we all get each others nrs.

We will keep in touch for transportation etc. during next week.
