When: 1:00 PM Sunday 1 November 2009
Where: Milkboy Coffee, 2 E. Lancaster Ave, Ardmore, PA 19003
Phone: 610-645-5269 - call for directions

Please note: Special guests will include Bill Brandon, a really terrific fingerpicker from Morristown NJ, and the great luthier Lubos Naprstek with some of his custom guitars. In addition, Noel Wollman from the NJ cable TV show "Straight Ahead Guitar" would like to possibly interview us and videotape a song or two.

Please join us at Milkboy Coffee, on the corner of Lancaster Ave and Cricket Ave. in Ardmore, PA for a friendly afternoon session of pickin', swapping tunes, and sharing information.

We'll play all our favorites and probably some of your favorites too. We might even do a request if it's a good one. Feel free to bring a guitar (and small amp) and join in, or just enjoy the music and Milkboy's great selection of coffees and treats. If you hear something that catches your interest, just ask and whoever was responsible to explain or show you how it was done.

Remember — listeners are more than welcome as well! Who knows what you might hear! Occasionally we have visiting fiddle or bass players — one time we had a very good saw player! But mostly it's a chance to share that great guitar sound of tunes by Chet & Tommy, jazz tunes, old swing tunes, blues tunes, and anything else that comes to mind.

Come on out and try some of the many treats that Milkboy offers. They always have an excellent selection of coffees plus healthy baked items and sandwiches. ...And by the way, they sometimes are kind enough to offer free food to the musicians ...Please turn them down — we can pay our way and show our support!

• Tommy Emmanuel - Tangerine Sky Project – Message from Gina dated 9 April 2009: “Tommy has played on this recording project to benefit the victims of the Australian Bushfires a few months ago. The video clip link is below. Please embed on your Facebook pages and any sites you are members of so that the word gets out about the single, which goes on sale in Australia on April 23rd. I'm going to be writing to Rusty, the producer, about buying some stock for the USA so that I can sell it on the website. I'll let you know when I get it. The track features the top stars of Australian country music. Enjoy. Regards, Gina”
