This Friday

Hey guys,
Greetings from Minneapolis. I get back in town tomorrow. Looking forward to practice on Friday at 5:00 at OTS of Folk on Armitage followed by Jim's 6 String Social at 6:00. During our practice, I was thinking we could run through some of the "newer" songs we practiced last Sunday: If I Fell, I'll Follow The Sun, Evangeline, Little John of God, Sail Away. Also, we should try some of the other songs we've been discussing this week through email. Lastly, just wanted to once again offer up the option of getting dinner after Jim's program concludes somewhere nearby.

Please be sure to give your feedback to the blog in terms of design, colors, pictures, etc. I like the picture of the 2 guitars and accordion so I actually put it at the top of the blog near the title.

See you on Friday!

First Post!

Dear Whipps,
Check out our blog. Right now, as you can see, it's very basic and simple at this point. I'm hoping that some of you guys might be able to add some things to it. I think when we practice next weekend at Mike's house, we should take some pictures of the group, so we can put those on the blog. Blogging is something I have some pretty limited experience with, so hopefully others in the group can build from this set up.

See you guys soon.

Thanks,
Adam
