Hey Braves,
I'm going to be in the Oakland area for a spell and would like to play with you guys out there....I'll bring my fiddles, but can't bring my accordions this time. Blair...Steve....???

See ya,
Kirk Jones

Hi Kirk!

Dana told me about this post--good thing, since I would have missed it otherwise. Haven't really been reading this board for the last year or more, caught up in various things. Some family stuff. Also working on a book I've written, finally done!)

Yes, we do have the jams. A little less regular because of Steve's work schedule this year. (Took a new job in SF, longer commute and lots of evening meetings.)

But let me know when you will be around and I'll be sure we have one then! Would be great to have you with us!

Best,

Blair

Oh, so I'll have to plan even better, the next time I want to "drop by" and catch the jam ?????

Good for Steve. Glad to know that he found something.
Jude

Hey Jude, anytime you "show up" it's already a party :-)

Planning another surprise visit....??

Well, unfortunately, this job is the "interim" (only this year guaranteed) position. Steve has to be an "applicant" for the permanant slot after this year. He'll know at the end of the month. Very stresful.....

Can't tell, it wouldn't be surprise.
Jude

Hi Blair, Steve, Mark M.and other Oakland folk
any chance we can play for a few hours on Monday night?
Got a chance to get to California and didn't want to leave without a chance to jam....got my fiddles but couldn't carry an accordion. Lot's of those floating around, I'm sure.
c-ya,
Kirk

Hi Kirk,

I responded to the e-mail you sent, but just in case you aren't checking messages on the road, I'll also post it here. Unfortunately, Monday night won't work for us. Any chance for Sunday night? Let me know--it would be great to get together! (You should have my phone number.)
