Yeah,,, I'd say it was a pretty reasonable success!
Yesterday was a FREAKIN ball... I think the best way for you to read a recap of the event is by going to the Slipper Blog at
http://www.theslipperrest.com/.....pper-blog/
That way I only have to write this once!
It seriously was such an incredible experience; I can't wait for Diane and Ted to put together the videos/pics!

Great!
Good write up Fred, like you, I can't wait to see the recording.
Would be great to make it an annual event. My savings account has already been started
I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....

Thanks Terry; I was very tired when I wrote it, but I wanted it to get out in a timely manner. Soooooooo sorry you missed this Terry!
I was with you all yesterday, in spirit anyway! I knew you couldn't help but have fun with all those fiddlers in one place.
I just hope I can make the next one.

BTW, great write-up, Fred! I almost felt like I was there. Oh, wait...I was!
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

AND NOW...[drum roll]...the moment you've all been waiting for: the world premiere of the First Annual Fiddlerman.com SoCal Jam video!!!!
[Note: the video is 5:25. As of this posting, something's going on with YouTube; it sometimes quits part way through. If that happens to you, too, try reloading it.]

I love that video!
Plane ticket $400. Hotel $300 @ 2:38 Pierre finally got Diane to smile..PRICELESS! 
Looks like you all had a fantastic time. Nice song for the ending too.
I hope to join one these jams...one of these days!
