For those planning to attend Pineyfest this year, July 28-30...please be aware that the Days Inn in Centerville only has a block of 12 rooms available to PINEYFESTERS! Due to a huge construction project going on in town that has taken over much of the hotel, only the first 12 callers can reserve rooms there. Anyone who doesn't get one of these rooms will have to stay at the Holiday Inn (or one of the other hotels) in Dickson which is about a 20 minute drive away.
Call 931-729-5600 and tell them you are with Pineyfest. The room rate this year is $53.99 single/double occupancy.
Please let me know for sure who is coming and if you have or are looking for a roommate to share expenses. I have a few folks who are interested in sharing a room and will gladly connect folks with each other.
Bobbie 931-729-7008 eves

Bobbie,
So Sorry it's a no can do situation this year but I really promise to try for next year especially since we have so many songs together now and will have so many more next year.
I hope it comes off fabulously, I can't wait to hear about it. Remember me of course.
Love, Rachel

Mornin' Bobbie! You might want to post this important Pineyfest info. on the Songwriters' and/or General Forums. You also might want to post it on the JPF Nashville Chapter board as well...and to other JPF chapters nearby -just a thought.... Some of the folks who use those don't visit the Lyric Forums much....and look at all the fun they're missing !!!! Packin' for Nashville, ~*~ Emily [This message has been edited by Emily Sanders (edited 06-27-2005).] [This message has been edited by Emily Sanders (edited 06-27-2005).]

Hey, anyone staying at the Days Inn-tell 'em you want The Bongette Discount. Hehehe. Bet they'll look at you funny.

Hey Scotty, whaddya mean, no dates? You don't need a date for PINEYFEST!! I think you will find the dates in the original post...July 28-30. Hope you can make it...we'd love to see you!! Tricia knows we even 'low folks from Loo-siana at Pineyfest!! It's just a great time with great folks, most of whom only know each other by screenname. Heck, we've had folks show up from the UK, Australia, Canada and Saudi Arabia, and of course about every state in the US. So far this year I know there will be one guy from the Netherlands. You just never know who will show up. Some folks have managed to make it all 4 years. I think next year, we'll be giving out 5 year pins!! Bobbie

I just checked airline ticket prices. I can only afford half of it. I was hoping someone would be driving and I could go along and help with the driving and gas.
But next year, I may be able to swing it, finally.

Jean,
I totally understand your situation. It is so expensive to fly. I wouldn't even be making this trip if my mother hadn't generously shared some frequent flyer miles with me.
Here's an idea for next year: Let's start "Pineyfest WEST"
What do you think??!

I suppose I should ask this question, since I'm coming to Pineyfest for the first time (at least, the airline, hotel and rental car company already have my money). Emily mentioned (hi, Emily) the three songs she'd be performing at Pineyfest. How many songs are we talking about and in what kind of setting are they being performed?

Hi, Joe! Even though this will be my first time attending Pineyfest, I have been a JPF member since 2002, so I am a somewhat familiar with how things work for Pineyfest...But...if I get this wrong, I hope that other more experienced members will jump in here for input and clarification. After many conversations with Bobbie about Pineyfest, I hope to be able to accurately explain a few things The way I understand it....is that Bobbie has a lovely venue called "Molly's" in Centerville that we will use. There will be numerous opportunities to get up and perform. Bobbie has said that people take turns getting up and singing a song or two...depending on how many performers there are ( not all songwriters perform, as you know), there may be lots of chances to get up and share your music!! Bobbie has also said that people share music at the hotel- and any other time they can squeeze in between the scheduled Pineyfest events... I actually have lots of songs I wouold love to play for people during Pinetfest...am coming prepared with a lot of music. I am hoping to do as much performing as possible Hope this helps...see you soon!

Hi, Everyone, Here are a few more Pineyfest details: - Pineyfest was founded in 2001 by Bobbie Gallup and Corky (Dawg) Bernard. The first Pineyfest was a bit of a wedding celebration for Bobbie and Dawg, as they met on these boards - The first Pineyfest was held at their house, which is near the beautiful Piney River. - Bobbie and Dawg graciously hosted this event for the next three years, which included songwriters' workshops ( given by some impressive names in the songwriting community), and performances...and just plain fun! - Everyone I have talked to who has been to Pineyfest says it is a great way to meet JPF members, share music, support other songwriters, learn, and have LOTS of fun! - Sadly, Dawg passed away unexpectedly last July. It is a great tribute to Dawg and Bobbie to continue this unique event, as they both have generously given so much to the songwriting community... Dawg would have wanted it to continue, I am sure! - If there are any of who who've been to past Pineyfest events, and you have something to add here... please share your fabulous stories! - This year, attendees will receive a Pineyfest souvenir, which I designed and produced. See you soon! Emily emilysanders.net http://cdbaby.com/cd/emilysanders http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=CDB0893500012

I just read an email from Bobbie with a few important corrections. Bobbie writes:
"... the first one (Pineyfest) wasn't held at our house....when we got over 100 people telling us they were coming, our landlady Jane, didn't want us to have it here due to liability, so we moved it to the Dickson Holiday Inn, where it was held the first two years. However, we sort of informally invited folks to drop by here at the house for breakfast...and almost everybody showed up here anyway...sat out on the front porch and picked and sang and had a good time..and ate a lot of Dawg's biscuits and sausage. Then we moved over to the Holiday Inn for the evening. Brian Austin Whitney showed up for the first one...and brought along a bunch of mentors..which was greatly appreciated. That is how I met Pete & Pat Luboff, Barbara Cloyd, Nancy Moran, Fett, etc.
The reason for the whole shindig was because everybody on the board wanted to come to our wedding...which, being as how it was going to be a small affair at my ranch in the mountains, we said...wait till we get to Nashville and we will have a party and invite everybody....and Pineyfest was born."

Hi, Wyman, I'm sorry I missed your post....yeah, let's write that song about Pineyfest WEST...who knows...this song could be huge! Although, it does kind of scare people away from California...the stereotype of us only haivng earthquakes, floods and landslides is an unfair picture of a very beautiful state...where there are some wonderful people...just my opinion...

Hi, Joe,
Thanks for the kind words. It's easy to do nice things for Bobbie; she's one of the most generous people I know, and a very dear friend...The souvenirs are small, but very personal for Pineyfest and it's history.
See you very soon...
Emily

I see you've already corrected the first Pineyfest info.. good to see Bobbie and I pretty much have our stories straight actually.......... the first Pineyfest was originally PLANNED to be held at Piney House. But....due to concerns by Bobbie and Dawg's landlord about our potential huge crowd.... we held it instead at the Holiday Inn in Dickson. Although.... as was traditional that year and every year since.... a number of us drove out to the house in the morning for some of Dawg's coffee and sticky buns... and visiting. When Dawg and Bobbie announced their plans to get married... it was going to be a fairly small ceremony at her house in Colorado... limited space... and limited advance warning. So they said that once they got settled into the Nashville area... that they would have a "wedding reception" bash. One of our regulars back then..Judy(from Australia) was in the habit of coming over here every year for the annual Country Music Festival "Fan Fair". And she mentioned that if the gathering were to be scheduled on or near that date.... she could come. (and not have to find a way to make two trips to the States in one year) Seemed like a good excuse Thus was the tradition started to hold it in June. (right before or after Fan Fair) And we did that for 3 years. (I assume there were other events that were coordinated with to have less overlap.... but not sure what they were) Depending on the number of folks wanting to perform their songs.... we have sung anywhere from 1 to 3...maybe 4 songs each. And as Emily mentioned... after the "official" events of the day are done... more song swapping takes place back at the motel. And in past years... we've had the mornings free to traipse out into the area...or hang out and swap songs, write new ones... or just "hang" ------------------ Harriet http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/harrietamesmusic.htm [This message has been edited by Harriet Ames (edited 07-05-2005).]

Emily:
If California is considered too strange (yes, parts of it are quite beautiful--and normal), there's always Oregon. I doubt I could hold everybody in my one-bedroom-plus-recording-studio trailer, but we might be able to work something out with some of the neighbors.
