Graham, Ol' friend,

Nothing would make us happier than for you to show up for Pineyfest II...and not just us, you have helped so many people with you candid and supportive critiquing, your radio program, and honest and insightful opinions. We would genuinely love to have you here.

dawg

Careful Dawg... we might just scare the hell outta ya and show up... then you'll have to 'splain to Ms. Lynn what two crazy gals are doin in her yard!! hee hee...

Tink

I still don't understand the basics.

Where is the party, what time does it start, how long does it last, how do I sign up for the free demo... blah blah

????

bump

I'm sure glad I can make it this year! I'll even get to pick with Bob Young!!!

Looking forward to meeting more of you nice people.

Basical Red. The fest stared off last year as a Wedding/housewarming thing for Bobbie and Dawg for the forum but sort of snowballed and now is is on the go again this year.
Should be a heap of stuff on it in the search thing. Type in Piney fest and see what happens.
Got bored so did a search and disappointed searching Pineygest didn't bring up Dawg's original post that startyed it all. Gues we hadn't decided on a name at that stage.
Her is the link to the earliest one I found. Links to pics etc came up as well but this should get ya started Red.

How cool would it be if Graham and the missus showed up !!!

Very few people on this planet I'm really wishing to meet...he's one of 'em !

This is gonna be fun...and I'm gonna get to pick with Mike Dunbar...that is if I can read those dumb-ass charts he's bringing...and if he can read the dumb-ass charts I'm bringing !

All of my cues are in Esperanto....we'll see how friggin' smart he is !

Bob

can tell ya now I won't be there Bob. Not this year. Is just eggs i got not chickens, and I ain't sure they are even fertilized yet. Or what with either for that matter.
Often wondered how Esperanto got it's name. Know Esperance means hope so i figured esperanto means "Im gonna jabber away here and hope somebody figures what I am saying"
Might get lucky with Mike Bob. He and me got a couple of songs in the mill so he may have them charted into real music.

Yes, Bob, You are right, Graham and his wife are some of the people I would really love to meet in person. By the way Graham, you just gave me a new song title. The whole story came to me in a flash as I read your response. Look for-- He and Me and a Couple of Songs real soon on the forum Thanks Cobber. I will think about you at the Piney Fest as I listen to Bob and Mike Pickin'.
Idamarie

Graham! You've still not said what color those eggs were???? I'm hopin' they hatch whether fertile or not...other than that, you're gonna have a abad sulfer smell....LOL Best wishes on the chickens hatchin'
As to me going to PineyfestII, won't happen this year neither...it's same song and second verse this summer...except it gets worse....the melody is rotten so far....

OOPS! Wasn't refering to Graham's melody...just the one my life's running on lately!

Booked my room today.
I'm so excited!!

Bobbie, still dont know about the studio time, I havent heard from Tommy yet. Let me know if it's too late.

Anyone JPFer's living in/near NC interested in riding to Tenn together?

Ria

Ria's Song Lyrics

Moi aussi....June 11 arriving Wednesday night, leaving Sunday am


And Tinkapooh and Ricki, if I promise to play "Hardwood Floors" will you come????

Burleyman !!!

It'll be great to see you again !

Bob Young

Howdy Ria,
No it isn't too late to book a demo session. Just let me know as soon as you can.

Howdy Big John ..
Can't wait to see you again!! I promise no SARS jokes.

Hey Bob Never-too-old-to-be-Young,
Your place at the table will be kept warm. Lookin' forward to seeing you so much!

Hugs all around,
Bobbie

Hi Bobbie.

Well, I'm checking this out. Are you saying there is no fee except to get there and food/lodging? Wow. What a deal.
I am seriously considering flying out there.
And, a party,...

Vondelle

Hi Vondelle,

You read this correctly...there is NO fee. Three days of music, sessions with pros and a free studio demo tossed in for anyone wishing one. I don't think you could do better than this!! I hope you will be able to make it. Everyone who participated last year had a super time. Evenings will be open mic for those who sign up. It is a super way to connect, network with folks who might be potential collaborators and enjoy a lot of great music from other songwriters.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us.

Bobbie

Hello again.

Well, I er, booked my flight. See you in June.
Now, I guess I'd better take some big whole steps on over to the music theory forum.

Vondelle

Howdy Vondelle!

That is terrific news! I am SO pleased that you will be here for Pineyfest! I am sure you won't be disappointed. We've got some great stuff planned.

See you soon!
Bobbie

Free studio !!!!

Wow..at last the oppurtunity to record my bean-fueled tribute to the Bush administration !
Who needs foreign oil for gas...I'll start preparing for the performance...gimme another plate of those red beans waitress...and two orders of cabbage please !

Bob Young

LOL Bob. I was telling Steve Arvey about you last night. Told him you were a real gas guy. Never realised how true that really was until I read ya post Cobber.
Hey. he says Esperance exactly the same as you do mate.
Must be a Chicago thing.
Graham

John: I'd love to be there for one of your extra-special hugs, even if you didn't sing Hardwood Floors (although I'd love to hear you singing that, too ). Just can't swing it this year, unfortunately. Tink and I are going to call each other that weekend and cry to each other about all the fun we're missing. Sing "I Think About You" sometime during the weekend and I'll feel a little like I'm there. And maybe I'll make Pineyfest III.

Ricki

I don't know why I continue to torture myself by reading all the threads on this post... but I do. Johnjohn, I'd give anything to be there (except the money I don't have that's keeping me home). You can sing "I Think About You" for Erica and "Pickled Tink" for me.

Bob... if wishing something made it happen... well, I'd be there with you.

And I'm going to sooooo miss the 10-12 hour drive from Rockingham to Nashville, Ria... damn that was fun!! Remember when we were on our way home and we stopped at that souvenir shop and I said, "Those people look like they're from Tennessee." And we were in Tennessee.. hee hee...

Dammit, I wish I was coming!!
Tink

Well Bob,

as long as it is for a tribute, be sure to use "Bush's" Beans. Can't tell how it stirs the patriotic feelings, how proud, how honored I am to know a man whose last name is the first word in "Young Republicans".<g>

dawg

Hey Graham...

Dawg and I went to the JPF Nashville Chapter meeting today! WHAT a trip! It is SO much fun to be in a room where anyone can get up and start playing ANYTHING and they will instantly get professional backing from a keyboardist, a drummer, an upright bass player and a picker extraordinaire! But I wanted to tell you that I got the phone number of a guy who does a regular TV show from Nashville...that goes to or gets aired in Australia...called NASHVILLE DOWN UNDER. He is going to advertise Pineyfest for us...but I want to give him your contact info...so he can connect with you too. Hope that is ok with ya, ol' chap???

I wish someone would have recorded the session today. Woulda been a terrific live performance cd! It was GREAT! Most of these guys will be at Pineyfest too.

Let me know your address and o phone number...you can email me: bgallup@aol.com

Hugz,
Bobbie

HI Guys,

What's the latest head count for Pineyfest II? And which days did you guys want the Mentor feedback etc? I am going to be in Nashville 4 weeks later, so I am not sure yet if I can get there in a few week as well. I might end up doing a lighting tour of the Northeast, but I want to get some folks to come for a panel etc.. either way if you still need them. I spoke with Barbara Cloyd last month about it, but haven't booked any other mentors to get involved yet. We have Jason Blume, Pete and Pat Luboff, Barbara Cloyd, Danny Arena and Sara Light (fresh off their Tony nomination!!!), Walter Egan, Karen Angela Moore and of course Mike Dunbar, and we might have a few other folks in town from fanfest still. So let me know what, if anything, you still need and I'll make some calls.

As for Tink.. guess you'll just have to settle for hosting the first ever Omaha Roadtrip Showcase! Looks like I will be there at the end of Sept or early October. And for Rickigirl, we'll be in both the Twin Cities as Duluth it looks like in August.

Brian

Hi Brian! Thanks for the timeframe for the Omaha Roadshow, as you may or may not know, Omaha is turning into a musical mecca thanks to folks like SLAM Omaha and Saddle Creek Records.

I'm so proud to be having you and JPF come to our little nook, finally people I live with and around will get to taste a little of why I keep hanging around here!

I've been in touch with Stephen Johnson (GREAT guy!) and Justin Lamoureux (SO much energy) and plan to be hooking up with them this summer to put our plan in motion. Look forward to introducing you to more of my people.

See ya this fall!!!
Tink

OOOOOH Tink.....

Didja see what you said at the end there..?...

"My people"....oh yeah....

Now "My People" can call "Your People"...and somebody can call "Brians People"..and we'll all get together and do a lunch thing !


Cool..........

Bob

LOL Bob!! Yeh, I guess I did say "My people"... hee hee. But I guess folks here in Iowa (and Nebraska) are my people. (almost said, "I use the term people loosely," but I didn't want to offend any of them

Bottom line, Bob, I'd LOVE to do lunch with you and your people!!!

Love ya,
Tinkala

Gosh, I had such a wonderful time myself at the meeting and jam Sunday. We have some truly talented and giving folks in our chapter. It is and always has been a pleasure as well as an honor being the Nashville Host.Looking forward to Pineyfest. When am I sposed to be there again? Still don't have a car, so I have to arrange everthing I do. Imagine what kind of car I'd have if I didn't spend it all on the muse.

Brian,

we still expect the number to top out in the 250-300 range.

Barbara Cloyd is coming and bringing Cyndi Foreman from Almo-Irving with her. Mike Dunbar is gonna explain the Nashville number system while Bob Young heckles.<g>

Pat and Pete have been in California for a child's graduation. Bobbie will try to get with them this week.

It has almost turned into a full time job just trying to schedule the free studio demo sessions.

Everyone who wants a free demo please mail me a work tape (preferably on cd)and a lyric sheet. It will save a lot of time if I can get these to the engineer early and will let more people get demos done while they are here.

Please mail to:

Corky Bernard
1949 Boyce Road
Nunnelly, TN 37137
USA

Any questions, please call me collect at (931) 729-7008 or 7009.

Brian, we really do hope you will be able to join us again this year.

TerriLynn, I don't know what kind of car, but I bet the sound system would kick butt!

dawg

EXCITING UPDATE!

We just received confirmation that Mary Ann Kennedy (most recently lead singer with Kennedy Rose) will be participating. She will do a performance, answer questions and have available her latest cd, The Trail Less Traveled. This cd is awesome for anyone who loves music and animals! Mary Ann lives not far from Dickson and toured with Sting for several years. We are delighted that she will be able to participate with us this year.

Bobbie

Brian: Great! A trip to Duluth or The Cities I can swing. I'll keep my eyes out for dates and places. Thanks!

Ricki

'NUTHER EXCITING UPDATE!!

Just got off the phone with Ron Mealing, producer of NASHVILLE DOWN UNDER. PINEYFEST is gonna be on TV...and not just in Australia...but also here in Nashville. Dawg and I have been invited to go on the show June 8th to promote Pineyfest and talk about how we got where we are in music. Where IS that, BTW? LOL This guy sounds like a hoot. Should be a fun time.

We are certainly going to talk about JPF and all the good family we have here and are also gonna do a plug for our buddy Graham and ROAR Radio. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Will keep ya'all posted on developments.

Bobbie

Pineyfest is going to be on TV??!! You mean like "Live from the Dickson Holiday Inn"? or you mean you're plugging it on TV? This is really GREAT!!

Tink

I thought the same thing Cindy!! After I read it again I realized they were going to be on TV. My first thought when I read this was OH CRAP!! I have to lose 80 lbs in less than a month! LOL!!!
Gonna miss you Cindy. How can I convince Larry to let you go?
Ria

------------------
Ria's Song Lyrics

Hmmmm.... Ria, I don't know. I've been reading all the threads from last year's Pineyfest and it's really killing me. About the only way I'd EVER be able to make it is if I won the lottery, and well, I don't play the lottery. Maybe I should, huh?

Hey, Ria... will you please be my pinch-hugger while you're there? The perks are GREAT! You get to hug everyone twice!! And then maybe Bobbie or Johnjohn can pinch-hug you for me.... Wish I was going to be there. Have a great time!!

Cindy

Howdy you two..will you stop bickering! Actually, we are going on TV to plug Pineyfest and of course our JPF family...but it sounds like Ron is interested in also coming to Pineyfest and doing either a live broadcast or else taping it for editing in the studio for broadcast later on. So, in fact..both may be true. We know for sure about us going to the studio for the interview...will have to do a good job of entertaining this guy (who I have already decided is entirely too much like Dawg!! ) . I have no doubt we can convince him to be there. Will have to see about the broadcast. Should be fun either way. You know how those Aussies are!!

Now Tink...you are such a creative lady...I am sure you can think of some source of funds that would enable you to be here!

Hugz,
Bobbie

This is sounding like more fun all the time.Terri Lynn

Another fun note:

Just today we were asked to come to a local radio station in Dickson on Saturday morning to talk about Pineyfest with the DJ, Diane Davis. She told me today that she is also a singer/songwriter and is planning to come for the event. HOWEVER..she also told me to feel free to bring any cds of folks who might be at Pineyfest so she can play them on her shows. She is on air daily, including Sundays so folks will be getting some pre-Piney publicity. She said she is also looking for some original material for herself...and is going to learn one of my gospel songs to perform at a show she has booked next week. This is getting more exciting all the time.

Bobbie

HIDee All!

Looks like I'm DEFINITELY Comin' (Tho La Femme's prolly stayin' behind to run the Clock Shop...SOMEBODY's gotta generate some Loot so she can take 3 weeks OFF & visit her kin back in Switzerland in (It's) July now!)

AIRTIME..AIRTIME..AIRTIME for Pineyfest folks.

I just got back from a live on-air interview with radio station WDKN in lovely downtown Dickson. The morning show DJ had asked me to bring in some music from the folks who will be at Pineyfest...so some folks whose cds I had got to be played on the air this morning. Was fun to talk with Diane..who turns out to be a singwr/songwriter also..and is now planning to participate in all of Pineyfest. I tell you it was fun to hear some of our friend's music being played on the air. I was on the air for an hour with her and with music from all our friends. Started the show off with the collab between Bob Young and Dawg...OPEN MIC WRITER'S NIGHT..which we both thought was appropriate.

Diane, the DJ, has also asked me to round up a few folks to come back to the studio on the Saturday morning of Pineyfest (June 14th) to do some live performing!! She kept all the cds I had taken with me and will be playing stuff from Pineyfest folks over the next couple weeks to help advertise the event.

She is also going to learn and perform one of the songs that Idamarie and I have collabed on..DON'T TAKE AWAY THE MOUNTAINS for a gospel gig she has scheduled in a couple of weeks. Nice to make friends like that.

Bobbie

PS...WENDELS CDS HAVE ARRIVED

We JUST received a whole box of the hot off the press WENDELS cd and we are authorized to sell and otherwise distribute them at Pineyfest! IF we offer a couple of them as prizes...remember, you MUST be present to win!

Eat your heart out Tinkapooh!! Or better yet..gitcherself down here. Hobes already said we can give one to Ria!!

Bobbie

That is great news Guys. Just nothing quite like hearing one of ya babies done to air.
And that the Wendels Cd is out to boot.
been watching for that one.
Graham

Why do I keep torturing myself by reading this thread?! The closer it gets to Pineyfest, the harder it is knowing I won't be there.

But it sounds like it's going to be a fantastic event for those of you lucky enough to be there. Bobbie and Dawg, you guys have outdone yourselves this year!

Have fun!

Ricki

Actually Ricki,

You just need to get to Harlan, Iowa and share the driving the rest of the way with Tink! Otherwise, poor Bob Young is gonna be looking at hours of auditions to find a replacement bongette.

We really aren't trying to tortue you. We stopped listing the latest additions to the lineup...but I will tell you, you don't want to miss this...and we don't want to miss you.

dawg

BOGETTE AUDITION UPDATE !!!!!!!!

Several young ladies have balked at the physical exam, so there are still opportunities available !!!!!!!

Bob (bongster)Young

FILM MUSIC NETWORK EXEC TO PRESENT AT PF2

Latest addition to the schedule is Rollie Mains, head of the Film Music Network in Nashville. There are only 3 chapters of FMN, in LA, NYC and Nashville. These folks are the ones who do the compositions that end up in film and tv shows. He will be talking about:
* The basics of getting songs / compositions into film and tv
* Obstacles & how to overcome them
* What are the best resources to get started
* What is the FMN, the objectives of the organization, and how people can get involved with FMN.
* The Nashville Chapter of FMN...what we are doing
* A new non-profit organization he is starting to generate support for composers

More later...
Bobbie

Man this is getting more awesome by the posting! From the people I have not yet met (ie Kaley of the Kows...we go way back but never met) to the presenters...


Say Dawg and Bobby...any chance of recording the acts and getting out a Pineyfest CD?? Proceeds to charity or some good cause???


And Ricki, I posted this at my lyric thread, but I suggest you simply lose your way on the way to work Wednesday and keep on going 'till you reach the Dickson Holiday Inn. In the meantime Tinkapooh can tell Larry she's going out for milk and she can get lost on the way to downtown Harlan...and keep on going.

I'll be there Wednesday night. See ya then!

Oh and Bob, you fill it and I'll play it
