PINEYFEST II...June 12 thru 15th, 2003 (the weekend after Fan Fair)

We have been working on this a good bit and after checking at the local chapter meeting for conflicts, we wanted to announce the dates. The Holiday Inn in Dickson is cooperating with us again and we hope to have a few more things for all to do and enjoy while they are here this year. Until we coordinate schedules with the desired professional participants, we really can't nail down what will take place at a specific time. However, based on conversations with several of you, this is what we are trying to include.

More pro critiques. (so bring a cd and a lyric sheet). A panel discussion of publishers who will tell you how to approach and interact with a publisher, what you can and cannot expect from them, what they feel the music industry in Nashville is looking for now. A bus trip into Nashville. Reps from NSAI, BMI and ASCAP to discuss their roles in the business and what they can do for you. A canoe trip. Mike Dunbar will be teaching a lesson on the Nashville Number System and how to chart a song for demo. Studio time at reduced rates for those who are interested. A better sound system with at least three microphones so we can do some spotlight rounds.

This started as a party and we have no intention of turning it into a seminar. However, we realize how fortunate we are to live in the Nashville area and that for many of you, this is your only trip here....so we do want to try and provide an avenue to the things which interest you most.

Please let us know if you plan to attend. Also, if there is something you would like to see which we have not included, please email me at greydog8@earthlink.net or email Bobbie at bgallup@aol.com. Or feel free to call us collect inside the continental US at
(931) 729-7008 or (931) 729-7009.

Thanks and we really look forward to seeing you all.

Bobbie and dawg

Update # 1. We have confirmation on Barbara Cloyd, Cyndi Foreman from Almo-Irving, and Charlie Craig, and Razzy Bailey.

Troutner's Studio has been kind enough to give us a solid week of studio time, from Tuesday, June 10th until Tuesday, June 17th for demo sessions. I will be blocking these sessions in two to three hour segments so that all who want to have a pro demo done can get one. The free demo is limited to one per person. It includes Studio time, producer, engineer, piano or guitar. Additional musicians and vocals are the responsibility of the songwriter. I will help as much as I can in assisting you to hook up with the right person.

This is not a home studio with an 8 track recording. Jim's studio is undergoing renovation right now from a large open studio to a project studio with isolation rooms for vocals, drums and acoustic. It will be brand new and ready by the 10th.
He has dedicated mac computers just to run the cubase recording equipment.

The demo alone should be worth the trip.

Will have to send a "final confirmation" but count me in once again....

Burleyman,

I am glad you responded first while this is fresh in my mind. I just got off the phone with Steve Holt. They held him up at immigration for over two hours because he was coming into the US to play without a work visa. He told them we was playing a "Free Show" at the Bluebird. They finally let him in, but by then he had missed his flight and won't arrive now until late tonight.

He will be back home around Friday. I mentioned you to him and he has your name written down, so give him a call. (416) 929-8112.

He is gonna try and make it back down for PFII also.

So glad you're coming, burleyman.

dawg

Big thanks Dawg. I will. Hope you have a good time with him.

BTW Dar Williams, one of the USA's truly wonderful singer songwriters is appearing at Nashville's Belcourt Thatre on May 28.

If you can make it, go! She is promoting her new album, The Beauty of the Rain. I have been hyping this lady for some four five years now. Wonderful, sometimes quirky lyrics, and solid melodies.

Check her out

I'll be there !
Hopefully , Mary will be making the trip as well....
Looking forward to fun, music and sticky bunz !

Bob

Hi Bobbie and Dawg!
I plan on attending too. I cant wait.
sounds like you have lots of good stuff lined up.

Hey LUCY!! Where are you!!!

Take Care

Ria's Song Lyrics

I am going to try my best to make it this year! After missing last year's party, I told my husband I was going this year whether he wanted to come with me or not! Seriously, put me down for a "definite maybe" ... oh wait, that was Blake's song ...

------------------
Mary Lou

well guys... unfortunately, I spent my yearly travel budget on going to L.A. and I don't think there's any kidneys left in the freezer to sell, so this year's Pineyfest will be "Tink-less". Believe me, I'm very sad I won't be making the trip, I had SO much fun last year, it's just going to have to sustain me for another year.

Bob, chin up, soldier... the show must go on, with or without your Bongette.

I already miss you guys...

'Scuze me... I need a tissue,
Tink

Sounds great dawg! I was so sad I couldn't go last year, but I will definitely be there this year.
Already got my roomie lined up (thankee Mz. Harriet!) and I just can't wait to meet everyone in person.

See ya in June

Take care,
Amelia

Hello Bob (don't Joan Rivers wish she had your last name)Young,

Can't even come close to telling you how much we look forward to seeing you again and meeting Mary. Stay safe and healthy.

dawg

Ria,

So glad you are coming. You are gonna have to help me work on Tink, though.

dawg

Hello Mary Lou,

We sooo look forward to meeting you. It is gonna be a major blast. Promise.

dawg

Tink darlin'...

You are looking at this all wrong. This isn't a travel budget item.....nooooo

1. This is about music and music nourishes the soul...so it is ok to use the grocery budget for this.

2. You are gonna be sleeping indoors so it is perfectly permissable to "borrow" a lil from the mortgage funds.

3. This is a big organization...sorta like the government, so it is ok to play government...you know, engage in deficit spending.

4. When mama's not happy, nobody's happy. We know that Larry and the kids want you happy...and each of them have two arms right. They could sell a pint of blood from each arm at a different hospital every week from now to pineyfest II. Heck, so could you. Then you'll get a buzz even cheaper and you can put some of the Coors Light budget towards Pineyfest II.

Workably yours,

dawg

That's right Tink....

You WILL be there !

Somehow, some way...we're going to make that happen !

Bob

Aww... Dawgy, look at you. GREAT presentation, really really great! You've obviously been very "creative" over the years with your budget and you've made a wonderful case here. I will indeed consider all the ideas you've offered.

and Bob, you are so sweet. If there's any way in the world I can make it, I promise, I'll be there, but the outlook is pretty bleak at the present time.

You guys are great, ya know it!?
Love ya,
Tinkala

Ah geez kids will still be in school
makes it very difficult for me- I'll have to get back to you.
Pam

[This message has been edited by Hurley (edited 04-15-2003).]

I REALLY WANT TO GO AGAIN...I'm afraid of leaving the wife with TWO kids; last year it was just one! I'm gonna do what i can...

Hi Amelia Rose!

I am SO excited that you will be coming down for PF2!!! This will be SO much fun. You will have a great time...promise! But watch out for that Harriet-girl..she gets pretty wild.

Hugz,
Bobbie

I hope I'll be able to make it. I already have a trip to Nashville planned for August so I'm not sure if my budget will stand two. Anyway, I'd LOVE to be there so I'll have to cut my expenses for the next months.
Take care

Juan

Howdy Hurleygirlie...

We deliberately put PF2 after Fan Fair this year because we figured some folks kids would still be in school that first week..but after all the snow days some schools had this year, some schools are probably going to be holding classes till August I guess. LOL Maybe your folks will help you out with the kids for a few days. This IS important ya know!! You and Wayne need a break! We need you here!

Hugs,
Bobbie

Hey Blake...bring Steph and the kids this time. Tell her SHE can sit next to Tracy this year! There were quite a few spouses this past year and hopefully more this time. We want you HERE!! Got lotsa neat stuff in the works.

Bobbie

HiDee NVL & Dawg!

I'll sure TRY to be there! May be a bit tough Financin' La Femme's trip to Europe to see her Family that very Same Month...Gulp...but if it's Humanly (& Fiscally) Possible, sure I'll be there witchas!!! Sure Enjoyed Myself the Last Time...so you know I WANNA Be There!!!

Big Advance Hugs,
Stan

Howdy Juan,

We sure HOPE you will be able to work it out this year. We want to meet you and your new wife, you know!! As we firm up the pieces of what will be happening, we hope you will be able to figure out a way to be a part of it this time around.

Bobbie

Howdy Tampa,

You are the master of financial finagling!! I am sure you can figure out HOW to make it work. You know you hafta be here! It just wouldn't be right for you to miss it. Plus you will have your new equity loan by then. I know you can do it!!

Bobbie

Sounds like it will be a fun event. Make sure you take lots of picts for those of us who can't make it.

Sis

Hi Bobbie and Dawg

I would love to come to Pineyfest again. I’m not going to promise anything yet, but I want you to know that I’ve seen your post and the cogs are whirring

Cheers

Nige

Hi Family, I am so hoping that Bob and I will be able to make it again this year. It looks like I will have to get a big win at Bingo to make it though. We have had to make some big buck purchases this year and robbed the piggy bank bare to do it. Needed a furnace, a washer/dryer, a TV and also my damned oven went out on my range!!! I can't believe so many needed things broke down at the same time. Even my trusty mouse died on me alnog with my PC speakers. Had to dust the cob webs off our Visa, so I'm looking for a miracle so that I can come down there and perform the chicken song that Bobbie wrote to go with my yellow feathered costume. I have been looking forward to seeing you all again. This time, if I get my miracle and make it down there, I am knocking on doors to find the action people. Us older folks don't need much sleep. I missed a lot of those late nite bashes and woould love to get in on a couple of jam sessions with my keys. I know The Gallup/Bernard Duo will be planning a lot of extra curricular activity I won't want to miss. Here's < ME >hoping. Idamarie

Hello Sis,

We continue to hear good news from the pros we are approaching. The incomparable Barbara Cloyd will be back again this year for critiques and she is bringing a friend from Almo Irving along. (Scott Gunter will be in London that week and unable to make it)
Gary Vincent, who was unable to attend last year because of a conflicting gig in Chicago will be here this year and he is bringing another really good writer and performer with him, Bennie Nelson.

It's really shaping up to be a fun gathering, but it wouldn't be anything at all without you folks.

dawg

The happy face is for all the fun you're going to have at PineyFest 2. The sad face is because I can't make it this year. No money to get there, no vacation time at work until September. Last year was truly one of the best times I have ever had and I'm really bummed I can't be there this year. Any chance I can convince you to hold it in Bemidji this year?

Have fun!

Ricki

Howdy Nige,

To borrow a phrase from our JPF buds, we will put you in the "definite maybe" column!! Hope you can work it out to be with us again. I know it is more than just a little jaunt for you...but we sure enjoyed having you here last year!! Hope those cogs will find the right track to get ya here again.

Bobbie

Dear B.G. and Dawg,

I really want to....so put me in the definite maybe's...and we'll see how
the rehab goes....with husband..
You guys have really put some thought and work into this...and it really sounds
wonderful.

L,
Kaley

Howdy Mz Idamarie,

How could we have Pineyfest without our favorite Disco Granny?? It just ain't gonna happen!! I sure HOPE you and Bob will be able to make it!!! I wanna hear my chicken song!!! Besides, I just wanna see you again. I need a big Idamarie fix, my dear lady!!! I do understand about the finances though. This hasn't been a great year for a lot of us either in that regard....but that is all the more reason to get together with our friends and enjoy life for a few days of fun and laughter. You are an essential part of that you know!

Hugs,
Bobbie

Rici,

I can't imagine pineyfest without "the bemidji babe"....but I couldn't imagine "the most fun" including a trip to the emergency room either.<g> You need to try to get on down here. Can you imagine how them minners will smell if we have to mail 'em to you?

Hope to see you soon.

dawg

I need to win a lottery before I can confirm!!! I wish I could be there and meet ya'll, but I've taxed my limits with boss and job and finances with my recent illness and period of recovery. I loved your budget justification, but mine doubles as soon as I cross that line. Hope to see you all next year. Jeannette

Bump!

Bobbie and Dawg -- Do you have something arranged with the Holiday Inn so that they have blocked rooms for this (possibly at a special price)? Just wondering so that if I call to make reservations, I know to ask for "Pineyfest" or however you set it up. If not, I'll just call when my vacations days get approved! So far, looking good! Thanks for all the preparations you've done to make this happen again this year!
(I may call you to get info.)

Hi Miss Bobbie, & Mr. Dawg,
Thanks so much for doing this!!
Right now it's still early to plan my days when this will take place BUT I do plan on being there, if nothing else, for parts of this great get-to gether!!
Ya'll never cease to amaze me at your tallennt and care for others, and this is another one of those ways you've shown your true colors, as far as just wanting to contribute and help people like me!!
I hope everyone that can will take advantage of this opportunity, I guarantee just meeting these folks will be worth the trip!!!

My Love and best wishes,
kc

Mary Lou,

Good mornin' to ya! The general manager of the Holiday Inn has been out undergoing back surgery and I have to wait for her return to lock in the prices. We are shooting for the same as last year.

dawg

I just added the first major update to this and can confirm the same room rate as last year at the Holiday Inn.

dawg

Way to go Dawg, This is going to be a great year for JPF locally all around. So sorry I couldn't make last years Pineyfest, but I was so tired from the JPF stuff and my own shows that week that it just woulda been the end of me. I know I would've fallen asleep trying to drive home. This year I don't have a car , but I'll make it somehow as promised.
And thanks for being here at last months meeting. I'm definately looking forward to the next Meeting and Jam on the 18th. as well. Terri Lynn

Ok.....i'm there. Confirmed. No tickets yet, but it's all clear. Hey Dawg, does that demo studio have a website?

Since I wasn't there last year, I don't know what the rates were at the Holiday Inn! I got a couple days of vacation approved, so looks like my hubby and me will be coming (although he says he's gonna play GOLF SOMEWHERE down there, so don't know how much he'll be with me!) Dawg, can you send me an email with the rates and information so I can call? Thanks so much!!


------------------
Mary Lou

Thanks, TerriLynn

We look forward to seeing you next month, and at Pineyfest II. Anything we can do or bring, let me know.

Corky

Yes..it's true...

I will be handling the renatal bathing suit concession at the Holiday Inn.

We have saran-wrap models in all sizes !

Bob

Now, now, Bob..LOL you didn't clear that concession with the boss ya know!! We are getting SO excited about the way things are shaping up for this year. Can't WAIT!!

Hugz,
Bobbie

Mary Lou and Blake,

check your email. Hope I answered your questions...MaryLou...if you need more golf course data let me know.

dawg

Bob,

Wasn't there a novelty song a few years back with a similar title..."She's wearing a paper dress....(and I'm praying for rain).

OK...Bob (not as old as Dole) Young has the "easy tan" bathing suit concession.<g>

dawg

Saran wrap eh Bob...now Tinkapooh's gotta come. Ever since Pineyfest minus1 (AKA Detroit) we've been trying to figure out if she's a true blonde. I guess only the Panty Vigilante knows for sure


Dawg, can you post the phone number for the Holiday Inn please.

Ciao

I can't take this... I'm going to have to stop reading this thread... boo hoo...

Only the Panty Vigilante and I know for sure, Johnjohn... BSH!

Tinkapooh

I'm with you, Tink. I keep torturing myself by coming back for more. How about you and me have a mid-west mini-Pineyfest somewhere between Harlan and Bemidji? We can call the Holiday Inn and listen in on someone's cell phone. Man, that's pathetic! Maybe next year, Tink, maybe next year.

Ricki

Yeah well. Every time I wear my I'm Bubba tee shirt I weep. Just keep 'em happening folks. One day sooner or later I'll get there. Maybe sooner than later if what happened the other day pans out.
Don't hold ya breath though. I'm still counting eggs not chickens.

Tink and Ricci,

I really am trying here. Knowing that Ricci is an outdoor girl based on the first jobs she had out of college, and how fond she and Tink both are of minners, I have permission for you two to pitch a tent and camp right by the river, at Loretta Lynn's (about 12 miles west of the Holiday Inn.) Ya'll can shower and eat here at the house.<g>

dawg

Wow, Graham, did I miss some news?!

Thanks for all the info, Dawg! Have to make some phone calls now to finalize plans! Appreciate your help!
