Good idea about the fan club. I'll bet Pete would be a bit embarrassed, but
would be quite proud non-the-less. You mentioned Mike. What a musician he is.
I played one of his CD's all the way from the Inn into TN. He is extremely
talented. You are right about seeing so much talent there. And for Free yet!!
Bill I agree with you about Pete.
Its really not fair to all the others like Mike and Jim (and way, way, way too
many others) to single Pete out- they are all so stunningly good that the
Gathering was chock full of the most amazing talent.
Howsomeever, Pete plays with clarity and power more like Uncle Josh than any
other player I have seen or heard. Snake introduced Pete to me. Pete's his
favorite too. We oughta start a Pete Smith fan club.
Because nice is better.

Thanks to Pammy and all others who worked to give us all a great time and
lots of music. Here I am, 80 years and counting, and I had one of the best times
I can recall. Thank you all. And Pete Smith? WOW! While there I christened him as
my favorite "resonator" player. Had a great time...Hope to return in '08.

Tim and everybody else on the list, what Wally didn't say was that his
family band "Fretloose" was one of the hits of the Friday night show.
There were so many great reso players there and one gentleman, Pete, from
Virginia was fantastic on his MAS and also was a wonderful teacher. Pete had the
young man from Holland playing two songs on his new Wolfe, after a half hour or
45 minute lesson, and the young man had never played a resophonic guitar before.
Everybody on the list needs to get to the Gathering some time if there's any
way. There were guitar players there who might have been flat picking champs and
there were singers that sang like they stopped by from the Opry.
What a treat.
Because nice is better.

Tim,
It's held in Wilesboro, NC. I'll let the
folks who put it on say more about it.
I'm trying to find the website for it now..
http://www.resonateur.com/page-gathering2007.htm
I'm sure they'll be pictures and other stuff
available there, soon. I know people were filming
various aspects (the show, and some of the jams).
I'd heard there was a DVD available of the show, so
I'd actually like to get a copy of that.
I have some pictures, I'd like to post somewhere. Not
sure who to give those to exactly.
It's a very low key, easy going event. Held at
the Holiday Inn in Wilksboro, NC. No
"workshops" per se, but a few reso makers attended,
and
there's a benefit show on Friday night in which
anyone who wants to play signs up and does 2 songs.
I think it was about 2 hours long.
Some good pickers from everywhere attended and alot
of beginners as well. One young guy came from Holland
came to pick up his new Wolfe guitar he'd ordered.
He played acoustic guitar, but had never played reso
before. So, I think he learned quite a bit!
I'd never met Tut Taylor before, so that was a
real treat for me. Getting to meet him and hear
him play.
There was alot of jamming every night and
just an overall good time.
Anyone else?
Just wanted to say hi to anyone else we met there.
Wally
