Me too-I'm a light weightboth playing and drinking!
Thanks Mike and all. My first thought when Tommy had to cancel was maybe we can just do it another state, but there were only a handful of people still willing to attend, and then what happens if you do get together, and someone gets sick?When I first heard about this I though "What's the point? It will just remind us all of not being able to get together". Well,, I was wrong.
It was great to see everyone and listen to them playing solo.
Thanks to everyone that put it together and thanks to everyone that attended.
Can't say enough Kevin for what you and Lloyd just pulled off. You brought a lot of brothers together. That is never an easy task, but you boys did a superb job!!Thanks Mike and all.

So I bounced the Zoom thing off Tommy and I bounced it off Lloyd, and I was concerned that the whole playing by yourself thing might seem a little hokey. But there was no way to find a collabarative app that would be scalable, and then you still have to deal with the whole latency thing.
Again appreciate all the hard work Tommy put into putting the live jam together, it was a shame it couldn't come off. Big ups to Lloyd for co hosting, all the help with the technical aspects, and making sure he had pants on while he was hosting.
And thanks for all who attended it was great to see some old faces, some new faces, play some tunes, drink a few beers, tell a few stories.
Solo my brothers, and that's what everyone did, played solo...my brothers.
My thanks to all. It was a fun event, and made me feel good. I am still working on getting video and audio. Just a "minor problem". At least I got to see everyone. A special thanks to the guys who put this together.
I do have a question:
How is one person selected to be "on screen"? I imagine one person is "in charge", but it really interests me as to what is going on behind the scenes.

Not true at all. Glad you could make it.My playing almost broke down the whole system!
