Dear Glen(G#2) & fellow musicians.
Welcome back to the home front.
Well I think you deserve a little rest.
Anyhow, seeing how you're just getting back.
Update, things are on hold, anyhow, as CheChe , said you guys have to get together and jam, I understand that personal thing as a musician.
Cafe Europa , sounds great.
Yeah, you guys, already, have a lot on your plate, with the plaque etc. and the Kitty fund also in progress.
So be careful, two of you, on how much more, you take on.
I only expect to hear about the musical reunion from you guys, depending on where we want to take this.
The rest of the work load will have to be picked up by other members, in the area, with arrangements, or in cooperation with you guys.
I understand, that there are a lot of brothers who want to party
Like guys from
We will have to get the word out that the band, is still in rehearsal.
Right ? About the band.
When you guys get together, a common song list would be nice.
So I know what stuff to refreshup on.
Mr. Norman Smith, a singer you say, excellent, and guitar player also.
Well we have to get the singer song list, because, that is what the singer sings. Cool.
Also if David is coming, a guy with CDs and a songwriter to, many Calypso/soca artist.
I'll say no more, Sounds you've heard, and don't even know, this is the guy who wrote them.
His music is already a tribute to what the music Calypso was, and will be classics in time.
I heard,
Also a songwriter, keyboard player, with 3 or 4 of his original songs played in many countries.
Brothers, from what I see, we have, volumes of music, to share with each other.
Who knows where this can go? Let’s take it slow, let’s get the tempo.
Don't worry, we will have this band together, by the time we all retire.
/ The Florida Jam / A White Stones Production/ Live Recordings/ The Abbey House Band / members only /
Best Regards and Thanking you all, for you time, (G#1)

Thank you Nigel,
CheChe, I see, Mr Norman Smith might be adding some notes to the event.
We are, in the planning stage, also we got some interest from a couple of old boys in
Once we have an idea, of how many people are interested then we can, narrow down a compatible time frame, to work with that will be best, for all.
But don't worry, we are working on this and other pending projects right it now.
We are also waiting for a major contributor, and one of the arrangers, of the event in Florida Jam,
Mr Glen Evelyn (#2) To get back to the states.
If it was up to CheChe, he ready now.
My wife asked me last night what part of Florida is the event, as she was checking on ticket prices for me I don't even know the answer to where in Florida yet..
However between Tim, CheChe, G#2, G#3, Wayne Hackett, in
So please rest tight for the moment.
Thanking all of you in advance, you party people, who have already contacted us on the Florida Jam Session.
The eager support, we are already receiving is amazing.
We were talking about a House or the beach, the way it was looking, if it continues like this, we might have to get a Hotel.
Please those of you who are interested, please send your names in to Rafael Echeverriav (CheChe) or Tim Healy (Tarzan) or Glen Evevlyn (G#2) or myself Glen McKoy(G#1)
Thank again and looking forward to your comments.
Yours truly
Glen McKoy.

Hey Stu,
A couple of Old Boys of MSB are planning to get together in
I just thought that you might like to get involved with them, and to bring your guitars as well.
OK. I know that perhaps you all do not know one another AS YET, but hey, it might be an opportunity to get together and to enjoy some good company.
If you're interested, perhaps you can coordinate through Glen McKoy in

Neil, that photo, is me this year, on a boat, in the arm, in the

I'm 52 yrs old, this year, Brazilian women ripped my hair out, in expressing their passionate love, for me, when I was young, and it never grew back, no regrets, life goes on.
Attila, should like that.
Remember man, the Titanic, well this is the port that responded to the s.o.s call when the ship was sinking, every thing that was found, was brought back here to Halifax, even the bodies of the victims are buried here, lots of history.
I use to sail every summer, out of South-West cove, right across from Peggy's cove , here in Nova Scotia, for about 20 years, with my buddy father, who was, always the captain, he was like the top shrink, here in Halifax in the 60's-80's, and then he passed away a few years ago, he was in his late 80's,
Like ah father, learned a lot from him.
I lost interest in sailing, and only motor boat around now.
However, the

Some guys might come with wives or who ever, would of course arrange for a motel/hotel close by.
But, the place we rent, for that weekend, is Grand Central, Hang-Out .
Real Musicians coming, and is party time, and we go be, jamming down the place.
If Hudson come, we need to rent a good Keyboard, if Wayne Hackett come we have real Pan, if David De Castro (the calypso bandit) come, yuh have a band, if Rafael Echeverria (CheChe) comes we will have a Wicked Bass Player, if I Glen McKoy (Guitar#1) and Glen Evelyn(Guitar#2) comes, we have two guitar players here already, and rent a drum set too,
I play drums;
Also rent a Roland Acoustic Chorus Amp/ for me to play thru ( my Godin/ Nylon String Electric Acoustic) it also has a Vocals channel,

Of Course with all the excitement of getting together, some boys might have a little to much to drink, then you have a place, to crash, call the wife say, yuh to drunk to drive, will see yuh in the morning.
The never ending Jam, All night long
As an Imaginary member, of (the high command) The Committee, now.
We are required to have at all reunions, a escort/body guard on hand to ensure, that any committee members or members on hand are not harassed / or intimidated and nothing, prevents the event, the party, from happening as planed.
So on behalf of the committee, I am requesting Anthony Garner (Mono) to accompany me to Florida, as official of the Law here in Canada,
This committee member will feel safe to have Mono on site, for the event.
