FWIW, we're at Marker 20 tomorrow night in downtown Hampton.
So how many of you yahoos do I need to put on the guest list?
Marker 20 huh? Do you know Dave carter he plays there alot?
I don't think so. The name does sound familiar.
I can ask the others in the band...the guitarist is from the peninsula & seems to know everyone.
Our drummer is from the 'burg...Sherman Jones. Know him?
Don't think i know him, Dave is just a one man guitar/ singer he is nothing spectacular just a guy i know cause he plays at Pauls deli in the burg on wednesdays.
Well, I'm starting the body on my first build today, and once I get it done I'm going to try to organize a GTG so I can get opinions... Maybe a month or so, with any luck.
Anyone interested in a meeting? Probably in Richmond, as a central point.

That's quite a collection you've got going on, I'm green with envy.
thanks..I started all my music and bass collecting in 72 in the tidewater area buying my first bass and amp from the "Benny Gould" music shop close to the intersection of Little Creek Rd and Tidewater Drive...Great stories of that Area back then......
Our buddy Justyn lives in Westover Hills. A lot of areas are sorely under-represented:
Winchester
Northern Neck
Middle Peninsula
Grundy
Riis
wow..old memories..when I went to oDU..I lived a couple of blocks behind Southern s/c!!!!
+1 on Chuck at Moe's Music.
I have played a few Blues Jams with him. I am temporarily back in Chicago for medical treatment...I'll be back!!!!
Does the Jewish Mother still host a Blues Jam ? There was a joint on Shore Drive that hosted one for awhile. My son and I are back and forth several times a year. Who currently hosts Blues Jams and on what nights. Do any of you cats know Lloyd. He was playing with the Funky Blues Kings. Ilook forward to seeing some of you cats in the Spring.

Hey Ben - I didn't know you were originally from Virginia had still had ties up here. Or maybe I did and have forgotten it.
Personally, this thread became solid gold once someone mentioned Paul's Deli in Williamsburg. My older brother and I both went to school down there, so we both misspent FAR too much of our college careers at Paul's.
Ben - I find it highly amusing that you and I have played the same venue (admittedly 20 years apart) - I played William and Mary Hall (in the basketball season pep band - not quite the same thing, sadly).
Starting in 1990, when, as a 15 year old, I visited my brother in his senior year at W&M, through my own graduation in '97 - '07 was the first year I didn't go back for homecoming. Paul's was the only place worth going.
Sadly, I never played there, but the story of my 21st birthday at Paul's is better entertainment than any band I ever played in.
