Amy,
What is the name of that cool recorder thing-a-ma-bob for your iPhone? |

No problem, Amy. You were pretty busy and had a long trip ahead of you.

Neil, we were glad you stuck around for a while on Sunday. We always hope for more time to chat. This is the first year we decided to take it.

I made a thread to tell about the McJam and then I realized I was in Open mic. Well, I might get a finger shakin', but I did send Dennis a message that because I am not the brightest crayon in the box maybe he can move it where it needs to go. If it s OK there then I am OK with that.
Y'all can chase it down at the following link. http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...d.php?t=474637

I need to email a few pictures to Dennis. I hope the camera was high enough resolution for a good copy of the group and the McJam clan

I had a zoom (forget which one) and couldn't ever bond with it. what i like the most of all about the shure is the direct load into my device while recording - as compared to the recorders with an sd card whose contents have to be transferred over. the quality of the recording compared to the various apps on the iphone is much better. Especially I like the app (Motiv) features that make it really really really simple to split a long concert recording into multiple shorter recordings by song.

The Shure MV88 looks to be very straight forward in terms of directionality. Only question that would remain for me would be audio quality. But the samples sound pretty darn good!

while i am only comparing it to the built in iphone recorders, still I"ve been really pleased with the quality of recordings. i've used it at home in the living room for practice recordings, and in large rooms with jams, and in 100 seat concert venues. the single negative I can find is that it won't work with an otterbox case on the phone. Or any of the cases, actually, now that i think of it, on any device I do have to remove the case in order to plug in the lightning connector. it's not a deal breaker. plus I felt the price point was friendly enough that if it didn't work out, i'd not kill my retirement plans.

Thanks, Mary. I wanted to publicly thank you for your hospitality and your friendship. Sometimes I feel like I'm being gluttonous though. I'm happy that you got a chance to sit down and I was glad that your mom made it. My impression is that everybody who came this year left happy. I admit that I feel like it goes by too fast and I feel a little sad driving home, but OTOH I can't wait for next year.

Next year will go at a much slower pace, but all who attends will have bench time with Tim available to them. He is the main character in this story so I know how valuable it is to have a few moments of shop talk with him.
Because we were so pack with activities this year on Saturday your bench time was delayed, but Sunday morning fellowship time with you was an added blessing as much for us as for you. You are no burden. Don't ever let your heart think like that. I think circle time went over real well. I find I lack quality time to talk with each attendee, but I am thankful y'all fill out the papers so I know who to be in touch with to ask suggestions throughout the winter months. The faithful attendees become my silent majority behind the scenes. Rodger and Kathy get hammered with last minute details. With this being the McJam #10 Tim and I worked for a few months to be sure each attendee left with a little something special besides a van load of beach balls. That can't always happen, but it gives me food for thought for #20. I'm counting on all of us to be there for that event so keep eating healthy! I hope to see more talented "players" will learn Coldshot's clean cut version of Mary had a little lamb. I listened as Dennis played it! What seems strange to me is that I am still on a head high from the McJam and some how July 4th has just scurried past. The time has flown by so I am sure the year will fly by as well and the next McJam is right around the corner. In that mind set, Neil, I can confidently say, "We will see you soon!"

To be fair, I had family commitments that prevented me from arriving as early as I'd hoped on Saturday but Tim made up for it on Sunday morning. In fact, he more than made up for it. I was expecting an advisement but Tim is more "hands on" regarding such things, something that is lacking in the current "professional" environment IMO which is what caused my delay; you and Tim and don't make me "hurry up and wait." I think the food situation went much better than in years past, but you had less help too. Weather on Friday also played a factor.
As for next year, I'd love to hear your plans and maybe even offer up some input if you'd like. If I may be so bold though, I missed the old raffle format on Saturday afternoons (things actually seemed to be better organized and allowed us to interact with you a bit more, Mary.) I also missed the McKnight airplane races. I know they aren't inexpensive to produce, but I know that balsa can be cheap and it'd be a good woodworking exercise for some - if you trust us with X-Acto knives that is! I'd keep them away from the beach balls though; things got a little "high impact" this year! In the meantime, I want to go on the record that Tim continues to amaze me with his demonstrative techniques. While we didn't get to see a sound port installed this year he did get a little "impactful" showing how sturdy his guitars are. I think it's safe to say that double sides are "impact resistant" to some extent. That should be a big selling point IMO; at least three of my guitars would not have fared as well under such conditions! Looking forward though, I am counting the days to the next McJam and can't wait to see what you guys have done in preparation! As for #20, time sure does fly. I'll have to switch from waffles to egg whites and beans and rice for breakfast! Doctor's orders!
