THERE WAS A "JAM" ONCE A WEEK HERE AT THE RESORT....I WENT TO THIS ONE, BEING WE WERE LEAVING SOON..HADDO GO AND CHECK IT OUT.  WAS AMAZED AT ALL THE INSTRUMENTS...KEYBOARD, DRUMS, GUITARS, MANDOLIN, UKE, BANJO, MOUTHORGAN, ACCORDION...GOOD OLD SONGS WITH A BUNCH OF GOOD OLD BOYS.

A MAN WHO WAS ABOUT 95 SANG, CARRIED A FINE TUNE, BUT WITH A "RUSTY SOUNDING VOICE", LADY IN WHITE SANG "U NEEDED ME", DID SOME OFF KEY NOTES, BUT SURE KNOWS HOW TO HARMONIZE...ANOTHER REALLY DID A GOOD JOB ON THE MOUTH ORGAN....

HAD TO GET THE PIC OF THE ONLY VIOLIN PLAYER THERE....SURE MISS PLAYING MINE....STILL LOVE VIOLIN MUSIC

US TWO SISTERS....SURE WAS FUN IN THE SUN AND ENJOYED SISTER TIME.

                                THE FIRE DEPT. WAS PRACTISING SCUBA MANEUVERS IN THE POOL.  WHEN THEY WERE DONE, THEY HUNTED FOR A DIAMOND OUT OF A LADY"S RING....DIDN'T FIND IT.
