Bruce Wall, age 2, with his first puppy, Tribbles future host of Jam-A-Que. His hair was considerably shorter back then.	Bruce still has a puppy, ah, several puppies! There's Duke, Jasmine, Duchess the three legged champ and Precious (above). Duchess is Mike's dog and Precious is Nicole's.

The tent, donated for the event by Poindexter Realty in Carthage. It rained or sprinkled off and on through out the day and the tent was a life saver. Thanks to "Digger" of Poindexter. May 15, 2009	Even the guests pitched in	Scott Braswell unloading equipment, Friday, May 15th.

Bruce and Jim were talking about pickups for twenty minutes before I realized they weren't talking about trucks! Jim came all the way from California for the jamfest.	"Aunt Jane" Van Zant, queen of the Van Zant royal southern rock family and guardian of the Lynyrd Skynyrd family legacy, and Bruce's dad, May 15, 2009
"Cocanut" Harley Lamoureux, harmonica player for Charlie Daniels with me and granddaughter Ashley, May 15, 2009. Harley and his wife Carolyn are really wonderful people. I caught a couple of hours of sleep at his house and he took me to the airport to come back to Arizona early Sunday morning.	Friday evening and the house was full. In the foreground is Jody Willman and in the background is Jane Van Zant. The fellow with the red cup was one of the musicians from the Southern Rock Society band.	Friday evening was the fish fry, the reward for the work we put in preparing for Saturday. The couple in the middle were from Cincinnati. We all got a bit wet working in the rain (May 15, 2009).
Bruce's house by about noon Saturday.	Bruce's backyard Saturday before the rains came. The forecast for 80% chance of thunderstorms kept the size of the crowd down from previous years (a little later the chance was 100%). By all accounts, those who braved the weather had a great time	Ron Wall , Randy Snider and Jody Willman, three grandpa's bragging about their grandkids! Photo from Photobucket (thank you to the person who took it). In the forenoon before the music started everyone had a chance to mingle and get to know others
Cousin Nick (McDonald) Whitsett with Justin McCorkle and myself. Nick at 16 is an accomplished guitar player and Lynyrd Skynyrd fan. He was supposed to play with Scott Braswell but their set was cancelled when the rain delayed the program. Scott cut his own set to make time for the other artists. We arranged for Nick to play at the last minute and Bruce told him that next year if he comes he would plan to get Nick on early in the program.	Bruce with Donnie Winters and Rich Pierce of Rambler. The man in the blue tee shirt is a relative of Richard Grace's from Arkansas and unfortunately I have forgotten his name.	Rich Pierce of Rambler and cousin Nick Whitsett.
Bruce and good buddy Richard Grace. Richard is a student counselor at the University of Phoenix in Nashville and an old friend from Arizona	Kenny Bailey and I spent some time in Bruce's garage talking with Billy Luke (middle) about his days with Johnny Paycheck and Neil Young. I do not remember the name of his friend in the dark shirt. Of course that is Jim Wagner of WCR pickups on the right. All great guys. Billy Luke came with Chris Hicks of Marshal Tucker Band.

Michael, Ashley and Britney with Grandpa	Scott Braswell with Bruce. Scott, from Belmont, North Carolina, is a fantastic guitarist and teaches guitar at Music Center in Gastonia, North Carolina. He tours with his band Rock Bottom. This photo is from Photobucket.	Famed guitarist Chris Hicks of Marshal Tucker Band brought his own band to the jamfest. When I was introduced Chris exclaimed, "Mr. Wall, I've had my back to you many times!" He introduced me to his lead singers and several of his band members as Mr. Wall..
