Last year was Herbfest. This year we want to have Herbstock!  I have reached out to several folks in private mail, but as the time approaches it's probably a good idea to post it out here in public. The conversation thus far has all been done in the Songwriter's Showcase under the "Life Is Hard" thread, but not everybody goes there. So here we go. The principles from last year have discussed doing another reunion, and we are hoping to see MANY more faces and hear much more music than last year. Herb is a most gracious host and has offered overnight camping for anybody who wants to. Initial plans included burgers and dogs on the beautiful firepit he has built. As talks go on we'll discuss some backline equipment, at the very least a small PA system. If need be I'll hit up my friend who owns a music store and borrow some stuff. I'll be bringing keyboards, a small guitar amp, 2 laptops, and a mixer so if people want to run song files in BIAB or RB there will be a computer running each, or rendered WAV files can be played as well, all through the PA. (Also a bunch of the hot dogs!) This could, and hopefully will, be a really great time. Last year we were focused on getting "Life Is Hard" done and not much beyond that. This year we'd like to have a looser, relaxed day of people playing and singing, and just enjoying the day. I realize it may be a bit of a drive for some people, but I look at it this way. None of us is getting younger, and if all it costs is a (for me, 9 hour) drive each way, that's a bargain price to pay for a day full of fun and PG music community bonding. The date for this event is Saturday, April 29th. Google Middlesex NC for distance from your location. We have a couple of folks committed at 90% that are as much as 12-14 hours away. I am 9. I can only speak for me, of course, but the thought of missing out on this opportunity carries with it a consideration that as an older man I may not be here for 2024, so I am 100% in on this. Hope to see a lot of faces this year! And hear a lot of good music!

I've confirmed with Herb. Looks like a 13 hour drive for me. I'll stay at one of the nearby hotels and bring a dog with me, probably the Aussie. I've offered to donate $$$ to Herb for "food/dealing with me" costs. If it's of need, I do have a mic/mic stand/cables/drum mic bag that I've used for remote recordings. I've also got the 18i20 Focusrite interface in case a lot of inputs are needed for recording. I don't recall if Herb already has a similar input setup. Here's the original Off Topic conversation started by Herb for any other details previously mentioned: Herbfest 2023

I'd love to make it, but I've got 3 or 4 gigs booked for every week through July.
Have a great Herbstock. I wish I could be there. It should be tons of fun.

I unfortunately can not make it now. The guys I go up north with have moved that vacation up a couple of weeks, thus interfering with the April date. If things go extremely well we may be coming south in March. I will let everyone know so maybe we can hook up them.
Sorry guys.
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Well.... So far it looks like 2 folks are confirmed, plus me. I'm pretty sure David is going to be here and we'll probably have the two local folks we're collaborating with here as well.
Haven't heard from Pat yet.
If you want to come we'd love to have you. Plenty of motels nearby. Plenty of room.... 28 wooded acres with a couple of creeks and it's before the skeeters come out. 1000 ft off the road back in the woods. You're also welcome to camp out if you want.
Let me know so I can plan on the total number of people.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Pat confirmed a long time ago, with the smiley face comment that this year he won't have his daughter nagging him to leave. I am in. I am really hoping that some of the Georgia folks come up. I sent a PM to John Ford but haven't heard back. Also contacted a couple of others. I REALLY hope I can get Danny Campo to come up. He is on that list of people I really want to meet. Has anybody heard if Charlie Fogle is coming? As we said in the video, nobody writes a chorus like Charlie.
Whoever we have coming, I think it will be a blast. I was hoping for Mario but life took him in another direction.
As long as RHarv comes, at least we know who's fault it is if anything goes wrong!

You should come! It'd be a heck of a drive for you, but what else do you have to do? The more Veterans, the better!

Unfortunately, my spinal ailment couldn't hack it. I'll be there in spirit. I need a private jet just for these sorts of functions. Back to it....

Eddie, send him your private jet please. Hook him to your drone!! The one you have can lift him! Mine, btw, took a dive as I was playing with it a my friend's house. One of those things where when the trees are bare you can't see the bare branches. It was 300 feet from me and I had no way to tell in that little cell phone display how close I was to a tree, and down it went. Broke 2 propellers and knocked off the battery door, which somehow landed 10 feet away. Props changed, new battery door on order. I need to buy that adapter that lets me mount a tablet rather than a phone. 8 inch display.

WooHOO! That's what I wanted to hear! I didn't get to talk with you much last year... hopefully that will change this year! And yeah, hoping Danny Campo comes.. I've mentioned it to him. He seemed interested but I think he stays pretty busy. Eddie already mentioned me, but I'll confirm that I am definitely planning to be there. I'm bringing a Bose stick PA and a two-pole PA consisting of powered speakers. Also kicking in some cash for food. And planning to pitch a tent and stay overnight on Herb's land. We can tell ghost stories if anybody else camps. LOL Herb had previously in another thread mentioned acoustic music, so I won't bring any electric guitars unless that plan changes

I wonder if there's any chance of live streaming the music so people who can't be there in person can watch from home...?
Or maybe we could set up a vidcam on a tripod and post it on youtube or facebook

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
