And planning to pitch a tent and stay overnight on Herb's land. We can tell ghost stories if anybody else camps. LOL
I may try to do that. I've got a tent that's been in mothballs for 15 years. If it still seems OK when I set it up at home, I'll bring it. Also depends on the weather for that weekend.

My cell records 4K video and we could do YouTube or Facebook. I have both. We'll have to see if Herb has a strong wifi connection or it would be a record then upload.

It isn't exactly fiber but I was able to stream TV to my laptop when I was there. He can tell you the horror story if he cares to about when he inquired into higher speed internet. I was in shock when I heard it.
I have a blazingly fast DSL connection that smokes 20mb/s Or in other words.... No. However, the cell towers are close enough you can live-stream across your phone.
Hoping the weather is warm and dry. Yes, there are motels close by...about 10 minutes away, and you are more than welcome to pitch a tent on the land. If you need a motel, book it early so you have a place to stay. You can always call them to change your plans if necessary.
SO: I'm seeing the following folks confirmed at this juncture. Feel free to copy this list and add your name to it if you are planning on coming and I don't have your name on this list.
Herb... of course, because I live here. Steve Eddie Pat Charlie
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add 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.
I think you can put David and Rharv in heavy pencil if not ink. I have emailed a bunch more in addition to this public thread so I am hoping at least a few more attend. Also remember spouses are quite welcome. In fact, encouraged.
For some strange reason the Australian and English folks have declined... LOL!
Will we have a bass player and a drummer? Live drummer. Eddie can play bass live on the piano if need be. Perhaps others can play live bass. I hope...

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig? “Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
Another question. Could we live stream some of this on Zoom? Steve, do you know how to do that?

Hey, that is fantastic Steve. You can also be in charge of writing all the drum lines with BIAB and Superior Drummer. You did say you had all that stuff, right...lol
No stinking musicians needed...what a concept...lol lol
In that case, I'll just stop by Texas and bring my two-inch tape machine. You guys do provide roadies to unload heavy stuff right?...lol

So can how many people could log on to zoom that don't have a paid account?

I don't think there's a number limit. I'm on a free account and it's restricted by time, 40 minutes at a time per meeting. You get to 40 and start a new meeting. We could do a test-drive meeting from our homes at any time.
Paid Zoom accounts come in a few tiers. Al of them have unlimited time, as opposed to the 40 minute limit on the free account. My paid Zoom account is the least expensive and can host, I think, dozens, but I will check. EDIT: confirmed, it's 100 on the free account and 100 on the first paid (unlimited time) $150/year account. When you move to the $200/year paid account, it goes up to 300.
Only the one host needs the paid account, and then everyone else who connects can stay on past the 40 minutes.
You'll probably want to Turn on Original Sound, and change the setting so anyone can Share Screen (to show chord charts etc.).

Sure, Steve. I don't see any real issue except the internet connection. I have a pretty high-quality webcam (usb) I could bring and a Lap Top if needed. I use zoom all the time with a free account but never had more than three or four people connected at any one time.
We could publish the times here on the forum. Perhaps we could get Herb to get on a zoom call with you and me to see how well all that would work. It would give us some idea of the bandwidth issues if any at Herb's place.
There is some other audio software to enhance the audio that you and I could talk about offline.
I will PM you my cell number.
