We've had a Members Pics & Lics page on this web site for quite awhile - but, not too many of you have sent in your pictures. I'm going to start a separate Members Photo Album and will try to start it off by filling in some from our Past Pickin' Parties - but, how about everybody making an extra effort to e-mail me a good one of yourselves - with your name, city/state, guitar preference, and favorite guitarist. Please Attach picture and Say Hello.
Removed 3/31/06 OUR "POOLE" PARTY on Saturday, Jan 21st, 2006 was simply "wonderful." (click for more info) He was also inducted into our OFGC Hall of Fame (HOF)

good friend of ours, Maurice
Jones, and one of the finest Merle Travis

silk wreath to his funeral to celebrate a life full of
guitar music.

Palmer Moore Removed Our old good buddy and great acoustic guitarist, Bill Dutcher, will be coming home to Ohio for Thanksgiving and will be performing at Sports-On-Tap in Hilliard, the night after Thanksgiving (Fri. the 25th) 9pm - 12am.

Removed A good friend and member of
OFGC, Larry Wright, has been a great financial supporter of our club for long time. Even though several strokes had made it nearly impossible for him to play guitar anymore - he still attended every
Pickin' Party and most Tuesday Night Club Jams. Unfortunately Larry had another series of strokes awhile back that has him pretty much bed ridden. I know he'd love to get some cards and letters from you folks: Removed We're havin' another OFGC Pickin' Party: Sat,
