WOW what great performances. Clapping then sad, then wanting to dance. Thank God you have given us these videos vivatones66. Love, Linwood Kent (my heart is full of joy, see you all in the air)

Whenever I listen to these gifted musicians I remember Vivatones66 who passed away much too early. He will never be forgotten. R.I.P

Don't normally comment because I get carried away once I start watching these fab jams, very very enjoyable indeed. From the UK.

That is great pickin', all I need now is Granpa Jones' favorite snack, a stewed 'maters and boiled okra on light bread so's you gotta' lift and eat fast lest it fall thru' the crust!!! ABSOLUTELY GREAT MUSIC!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING IT TO US.

That sounds like a mouth-watering feast for a bluegrass King. On behalf of the Ocoee parking lot pickers, it is a real pleasure to offer these videos to you. Thank you for watching them.

It was mighty nice of Judie to come out of retirement and join the pickers with some of her great harmony. She hadn't played the bass for some time and shared the load with Cody Nieves and Johnny Adams. Good of you to make note of this.

Well Vivatones I think you have outdone yourself this time, who need's to go to the Grand ole oprey when there is talent like this on your door step my goodness it was fantastic. Nice to see Judie back again and looking well and singing well to. Take care God Bless.

Well done again my friend these videos just get better & better, this is happiness in 3 parking bays, with some new tunes and some oldies but goodies, the dobro player is brilliant as is young Mr Adams, "Crying my heart out over you" is absolutely belting, please pass on my regards to all for cheering me up and to you for posting your friend Jeff UK

Hi Jeff, I always look especially forward to your uplifting.comments. The dobro player happens to be a high school classmate, class of 1961, Pat Moran. Yes, he is quite skilled. Thanks for staying in touch. I know the pickers read the posts as they often bring them to my attention. Until next time.

Vivatones66, thank you so much for posting these wonderful videos! Finally a way to keep me entertained at work instead of watching random videos online lol. Got a jam coming up in a month here in Dunlap, TN and I'm so excited. Thanks again!

BreeAnna, I never responded to your kind and generous comment until now because I had a major health crisis from which I have never recovered. It’s a progressive neuropathy, and I am looking forward to seeing my heavenly family. I never tire of looking at the parking lot videos, but I can’t go back. The jam is still going strong. Please continue to enjoy the videos; visit the parking lot if you can, and accept my long overdue apology. Vivatones66

It just gets better! Once again thank you for bringing the jam to us.

have to comment on this again vivatones66 I think I'm in love with the doc Natalie Hall she is one hell of a fiddle player and I have watched her on a few of your posts and have never seen some one look so happy playing in a jam and it all seems "matter of fact" she could fiddle for me anytime, thanks for posting I could listen to her fiddling forever, thanks my friend for posting your UK friend Jeff PS ( her and Mr Adams would be Brilliant together) just saying LOL

We're with you on that. It's 5:00AM and 58 degrees F. right now in the Orlando area. We'll be looking at the 60's at Jam time Friday evening. That's a bit chilly for these old bones. Hopefully I can go early and get some video.

If y’all are still reading comments and still jam, I have a small request. How hard would it be for y’all to get a mic to pick up vocals? Thanks and God bless

Thanks for watching. I did my best from my power chair with a Rode stereo mic for many years until my disability progressed, and I can no longer attend these very active jams. I miss them and my friends very much. If you check out some of the other videos, I hope you will find some to your liking. I tried not to be too intrusive, and in ten years, I never ran over anyone’s toes 😂 Happy 🎄🎄 Giving more thought to your very appreciated comment. See if this makes any sense… The pickers are just there for fun, not performing for video. I try to stay out of their way, like a fly on the wall. So, the jam is always really for their benefit, not mine or the purpose of the video. My videos were intended to be more candid, journalistic but with a movie quality. Sorry for the long explanation.
