More pics were sent to me so I thought I would post them here for those that have not seen them yet.

Rob Elliot was awesome to send me these 2 he shot at the 420 event @ The Blue Moose Tap House W/ Dead Larry and Insectoid!

Jon Eric pickin it solid!

After the 4/20 show on Tuesday, I headed up to Ames, IA to sit in with MBN-TSSB. Unfortunately there are no pictures from that show- as it is downright impossible to always have pics shot while one is playing.

After playing I scooted back to Iowa City for RIVERFEST!

I am so thankful for all those who made it out! And VERY thankful the rain held off for the whole set! Also a special thanks to my good buddy Miles Raife for adding that solid guitar track- saving me from lugging a bunch of gear risking the chance of getting all the equipment drenched! But the rain came — as I was on my way BACK out to Des Moines for another show that night!

The Vaudeville Mews was a stellar time as well with MBN-TSSB. Thankfully one photo was sent by  www.jessicaphotography.net

BELOW is another sit in opportunity I had with a VERY special young band that I enjoy for those that are not aware yet, The Workshy is exploding on the jam band scene. Back in December they had asked me to sit in when they came to Iowa City on 4/17- My response??? “ABSOLUTELY!!! I love playing in F#m!!!”      : )

It seems to me that even a month going by, so much work can be packed in!

Weather is terrible for most this year making travel and music making a HUGE challenge for those who continue to work through the icky weather.

I wanted to thank  SOUTHWEST AIRLINES for taking such good care of me and my banjo while flying this past 2 weeks. They allowed me to bring my banjo aboard and keeping it safe. They sure love their job as much as I love mine! Going that extra mile to ensure that the individual service is taken care of.

MUCH More to add later-

also if you are interested in SKYPE lessons on 5 string banjo,

feel free to reach me!

If you could have one wish come true for 2010-

What would it be?

As New Years resolutions are made, most seem to be hopeful for a brand new year- Many of my fans and friends are so GLAD to be done with 2009! Stating the challenges of the year were more than most years they have encountered.

Overall my year was a positive one- with many challenges but also times that the music really bubbled to the surface and sometimes pickin’ “hotter than a cat on a hot tin roof!”

January 4th was my birthday- and I was totally in awe of the emails and messages left for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your heartfelt wishes! Had the chance to play a very special “birthday set” at The Mill in Iowa City for the last 1/2 hour of my birthday- with it being so cold here lately, I needed something to do so that cabin fever does not settle into my 5-string!

With a brand new year and unlimited possibilities- We forge ahead with no signs of slowing down! Happy 2010 everyone- I sure hope your ever wish comes TRUE!

Banjoistically yours,

Jon Eric

Would be delighted if you would come to this event.

For such a worthy cause!
