I play guitar when my wife and I go camping and love to play Gospel music. I play Contemporary Christian and Southern Gospel as well as hymns. I camp mainly not North and South Carolina.
Thanks for any responses. We are new to this site and have been camping for about 5 years now. We upgraded from a 23 ft travel trailer to a class B+ in November 2011. We hope to go full time in a few years when we retire.

I play guitar and sing. I also write all my own material. I traveled a few years on the country gospel circuit. After three cd's and a lot of miles I gave that up. I'm thoroughly at home on stage, but discovered that I hated the networking that goes with that lifestyle. I have always enjoyed just playing to be playing, but when money comes into the picture, just count me out. After I retired my wife and I bought an rv and began to travel three or four months a year, I started keeping an eye out for jam sessions in the parks that we passed through. I set in when I can. In the meantime, when we go, so does my Taylor guitar.

I just play now and then at home and take my guitar when we camp. I enjoy playing but wouldn't want to do it full time. I think it would take the enjoyment our of it.

Hey David, yes I love to play and sing gospel music, southern gospel, not so much into the new stuff. I play in Church every Sunday that we are at home. Just came back from near Columbia Tn. Stayed at an RV park at exit 46 on Interstate 65, had a really nice stage, where I played and sang, all by myself! Couldn't scare up any one else

Here's a link for the park:

Several people dropped by and listened and applauded, makes you feel good. Don't know if you are familiar with "Joey and Rory" they have a TV show on Dish RFD tv Wednesday nights at 5

m or you can google them. They live down in this area, really nice people.
Anyhoo, Marcy Jo, Rory's sister has a restaurant down at the end of Bear Creek Pike (99). South on I-65 exit 46 at the bottom of the ramp turn left go about 5 miles at the T you are staring at Marcy Jo's Meal house, we sure enjoyed our breakfast's and dinner there. Don't judge the book by its cover, you will be surprised. And get a piece of Elvis Cake MMMMM GOOOOOD as Gomer used to say

Would post a picture but they are on my laptop, if there is interest, I will post one later. BTW, I have a Gibson Studio, and a couple of different amps, a Roland Street cube that will run off batteries or ac, also take a couple of mic's, stands and music stands with me, also have a peavey mp-4 (older mixing amp 4 positions) instruments or vocals, and a couple of Audio Choice sound tech speakers on heavy duty stage stands, these have 10" speakers with horns.
Now if things are really serious, I might have my Fender telecaster, (Blackface) and my EJ 200 Jumbo by Epiphone and my Fender Precision Bass, not bragging just what I do. Love to play and sing, write my music (gospel) and sing the old hymns. I'm not that good and always willing to learn something new, still learning at 70 years young

Keep Playing.
