May Royal Mile Jam - Carry on without me

It looks like I'll be on travel to Colorado for work that first Sunday in May, and will miss the May Royal Mile jam. But don't let that stop you from coming, playing some tunes, drinking some beer, and having loads of fun!

If someone thinks to write down the tune list, forward it to me and I'll post it here.
