We‘re wondering if
McDonalds is scoping out Lola‘s cinnamon rolls and
thinking about adding them as a featured item as part of their ―home baked‖ offerings. Thanks Lola!
Back by popular demand is the Dutch Oven cooking. We
will be doing this event on Bluegrass weekend (4th weekend in January). Come watch the boys
at play as they use their experience to

Triple Creek Jam Shack needs your help. Just like everyone
else, we are being affected by the hard economic times. It has
always been a balancing act to keep Triple Creek Jam Shack
going in the black, but in recent months the balance hasn’t been
so good. The crowds have been good, the shows have been
great, the jams have been good, but the balance sheet has been
out of balance.
Like that cup of coffee? Enjoy the lights being on whenever
you need them to be? Like to have the kitchen available? Your
donations are what keeps the Jam Shack going. Donate to the
Pink Pig when you can.

Triple Creek RV Music Park
You asked for them!
Triple Creek RV is now a dealer for
Blueridge Guitars!!!
And we have a nice selection that will be available at the park starting next week: All are in Superior
hard cases with plush lining
BR-160
CD-1510 – this one seems to be the favorite of several of our musicians!
BR-70
CD-1510 – beautiful gold tuners! As well as great sound – this is the one that
Richard Langley has been playing lately!
BR-343
CD-1514 – 000-14 Gospel Guitar! Beautiful inlay work! Now available in full-size
dreadnaught as well!! (Also in stock!!)
Finally finished! Hope to deliver it before Christmas. I ordered the wrong case and I`m waiting
delivery on the correct one. Wrong case? good excuse to start another instrument to fill it!
The wood is sycamore with bloodwood bindings & back strip. Ebony fret board and peghead
overlay. Quarterman cone and Beard # 14 cast aluminum spider. Sounds great!
No I`ve not changed my name! The customer wanted his name on the peghead so that`s what
we did. I have my tag visable through the "falling leafs"
sound hole.
Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

Eric and Mary Harris have been visiting us for several
years now. They just stayed with us for a month and
have move on now for the season. They went with
Karen to perform on the weekly radio show where we
promote Triple Creek and let the surrounding
neighbors know more about us.
We always look forward to your brief stay, and can‘t
wait until you come back next year.
Every weekend the phone starts ringing. We have the same questions, and here are the typical
conversations that occur weekend after weekend:
Q—Are you having music this weekend?
A—This is Triple Creek, we have music EVERY weekend of the year, including all holidays.
Q—What time do you start playing?
A—We have our pot luck supper at 5:00 and we usually start playing around 6:00 when everyone is finished eating.
Q—Well, who is going to be there this weekend?
A—We never know who is coming, but there is always a group, and we always have fun.
Q—What is the charge to get in?
A—Just a smile on your face. We don’t charge...

Triple Creek “LIVE” on KWUD radio.
Radio has often been considered one of the most personal forms of media. It brings the business to the people
right in the comfort of their very own homes.
Karen is now talking on KWUD radio every Friday morning between 8:30 - 9:00 am. We‘re trying to get the
word out about all the good things going on at Triple Creek & the existence of Bluegrass music.. She might even
ask you to join her and play some music on the air! Thanks to Oscar Lyons, Charles Glenn, and Dean
Bartholomew for doing that very thing on the Friday before Thanksgiving!
Karen talks about the specific instrumentation, and how Bluegrass has a distinguishing characteristic of featuring
two, three, or four parts harmony. Unlike mainstream country music, bluegrass is traditionally played on acoustic
stringed instruments. The fiddle, five-string banjo, guitar, mandolin, and upright bass are often joined by the
resonator guitar (also referred to as a Dobro) and harmonica.
We hope Alvin‘s Blue grass jokes show up on radio!
Mary and her auto harp were here again this year.
Just to let you know, we often overlook the most obvious. It
was Mary who suggested that we put up the ―White board‖ at
the Jam Shack to notify people of times and events. The
board is just what we needed, because word of mouth was
not always working efficiently. Thanks for a great idea Mary.
We have a suggestion box inside the Jam Shack for other
great ideas. Please share your thoughts with us.
BIRTHDAYS
We are collecting birthdays (only the month), so we can
celebrate birthday‘s once a month. Sign up next time you
are in the Jam Shack.
For our monthly birthday celebration, we have cake and
ice cream. Our celebration is held after the big meal on
Bluegrass weekend. Come join in the fun.

New Year‘s Eve Party
The New Year‘s party and dance here at Triple Creek was an absolute blast. We all danced the night away and
brought in the new year as we watched events on the BIG screen. Thanks to Reuben, Brad & Kit for the
wonderful dance music they provided for the evening. They are also know as the ―Sawhorse Cowboys‖… Be
sure and come out next year as we do it all again.

2012, the year of the hats
Rob walked in with his cute little hat,
and soon the entire crowd had to follow. We dug deep, and came out with
our most clever creations. Chuck was
sporting his that has some 30 years of
vintage on it.
Doylene was surely looking sharp in
her Daniel Boone coon skin cap. It
just made for a very interesting evening.

We hope all of you know Eddy, but did you know that his
buddy Leo lives out here at Triple Creek too. Just come out
early on the weekend, and you‘ll see Leo pleasing all the kids as
they go for rides. Welcome Leo
Always remember that we have two
40’ Park Models (mobile homes)
available for long or short term
rental. They are perfect for a
Snowbird, or someone needing
temporary housing.
Come live with us at Triple Creek.
Its Time for those Banjo Jokes
Q: What is the difference between a banjo and a South American Macaw?
A: One is loud, obnoxious and noisy; the other is a bird.
Q: What is the difference between a banjo and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle?
A: You can tune a Harley.
Q: What is the difference between a banjo and an Uzi submachine gun?
A: An Uzi only repeats 40 times.
Our Favorite Native:
Pileated Woodpicker!!
Q: Why does everyone hate a banjo right off?
A: Saves time.
Notice he is playing a guitar...
Q: Why is the banjo player a fiddle player's best friend?
A: Without him, the fiddle would be the most hated instrument on earth.
Q: How can you tell the difference between all the banjo songs?
A: By their names.
Q: What is the most seldom heard comment made of banjo players?
A: "Say, isn't that the banjo player's Porsche?"
Q: What do you say to the banjo player in the three piece suit?
A: Will the defendant please rise.

Ken Coates is available for all your RV repairs. Come stay with us at
Triple Creek, while Ken performs your needed repairs. Ken can do
just about type of repairs needed on any brand RV, from major to
minor. The roof on your RV is
a vital piece of protection, and
is often neglected. Have Ken

seams are properly caulked and
can keep out that moisture that will cause costly body rot. Ken does a lot of
roof replacement jobs, because of caulking that has gone bad. He accepts
insurance & warranty jobs too! If you will call Ken and tell him what your
problem is, and when you will be at Triple Creek, Ken will come to your site

We would like feedback and Bluegrass articles from our readers. Tidbits or article(s) can be: an
amusing quote; reviews of festivals or music conventions; behind the scenes reports of bands;
technical; RV & campground reviews; or anything you feel would be of interest to Bluegrass
enthusiasts. Articles may span more than one issue, and full credit will be given.
Thanks to the people that wrote in after the last letter with comments:
Dave & Judy Zent—David is doing very well. They are staying well & warm.
Dale Mitchell— WOW! This news letter is turning into a real work of art! ( maybe I should say Mark!) And this
month it opened right up full of good news about my favorite weekend destination. Ol` "shoeless" Mark will soon be
shod as I plan to bring him some shoes since winter seems to be setting in. One thing I noticed: All the notices are
prefaced with "Don`t forget----" Do some of you folks have a problem remembering? Yo pickin` buddy, Dale
Carl Stump—Stump left a 3 wheeled bicycle here, and we gave it to a local needy couple. We then wrote Stump to
tell him about his good deed. ―That‘s beautiful…. I (we) appreciate your thoughtfulness (always have). Anyway, I
do miss Texas and am looking to get there before spring. As you know, house in Hinkley is history and I‘m undecided on Cameo. I might trade in for water touring!!!! Who knows???
Gerry Griffin— Thanks Marc! We enjoyed our stay. Everyone made us feel right at home. We'll be back.
Lazydouble L Ranch (Tom & Pauline) - Have been trying to get over there to see and visit ya'll. Do you still have
my special handicap place ready? Yes, your ―special‖ spot is ready. We keep that spot open year round just for you,
so please come fill it again.
Doug and Rachel—Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. We hope to come see you soon.
Betty & Lloyd Dotson — Hi, This is Betty Dotson, tell JoAnn and Dean "Hello" for us. Love getting your Newsletter, planning on coming up in January when Bill and Lynda are there. BTW, for all of you that don‘t know, Betty
and Lloyd live in Silsbee (about 20 miles away). They said they are going to make the entire trip to Triple Creek in
one day.

same thing. Therefore please send in your suggestions. The best suggestions will be posted along the dirt road.

Original Bass
This is the tub bass that Karen saw while traveling in New York State. It is the basic model. Moving the
"pump handle" up and down is what gives the bass the different pitches. The neck of this fine instrument is
short enough to allow you to set down and play. This item comes in a cardboard box ready for your assembly, which is pretty much straight forward.
If you are interested in purchasing such a refined instrument such as this, contact Karen , and she will tell you
all the details.
Deluxe Model
This is the model that Karen has for herself. It can be seen in action here at the Creek almost any time there
is music played.

retirement, and all of you are making our dream come true.

BINGO
Are you interested in playing BINGO? We host a ―White
Elephant‖ BINGO every Monday evening. Just bring any
White Elephant that you have laying around and donate as a
prize. Its not only a great way to have fun, but its also a
wonderful way to get rid of those little things around the
house that just need to go.
Triple Creek‘s Work campers
Rob & Tonya will be leaving us this month. They are moving on, but we will surely miss them. You will still be
able to order those famous pens that Rob makes by emailing him. He will send those pens from wherever they
are. We wish them great adventures in their future travels and surely hope that we see them again here at Triple
Creek.
We know Ms Audrey will certainly miss Tonya, as Tonya was the person who constantly cleaned on the Jam Shack and was picking up trash
around the park. Tonya was instrumental in installing more of the
flowerbeds that we see around here. The flowerbeds will exist long
after they are gone. We will remember you, but you‘ll be able to keep
track of your friends through the very famous Triple Creek newsletter.
Triple Creek‘s Work campers
Please welcome John & Christine.
These two came in for a weekend, and now will be staying on as Work
campers. They have already been part of almost everything going on,
and certainly do fit in. You‘ll love Christine, as her email address is
Loves2cook. Now what does that tell you about her?
John has some wonderful ideas of things he wants to get done around here, and we welcome his energy. Look for
some great things to come! In fact. John is quite the outdoorsman. He and Gery have started work on the nature
trail that was in poor shape after the hurricanes. They have started clearing the trail, and will soon start rebuilding
the bridges. Look for a wonderful nature trail to be opened up again. If I‘m not wrong, I believe that Charles
Glenn initially developed the trail, and will probably have a hand in re-opening it. We can‘t wait for the results.
Spring is coming John, get er‘ going!

Well, here are the two proud mechanics. What you see
in the background is the old jeep that has been around
here for years, but was abandoned. Well, with a little bit
of love, and a few parts, its up and running again. Apparently, this jeep has some Triple Creek history, so its
back to life again as it has joined the family one more
time.
On the first day out, these two ventured the
―treacherous‖ mountains all the way over to the barn
and back. They were victorious. Congratulations to
both John and Gery on their major feat!

Anne have returned for another year, and we're very
excited to have such a celebrity in our midst.
16
GOT BREAKFAST?
Ms Audrey puts together this country breakfast every time
she knows a crowd is a‘ comin‘. Biscuits & gravy, eggs,
sausage, bacon, grits, potatoes and plenty of coffee and
juice. She also serves home made jellies and jams.
Ms Audrey asks that you support her cooking habit with
financial donations so she can keep buying food and cooking. Dudley really likes it when she cooks, so please throw
some money in Audrey‘s bucket that is on the counter. Her cookin‘ is mmm, mmm good.
CHAIRS FOR SALE
The last of the great thinkers
We‘re not sure what Gary was thinking about, but he was caught in
action here. By the way, we have many of these chairs for sale.
Price of the chairs was $5.00 each, but we need to make room, so
they are now $1.00. Please see Bob Honey, and he will make you one
'Honey‖ of a deal on the chairs that we have left.
Notice, your chair will not come equipped with a great thinker.
Marc‘s GREAT PUMPKIN. Well, it all started out as a bet. A friend of Marc‘s bet him as to who could grow
the biggest pumpkin. Here it is in the back of Karen‘s golf cart. It‘s a true prize. We plan on getting the seeds
out of it and replanting next year. With a little fertilizer, mulch and lots of love, we expect this years GREAT
PUMPKIN to be even bigger and grander.
Oh and the bet….well Marc won. You see the
friend‘s pumpkin patch was invaded by bugs and as
the pumpkins were starting to get ripe, the bugs ate
the stems and their pumpkins
never finished growing.
17
Custom Pens
Handmade – one at a time
These pens are hand-crafted here at Triple Creek RV Music Park. Other options and pen styles with a variety
of wood and acrylic are available. Great for graduation, Christmas, gifts, etc. Laser engraving is also available
for personalized items.
See Rob McDonald for details.
Bullet Pen with Camo - $25.00
Bullet Pen with Antler - $30.00
PROBLEM:
The beautiful ―Texas‖ pen pictured above was borrowed from the Jam Shack during the Thanksgiving
festivities… If you meant to pay for it and left without doing so, please contact the park ASAP so we
can clear up this problem. If you took it with some other intent, you are part of the problem that needs
to be cleared up to keep the Jam Shack going!
It has never before been an issue to leave any thing at the park in the Jam Shack — instruments, etc.
However, recently there have been multiple items turn up missing. We would hate to need to start locking the building and causing discomfort for everyone due to the sticky fingers of a few.
IF IT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU, LEAVE IT ALONE! PLEASE!!!
If you see something going on that you feel could be related to this problem, please let Karen or Marc or
one of the Workampers know ASAP!

FOR SALE AT TRIPLE CREEK
Karen and Marc have decided to sell our Airstream Travel Trailer. Its
here in the park, so take a look at it. This is a classic Airstream, with
its very unique lines. Although we will be selling this, we will still
have the two park models for rent.
Vintage Airstreams have enjoyed a recent rise in popularity as people
look back to simpler, less hectic times—escaping the cheap throw
away quality that exists today—seeking instead the high quality
―Machine Age‖ design and craftsmanship of the early Airstreams.
Allen said his boat, motor and trailer need to go. Pictured here is what
he is ready to sell. Take a look at it, and please realize that if you buy
it, you must bring fish here for all of us to enjoy. We keep things like
this in the family.
Be your own boss, buy your own dump truck. All you gear
jamming‘ diesel demons will just love having this beast
around the place. Take a look at this workhorse. Its ready
to go to your place and start working.
You have seen it running around Triple Creek for years now,
but we‘re ready to move on to something else. This can be
yours! See Marc for a great deal.
Here is another Triple Creek maintenance item that we‘re ready to sell.
It too is ready to go. Just hook on to it, and start hauling what ever you
need. Electric over hydraulic dump makes hauling your load just as easy
as turning a switch. Don‘t miss this, as it too will soon be leaving for a
new home.

I never made a fortune
Its probably too late now
Oh, but I don‘t worry about that much
‗Cause I‘m happy anyhow
As I go along life‘s journey
I‘m reaping better than I sowed
I‘m drinking from my saucer
―Cause my cup has overflowed
Ain‘t got a lot of riches
Sometimes the going‘s rough
But I‘ve got a friend in Jesus
And that makes me rich enough
I thank God for all his Blessings on me
And the mercy that He‘s bestowed
I‘m drinking from my saucer
―Cause my cup has overflowed
Oh sure, I‘ve been thru some storms
And yes, I‘m sure there were times when my
Well, my Faith must have got a little thin
But you know what it seemed like
One day all at once, those dark clouds broke
And that old sun, she started shinin‘ again.
So Lord, help me not to grumble and complain
About the tough rows I have hoed
I‘m drinking from my saucer
―Cause my cup has overflowed
And if I should go on living
If the way gets steep and rough
I won‘t ask for other Blessings
―Cause I‘m already Blessed enough
May I never be too busy
To help another bear his load
And I‘ll keep drinking from my saucer, Lord
―Cause my cup has overflowed
Yes, I‘ll keep drinking‘ from my saucer, Lord
―Cause my cup has overflowed.
