We began on February 19th, 2006 at Brentwood Tavern
and have continued at Waterloo Ice House since Feb. 2008
Next jam -- Sept 19 2010
7:00pm to 10:00pm
After that... Oct 3 and Oct 17... same time, same place.
RULES
OF THE JAM
1.
We'll play all standards - country standards in this
case... I have a BIG book of number charts, and a BIGGER book of lyrics.
2.
I ask vocalist to sing one of the suggested tunes so we
don't wind up struggling through obscure tunes that nobody knows, and
therefore are not fun to jam on. If someone wants to do a tune that I
don't have, but should have, I'll write up a chart, get the lyrics and
add it to the book next time. That way, the book grows over time.
3.
Everyone should bring his or her own instrument -- I
love to jam, but I really don't like to share my geetar -- it's a very
personal item! On the other hand, there will be guitar and bass amps, a
snare drum, PA, mics, and T has indicated he'll share his piano (he's a
much more generous guy than I, I guess.)
4.
I'll play the entire evening, call solos, help direct the band, and keep
the tunes flowing. Other than that, how long you play depends upon
how many folks show up for that instrument.
5.
The jam will be INSIDE or on the patio.
6.
This is a LOW VOLUME thing... seriously... small amps,
small PA, brushes, etc. and hopefully everyone understands if I
occasionally ask someone to lower the level... believe me, keeping it
quiet makes it LOTS more fun for everyone.
