Bring your own liquor.  Set-ups sold.   Jam is not just for players so audience welcomed and appreciated.

PLEASE READ:  SIGN UP SHEET NEAR THE DOOR.  FIND ME, BRECK(MY SHIRT SAYS SO), WHEN YOU COME IN.    FULL BANDS WILL HAVE A 2 SONG LIMIT THEN JOIN THE JAM IF YOU WANT TO..

SINGER-SONGWRITERS/DUO’S/

BANDS: If you want your own stage time alone then Tuesday night is Open Mic night with Michael Martinez-8:30ish.

IN HOUSE EQUIPMENT:  Drums, PA W/SPEAKERS,  New Shure 58 MICS,  BASS AMP&GUITAR,  CASIO PX-400R DIGITAL PIANO w/ 88 Full Size Keys (one plastic pedal; Bring your own pedals and amp if you prefer-or hook to PA).

HOUSE BAND: JEFF GRANT ON GUITAR,  DICK ROSS ON DRUMS,   NYKKY DANTE SUBBING FOR JACK FUNN ON BASS.
Bring what you need and don’t expect to borrow anyone’s amp/guitar. Amps are usually shared by graciousness of others but guitars are kinda personal.

ANDY CRIPE/TIM DONNELY playing 7-8.   Andy plays acoustic old time blues and some of his own favorites.  Tim harps along beautifully. Come relax and get ready for the rowdy stuff.

LADIES:   Boys will be boys; they just like to make lots of noise with their toys.  Come step up and tell ‘em how it is!  “I am one of the occasional gals that shows up and I must say, the Sam’s Townpoint Blues Jam is the friendliest bunch of guys I have ever jammed with.  MJ”.

FOOD INFO: Kitchen closed Mondays.  Mary will come up with something to eat though–probably her  famous beans.  Make it pot luck–bring sumthin’!

I do reserve the right to harp along with “Stormy Monday” anytime it comes around.  The rest of the night is yours.
No whining!
PEACE Y’ALL
