We had a really awesome blues jam this past Monday(Every Monday)!  Now Friday’s coming up and time to party after a Thanksgiving day with the out-laws running around your hacienda.
8:35-11:57pm. Open genre except Grunge/Metal/Rap. It could be CSN&Y, Santana, R&B, blues, Traffic, Norman Greenbaum, Beatles, Bee Gees, polka or jazz for all I care. It’s an Open Jam so it’s a song consensus among the players on stage at the time.  It’s a Jam, not a band showcase.  Do not hop up on stage without my approval. Thanks. 
PLEASE READ: SIGN UP SHEET NEAR THE DOOR. First signed up, first served. Find me, Breck, when you come in. If you show up past 10:30 you may or may not play depending on how many have signed up ahead of you.

Bring what you need to play. Leave your amp in the vehicle if you want but be prepared to bring it in if needed. Amps may be shared by the graciousness of others but guitars are as personal as a tooth brush.   
HOUSE BAND this Friday: Past, present, and part-time members of “Sonny and The Starfires”.  Featuring the rockabilly blues boy: Wild Man JAMES MERIDETH on guitar/vocals; and on bass(stand up and elect.)CASEY GILL(THE BARBER BASS MAN); and on drums is LARRY HARBOR.

Y’all come out ya hear!
No Cover.

Friday 11/20 Comment from Laura: The music last Wednesday was totally awesome. MJ not only plays the piano supurbly with great groove, she also must have some kind of internal metronome — because her tempo (while of course different with every song) is rock solid. What a great band leader and how lucky are the people who she invites to play with her? They get to play and learn from her at the same time! Did I mention that she can and does play in all genres — not to mention writing her own songs. Come see her — you will not be disappointed.
