 at Sam’s Town Point on Friday, July 23, 2010.  
Every Friday.  8:35-11:57.  Open Jam–except rap/metal/grunge–usually blues/classic rock but who knows.

  HOUSE BAND this Friday:  Jeff Grant on guitar/vocals, Mike Graves on bass/vocals, and Dick Ross on drums/chicken(you gotta be there to know).
 
It’s a Jam so it’s a song consensus among the players on stage at the time.  It’s a Jam, not a personal showcase (See Open Mic below).    PLEASE READ: SIGN UP SHEET NEAR THE DOOR.  First signed up, first served(Rotated in the mix).   Bring what you need to play(a guitar and an amp?). 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 toothbrush. 
IN HOUSE EQUIPMENT: Drums, PA w/speakers, mics, bass amp & guitar, Casio PX-400R Digital Piano w/ 88 Full Size Keys.
SINGER-SONGWRITERS/DUO’S/BANDS: If you want your own stage time alone then Tuesday night is OPEN MIC with Mike Welch.  Come check it out.  Sign up begins at 8pm.  Starts at 8:30.
SAM’S: 282-0083. 2115 Allred Dr. 78748  In the woods across from HEB center @ Manchaca & Slaughter.  Go south @light @McDonalds in front of HEB center on Slaughter.  First left (fire station on left).

STP Jam  #138.12 at Sam’s Town Point on July 21, 2010.  No Cover!  Audience welcome and very much appreciated—we never know who will walk in and play!  That’s what makes jams so magical.   Support jams—they are all over town—variety show entertainment!   Please tip well–most house bands are playing for minimal compensation.

This is NOT AN OPEN MIC but a friendly JAM. If you are respectful of others and their playing time/abilities, get up to play then get down when someone else should play then this will be for you. This is not designed for a whole band or one person to play most of the time. It is for musicians to meet musicians and learn from each other. It is to perfect your “chops”.   It is for networking.    Be respectful of Sam’s and don’t “blow them out the doors”.   This applies to Wed and Fridays.  It will not be strictly a “pro” nor an “American Idol” jam but hopefully somewhere in between.  I hope all who participate (house band and jammers) can take this to heart.  It doesn’t mean a player can be loud or horrible and keep playing more songs either,  but if a song doesn’t go the way someone wants and it’s over, what good does it do to berate anyone about it?   Offer civil comments and suggestions or tell them to step down if necessary and then explain.  It’s a friendly jam!   Miss ya Cronk & Klein.  Thanks Jimi Lee and others for your support in the early beginnings of The Jam almost three years ago. 

 House Band this Wed: Jeff Grant, guitar/vocals; Mikel Graves on bass; Joe Bliskey, drums.

See previous postings below for Jam details.
