Week #29: “The Eagle Flies On Friday” Jam at Sam’s Town Point on Friday, Jan 22, ‘10
READ THIS: It’s a Jam so it’s a song consensus among the players on stage at the time. It’s a Jam, not a band or personal showcase(See Open Mic below). We’re not asking you to be a ”pro” but, please, this is not “American Idol”. Learn your instrument then come learn to jam.
We will help those who are learning how to jam with others and who will take direction (tune it up–know the key—turn it down–listen to the band, etc) . Think about how many songs you want to do before you do endless soloing. Not everyone has to solo on every song. Then the group may end up doing only two songs. Share the vocals if there are two singers. Don’t blow the audience out the doors. Volume doesn’t make it better, only louder.
PLEASE READ: SIGN UP SHEET NEAR THE DOOR. First signed up, first served. Find me, Breck, or a house band member, 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(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. The house band will open the jam up with a few songs.
SINGER-SONGWRITERS/DUO’S/BANDS:If you want your own stage time alone then Tuesday night is OPEN MIC with Mike Welch–now the Tuesday Open Mic host–and with his technical expertise he will make you sound good. Come check it out. 8:30pm.
Sam’s: 282-0083. 2115 Allred Dr. 78748(In the woods across from HEB center @ Manchaca & Slaughter. South @light @McDonalds on Slaughter. First left (fire station on left). “Up around the bend”;club on right.) Go slow–watch for deer(I’m not kidding). Google the address for map.
FOOD INFO: Kitchen not open at present. Bring what you want, have something ordered in, or wait to see if the pizza guy wanders in.
