Some very important things I'd like to point out/remind everyone:
For every Rick you bring/intend to display, bring a guitar stand for it! Do not put your guitar someone else's stand without first asking, The stand might be empty because that person's Rick is being played.
Be courteous with your stage time. Do not hog the stage. The guitar amp you are plugged into is not yours for the day!.
Another way to be courteous with your stage tine is, please do not waste time on the stage. If you need to familiarize yourself with getting a particular sound from a guitar you're not accustomed to, DO THAT IN THE DISPLAY ROOM, not on the stage! Also you can ask the owners of the amps and gear on stage how to best dial in a certain sound.
If you are on the stage too long or you are wasting a lot of valuable time time on stage, you will be kindly asked to get off.
Add your name to the song list. Add your name several times, because realize that there is no way to make these things go perfectly and not every song on the list will be played.
There may be songs that are not on the list that get played.
To the people who are shy about their playing - the jam is not a talent contest and do not compare your skill to someone who has been playing a bunch of songs for many years or to a group of guys who have played the song together several times. It's a jam. Songs at jams do not usually get played perfectly. Don't worry about it. Just get in on the jams and have some fun.
You may see my name on several bass slots of the song sheet. I'm not being a stage hog, just trying to help fill up the sheet. If there is any particular song that I have my name down for, that someone else would to play bass on, just let me know, it's yours...well, there might be one or two that I won't give up!
If anyone if the So Cal area has a drummer friend that is willing to lend a drum kit for the day, please let us know.
