Me

I have about 8 more strong "maybes" from the Facebook invitation I posted. I've also posted the event on the RIC forum, and invited a couple of other local RIC forum members who aren't RRF members. It should be a good time.

Drums: Rich's friend Robert, and once again, my friend Paul Sakry should arrive at 2:30 or 3 PM to play some drums, just like last time.

The location again:
So Cal Minicon in the OC, Saturday March 14th, noon to 8 PM at Backline Rehearsal Studios in Garden Grove, CA.
Backline is located at:
7251 Garden Grove Blvd Garden Grove, CA 92841 - (714) 895-7345

Once again, I was only able to obtain a mere $/2 off per hour, so our total bill for the 8 hour block is $200.
Thanks all, look forward to playing some music with everyone again.

Invite a friend or bandmate if you like.

Oh, and by the way, it's time to for each of us to put that all important list together again and start refreshing our individual memories.

Paul --- from that list you started at the Janaury MiniCon Jam, as well as remembering a few we did at the Thanksgiving MiniCon Jam and from Gary's list ---- here is a partial listing I compiled. Guys -- the memory is not perfect, so I know there's lots more tunes that were played. And if I forgot to list one of your favorites - I apologize. And I had to leave a little early, the last time so whatever was played at the end, you guys will have to add and delete.... and if I listed the wrong key, please revise it. I remember Kenny was suggesting whole sides of Beatles albums... Anway hope its helpful for sharing ideas to get everyone started on their warming up...

Also, we did the Jam's In the City. I'd like to play some other Jam songs: http://www.azchords.com/j/jam-1965.html

And I'd like to play a number or two from early `80s LA Power Popsters the Plimsouls-whole lotta 12 string content:

Our drumming friend Paul would like to play "Zero Hour" by the Plimsouls. Here's the link to the group's My Space page, which the studio version of the song can be heard at: http://www.myspace.com/plimsouls

B U M P ! ! ! !

Twelve days and counting down. Don't forget to cajole/invite your-non forum member fellow Rickenbacker players, power pop lovers, and guitar nuts. I can't wait! Practice those chops everyone!

any sort of pre-minicon practice jam planned?

By the way, I think we are coming up with our own dictionary here!

I could go for getting together. Last time, Graham, Rich and I got together at my place. Joey and I have gotten together as well, so we could have a low volume practice jam at my place.

So would that be a preminipractijam?

Is that the right key for a song that starts on an E chord?

I still have about 8 more strong "maybes" from the Facebook invitation I posted. As mentined previously, I've also posted the event on the RIC forum, and invited a couple of other local RIC forum members who aren't RRF members. In addition, I found some local Rickenbacker fans on My Space and invited them as well.

Drums: Rich's friend Robert, and once again, my friend Paul Sakry should arrive at 2:30 or 3 PM to play some drums, just like last time. Collin's inviting one of his drummer pals as well.

By the way, who's up for a low volume "practijam" warm up or two with some of the material? I'm available most evening and weekend nights. It's only ten days away...yes, Kenny, I know; you're opposed on principle to practicing for jam sessions, but the more the rest of us are able to execute songs in their entirety, the fewer chords you'll have to call out in mid-song while we're playing.

[s4001]

I just found out my son has a talent show rehearsal that afternoon. I'll only be able to be there from noon til about two-ish.

[Danotron]

I'd like to try and get together for a "pre-jam jam"

You're right --- there's probably a few more that I wrote down the wrong key.... probably got them that way from some erroneous downloaded Tabs that were posted somewhere
Sorry for the confusion...

Paul --- that's a classic explanation !
