Skip, if you (or anyone else) needs a bass player, I know all but two of these songs. Just let me know what songs need a bass player and I'll try a learn them. Of course, deferring to Joey and Tom O'keefe.

Pat

Pat and/or Tom, go right ahead and play these. I'm sure I'll have plenty of playing time, which most likely includes two different pre-organized groups.

Regarding Mark Neill and me doing some Country, Rockabilly, etc. He's got a great voice, so I envision some Roy Orbison, Everly Bros., etc.

Ooh, just noticed this. If you can, compile a song wish list. That ought to make some guys salivate and want to join in.
I'd love to hear some 50s stuff at a Rick jam. You'd never know it from looking at me now, but I love rockabilly, and my hair naturally pompadours, if I let it.

Hmm, no one seems to want to take the reins for a Beatles segment. Surprising!

I'm up to taking a shot at "Nowhere Man". It didn't sound half-bad at the jam at Gary's.

I have an email in to Mark now to see about getting together to work on a set list.
Pat and Tom-go for it! First come, first serve! Sign up for the song or songs you want (I assume you both play bass). And David-which songs do you want?
I am open to adding or substituting other songs if you have suggestions.
Skip

OK, here's what I have so far:

Surf Song List :
Apache-datru, lead (or split lead with someone)
Pipeline-datru, lead (or split lead with someone)
Walk, Don't Run-datru, rhythm
Penetration-datru, rhythm
Out of Limits-datru, rhythm
Wipe Out-datru, rhythm
Rawhide (Link Wray-not TV Show theme)-datru, rhythm
Rumble-datru, rhythm
Rebel Rouser- datru, rhythm

Pat (pehayes)-go ahead and sign up for what you want to play. You didn't mention the two songs you don't know.

Here's the plan:
I'd like to have 4-6 guys play on each song. I will play only if needed to "fill out" the lineup. I want to expand my horizons.
Feel free to suggest additions and/or substitutions. I will make the final determination based on members interest.
Depending on how many people sign up, I may decide to limit the number of songs each guy will play on, but for now, it's wide open.
Come on guys-it will be fun.

There's a request to play U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name." Vito, do you know the guitar on that one?

Small World Band is welcome as well, by the way.

The KARMA Kings does that song!

Make sure the bassist drops his E string to D. And, most of the bass line is played on the A string going as high as the 17th fret for that high D. No need for the D or G strings on that song.

Pat or Tom can play these with you. There are some other songs I'd like to play with you, that I know you play. They include:
Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress
Tighten Up
Groovin"

Hmm, no one seems to want to take the reins for a Beatles segment. Surprising!

Maybe because we seem to play the same predictable Beatles songs every the time.

[paologregorio]

We've branched out a bit; we played "Slow Down" last couple of jams, and another one not ventured into before. "I Feel Fine" would be cool as well. As long as its not from "Magical Mystery Tour" or "Abbey Road", or "Number 9(ha try playing that one live LOL!)" I'd probably be okay with it, unless it's "Hey Jude" or "Eleanor Rigby." I know, sacrilege, right?

Gentlemen and ladies: if you want your band to play, please pick a slot, or it will be all jamming; we have a lot of attendees who are itching to play more songs!

I love you (Ricken) brother!
I'm on board IF Steve T. will sing "Long Cool Woman" and the high part on "Groovin'". We'll wing it on "Tighten Up". You ARE the COOLEST!

I'll take lead guitar and low vocals on "I feel Fine". Guitar with your 330-6 of course.
No way I'll "head up" a Beatles jam. This is only my second function! I learned George's parts "note for note" on "All My Lovin'" and "I Call Your Name" when I played in the trib band "Daytripper", but I'll be damned if I remember them now!

Okay, what other cool '60's tunes do you have up your sleeve?

Has anyone pointed out the irony of the California gathering being the one most strictly organized???

Has anyone pointed out the irony of the California gathering being the one most strictly organized???

Yeah, the politicians are driving California off the rails like a crazy train, with their election mudslinging and the State Treasurer is writing IOUs that bounce .... but the Rickenbacker enthusiasts setting up a jam session across the street from a horse racing track, are going to bring order out of California's chaos !!!

We’ve got approx four bands and 30+ Jammers and a stage that will hold maybe 6 musicians at a time…. And we’re just trying to figure out a way to rotate folks, so nobody has to wait hours and hours to get to play their favorite songs. What we need is a sophisticated computer program, with a highly scientific matrix, that will align up batches of songs with drummers, bassists, rhythm guitarists, lead guitarists, singers and a keyboardist (or two) and calculate who already played and who didn’t and who likes Oldies and who likes New stuff….. is there an “Excel for Confluences” ?

Alternatively, we can do it deli-counter style and everybody take a number and wait till you hear “Next” called out !

That might not be a bad idea!

Skip ----

We've got both your Surf/Instrumental Jam segment(s) and your Rockabilly Band performance covered for drumming with Dave D of the Byrds Collective sitting in !

As the Surf coordinator (Chief LifeGuard ? ) you arrange things with Pat H and Ross, Tom, Joey and Scotty and maybe another Bassist who works in Santa Ana, on who's covering the Bass notes on which Surf tunes

[elreydlp]

Dave D from The Byrds Collective will be handling drums for the Surf Jam. If you also play drums (Steve T., Colin?????) and want to play on some Sruf songs, let me know. I'm sure Dave wouldn't mind a break. He's also kindly consented to handle the Drums for my Band set. Thanks again, Dave & Rich.
