Can you?! I think it's mandatory! Kira & Co. are trying to "herd cats" here.

Meow. MEOWR!

Yes, Robert, do come if you can! It will be nice to see you.

Going thrice! I'm going to go ahead and book both rooms for the 24th of July.

Okay, it is now officially written in stone:

We're booked for Saturday, the 24th of July, from 12 noon to 8 PM at Music Spectrum Studios here in San Rafael. We've got both rooms, one of which comes with a drum kit and PA for the jamming and/or special guests, and the other to be used for drooling over guitars and socializing. Stay tuned to this channel for any updates, questions, and directions when the time comes. You can also PM me any time for any special concerns about the event.

I hope everybody can make it.

Now, let's turn to the music discussion! What are we gonna play?

Wondering, Kira, did the proprietor of the Studio give you a funny look when you said you wanted a "Quiet Room" for a Jam session

And a big thumbs-up and kudos to you for your excellent job here in coordinating/promoting/cat-herding/etc for this first BARC Mini Con Jam That was cool how everything fell into place once the momentum of the event started gathering steam ....

Just good timing, Rich. I really haven't done that much, which means our luck is with us. The rest is up to you guys.

There are usually some Pink Floyd Fans in the Bunch, so we've often played "Breathe" and "Wish You Were Here"

Those are some starters, anyway. There are probably a whole bunch of surf numbers we could play for all you surf fans.
There was a request for Mitch Easter's old band, Let's Active, so I'd be up for that (Every Word Means No, Waters Part)

Take the lead you Nor Cal folks, it's your jam; we're just crashing the party.

July 24...how cool is that ?

Thanks Kira, and I look forward to meeting all you musical partners in crime.

Gary in Santa Rosa

Darn - something came up on the 24th, but hopefully I will still be able to attend part of the event...

Personally, I'm hoping for a multi-bass jam - funk in E anyone?

Paul, thanks for the jump start with the music list. I'd say those were some essentials.

Here's some Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers tunes:

I Need to Know
American Girl
The Waiting
Listen to Her Heart
Free Fallin'
Learning to Fly
Running Down a Dream

Stevie Nicks?

Stop Draggin my Heart Around
