I can coordinate Surf/Instro if you'd like. Also, anyone wanting to do some (real) Country. I hope to do a couple of things with Mark as well as have him do some solo Travis/Atkins pickin'. Assuming I don't lose my car keys, I plan to do more sitting and listening this time.

Yeah -- definitely nobody wants that !!
But we all know now to look for keys where ever the beer is kept !

Do we need Chrome or "Wham" painted 330s for signing up for The Jam contingent ?
Or will any Ric suffice ?
BTW, have we heard an RSVP from Brian Fitz ? He's a Jam fan !!

"Wham"; the crome 330 is a Weller fan's 330, while his "Wham!" 330 is a replica of one actually owned by Weller. I'll bring some poster paint. . . .hey, that could be a workshop: "Pop Art your Rick w/o permanently altering its finish!"

Seriously though, any Rick will do.

Brian hasn't piped in yet. I'll have to email him again.

Tickets for "Two and a Half Men": SCORED!

Now I'm onboard 50%!

Other 50% includes:
Jay Leno tickets: 10%
Big Bang Theory tickets: 30%
Airline tickets: 10%

I'd like to sign up for a dead spot or trainwreck.

I know Joey had a spreadsheet posted on his website, but it looks like it had hour blocks for bands.

If I may make a suggestion, how about the bands take their hours, and we can fill the inbetweens with genre's (Beatles hour, Petty 1/2 hour, REM hour, Byrds year) or by decades. Seems most bands usually like to start later than earlier, so we could also do a 10a-1p jam, then band, jam, then another band, etc.

Unfortunately, every time I try to open Joey's spread sheet, it's completely blank. If Dan is bringing his huge TransSonic maybe we should do "My Sharona"!

In honor of Doug Feiger I think that would be great................so who's going to show me how to play it?

Steve, if you do not have Excel loaded on your computer, the spreadsheet will not open. I'll try to get it to you in another format.
I made it up because after every jam is over, several people say they wish there was some sort of sign up sheet.
But don't worry about it much, because it has so far had a truly underwhelming response.

The spreadsheet opened for me...

For those who don't have Excel - a free reader. Mac version also.

SCARF is looking for some assistance in guiding the Jam(s) along ..... just a couple of simple objectives:
(1) Avoid sounding like Guitar Center on a crowded Saturday afternoon
(2) Avoid train wrecks where we thought everyone knew the bridge came after the second chorus and didn't realize the chord pattern changed ...
(3) Come up with a potential "trial balloon" song list or two beforehand, so the Jammers get a chance to sign up to play the kind of music they enjoy
Really, it’s just do what you like. Put together song lists of music that folks like to play ---- Nothing has to follow any strict guideline or music genre "definition".

Hey Jake --- can we ask you to volunteer to be the commander in chief of the British Invasion task force and help organize a list or two of Stones, Dave Clark Five, Kinks, Who, Searchers, Animals, etc tunes for possible consideration. Many thanks.

Hey Scotty J ---- any chance we might be able to call upon your expertise in 70s era music, to kind of kick start a segment with an emphasis on 70s bands ?? That would be great if you can be a focal point for Jammers who like music from that era.

Would anyone like to coordinate a "12-String Nirvana" set list, to give those Janglebox pedals and chimey Vox amps a proper work out ??

Suggestions are welcome !! Anyone else have some ideas on how we ought to divide things up --- or "organize" the jamming, so that over the course of the day, we can get 25+ Jammers accommodated and get everyone a chance to play some of the tunes they want to play ???

Don’t be bashful if you have some jam ideas !!

A few songs that I can muddle through:

The Jam - Set the House Ablaze, Butterfly Collector, English Rose

Surf - Pipeline, Penetration, Telstar, Out of Limits, Walk Don't Run, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Sort of surfy).

Any interest in non-traditionally Ric songs? I love early Bowie (Jean Genie, Ziggy Stardust, Panic In Detroit, Rebel Rebel, Man Who Sold the World, Suffragette City, etc) or Sex Pistols (Pretty Vacant), even Social Distortion! Who says Rics can't do that?

I'm a staunch advocate of playing Rick guitars in non-traditionally Rick ways on non-traditionally Rick songs, original or cover numbers. On the 4th of July, Joey, Rich, and I did Crazy Train, Strutter, and Ziggy Stardust, all on Ricks.

there have been a couple of jams where insurgents took over the stage during a pizza break and played all KISS numbers, with maybe a sprinkling of AC/DC. Great Stuff! I think Kenny, Dan, and Paul Sakry were all in on that, among others.
