[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Open Jam Sessions

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Hey if any of you local Bay area cats wanna go shoot me a line, and 
maybe the little drummer boy will show up and hang out a while, :))

I can always use a little brushes work out, since I never get to use em 
in a Marching Parade show :))

We can even make these kids play  or learn some OKOM.

Since it's a guitar shop I don't suppose they have any BEER so pretty 
safe to say it's Bring Your own, :))

Heck if we don't like it or the players we can always go back to my 
house and blow. :))

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

   The Good Stuff Guitar Shop in Martinez is opening our doors after 
hours to an acoustic jam Tuesday, December 19th, 8-10?.



   This is a friendly, informal, living room style jam where local Bay 
area players of all sizes, styles, instruments, and talent levels can 
make some new musical connections. In previous sessions we played 
blues, americana, country, bluegrass, rock, and dead tunes and jazz.

   Some guiding principles to keep everyone on track: watch your volume, 
take turns, be respectful of the other people jam and most importantly 
- HAVE FUN MAKING MUSIC!

   While we love to play loud, amplified music - this isn't the jam to 
bring your Marshall 1/2 stack (or any amps to). If you play your guitar 
really loud and drown every one else out - we'll ask you to strum 
quieter. Drummers and percussionists are welcome - but it probably 
needs to be a snare and brushes or hand percussion and keep your volume 
in proportion with the rest of the instruments. Banjo players - bring a 
mute!

   Even if you can't attend the jam - help spread the word to other 
players.


  Directions:


   Hwy 4 – exit Alhambra Ave and take it all the way to Main Street . 
Make a right turn and you are at the shop.
   680 North or South – exit Marina Vista or Pacheco and go a couple of 
miles to get to downtown Martinez . Main Street turns one-way, you will 
have to loop around a few one way streets to reach us.
