The Bash! All Instruments Welcome! November 13th 7:00 PM

[Mic'd Music]

Well, this time around we're going to change up the bash idea a little bit. We'll continue to have drum,bass, and guitar bashes, but I thought since this will be the last one of the year we would have a big BASH for everyone to attend. We plan to have a few presentations so if anyone has an idea or would like to present let me know. The date we've set is Thursday November 13th starting around 7:00 and lasting til 9:30ish. It should be alot of fun and lots of jamming. So grab whatever it is you play and come on up!

I'm very excited about this event. Also, for all the folks who have told me they just can't handle going to a club to take part in a jam, here is your chance.

[SmittyG]

Just to expand on this concept a bit, the topics you suggest can be for an individual instrument or something about a full band context--whatever you think would be an interesting issue to go over. Michael has an idea for one about using electronic and acoustic percussion together. Now, I'm a bass player, but even I think that would be something cool to check out.

Michael, are you going to have any keys set up? Depending on what the doctor says on the 12th. I might be able to come but might not be able to carry my stuff so I was just wondering.

Scott...do you need me to come carry your stuff for you?

Well, I'm a little hung over, but I'll give it a shot.

Top Ten Reasons NOT To Host A Blues Jam in Texarkana

1. The last remaining pathetic shred of your personal dignity.

2. Things are even bluer over in Hooks.

3. Miki Self has been known to go around the tables and steal drinks while people are up on stage.

4. Scott Murell will immediately post a long rant about how he's got more reason to sing the blues than you do.

5. He does.

6. The guy who wants to come up and play your guitar just finished the Extra-Cheesey Nacho Plate, and is still licking his fingers clean.

7. Every time someone steals another Stevie Ray Vaughan lick, a little puppy up in Heaven drops dead.

8. The two sleazey girls who might actually have slept with you will see your guitar-solo "hot face" and change their minds.

9. Those aren't really valet parking attendants you just gave your keys to.

10. If your guitar solo accidentally runs over 36 bars, SmittyG will beat you to death with a Fender Jazz Bass.

I've been SO tempted on several occasions.

Now, don't stress out over that one time. The guy probably won't be reported missing for months.

(I'm going to get in so much trouble for this). I can lift the cords but need someone able to lift my organ. Sami, you knew better than to throw me that bone so why didn't you make me have to go there. I am so ashamed of both of us!!!

I don't mind helping out where I'm needed...but are you sure you want a possible transexual lifting your organ for you?

At least when I sing the blues it's on pitch and I'm playing it on a real musical instrument.

What's the embarrassing part? Help offered by a girl or needing help with your organ? LOL!
