The Off-Topic Band
Thanks, Steve!
Everyone is welcome! You needn't be a musician or singer to come enjoy the music. We need to get an accurate head-count, though, so please don't be shy folks, about registering.
You may list your name and your mate's/SO's together in the First and Last, in the musical instrument box, or register them separately.
Thanks!

Let's jam for a worthy cause: The Tipitina Fund in New Orleans!
I'd love to have some more guitarists register for the jam! Anyone play congas? What instruments are people considering bringing along, but haven't registered yet, because they aren't sure? Don't be shy! Post what musical instruments you want to play at the jam!
Post pix even!

One of the instruments I'm bringing is a Charango. It's a 10-stringed small instrument that is like a combination ukelele/lute/armadillo!


When the Spanish conquistadors went to South America, they brought with them the vihuela (an ancestor of the guitar). Originally, the South Americans in the treeless mountain regions could not spare the wood to make the soundbox and hit upon the bright idea of using Armadillos instead.
The sound of the charango is heard throughout the Andes -- for one thing, it is easier to carry around than a guitar. (How MINI of it!) Nowadays it tends to be made of wood. The whole bulbous soundbox (or resonator) is impressively carved from a single piece. It has 5 sets of paired strings.

You and welshmenwillnotyield can duet on the comb kazoos!

Um, yes, sweetie....I don't think I can play the instruments I've mentioned all at once.....or can I?
I guess I could try to be a one-gal band
NAWWWWWW...just kidding!
Are we actually going to have amps etc.? I do have a cordless amp with rechargeable batteries that I can bring, assuming that I get motivated and get it repaired soon.
Mics?
(not that you'll get me near one
)
I'm bringing an acoustic/electric Ovation guitar, so I'm set either way.
