Is there a playlist for this?? I could bring my drums if you are playing things I know.

 

I'm bringing my world beat kit. It'll be nice to play "percussionist" and not be responsible for keeping the primary beat. (which nobody in my band adheres to anyway; oh those runaway, enthusiastic tambourine players)

 

We don't really have a planned playlist, although I made some suggestions that I figured everyone would know... Bad Moon Rising, This Land Is Your Land, Tangled Up In Blue, House Of The Rising Sun, that sort of stuff. Check the last few pages of this thread.

With 50+ musicians, and most of us amateurs, I'm not sure how much it will matter whether or not you know what song we're playing.

I'm leaving around 2 PM today for my pre-dragon backpacking rtip, so I'll see all y'all down there!

 

I just got done playing on my drums a little and was try to come up with a way to get the set in my MINI plus all the other stuff I need to bring. I may do a test pack tomorrow to see what I can come up with.
But I still think the pots and pan idea is a good idea.

 

Ok had a blast at the Jam. I ended up not haven't to play on Pots and pans but I did for a short time play on a beer bottle, and a wash bucket. Anyway I ended up playing on Louispup's Cymbal from his kit, and MINIclo's hand drum. I had a blast.

 

You rocked, magic mini. Good times. Nice to meet everyone.

 

Here's a picture from the other way.

 

I had a blast as well...

I think it was the first time I've played "Stairway to Heaven" on a bari

Thanks!

OMG, Mark! You are a FANTASTIC sax player! Thanks so much for jamming with us! I'll post a thread with the final calculations...people continue to give me money for the Tipitina Fund...

 

you all sounded great! I was going out of my mind trying to find a couple of people plus get ready for the Midnight run, etc.. Can't wait until next year.. definately going to come down for longer than 48 hours.. I'll be jamming next year for sure..

 

Thanks everybody for showing up (even if we lost some to the rescheduled movie...). I had a great time! Special thanks to the guardian angel (sorry, don't remember your name ) who rescued me by grabbing my guitar and belting out Heart of Gold and a couple of other tunes.

Mark - the sax rocked! Chris - the percussion was awesome!

I demand a photo of sndwave rocking the cowbell.

 

WOO HOO! The Jammers rocked! Especially the drums and sax. Thanks for sharing your talent! I expect even bigger and better next year.

 

Well, only half of those who registered to play showed up with their instruments, but I think it was due to the Drive-in Movie being postponed because of the rain-out on Friday, thus being pushed into our time slot. Plus, the Dessert Social went until 10 PM, with all of the fun announcements and giveaways....we gathered more folks after that, but the jam only ran until 10:30, to give folks time to get to Midnight on the Dragon!

Chris, Hugo (son of a MINI owner), was the fellow who joined us, along with SpiderX, who brought out the Peavey amp. However, I will say....we had enough cowbell, thanks to sndwave!

 

there's never anough cowbell!

 

Great idea to do the jam. The Sax was wicked and the picking was really nice too. Everybody kept the beat. Vocals could use some improvement but the spirit was there and I really enjoyed playing with you all. Thanks!

 

Thanks for all the kind words...

... Now let's start recruiting musicians for next year !

- Mark (Sax)

 

Kudos to all you musicians. I was jumping back and forth between watching you guys and trying to score some swag at the social, but you all did great!

I did get a couple ten second movies of you guys which came out pretty good considering it was just a canon elph camera that I was unfamiliar with, but if anyone is interested I could attach them to an email. Unfortunately, I think I got everyone but sndwave who seemed very adept at keeping a porch beam between us. Anyway, great show!

 

Funny how those who are good photogs prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. I'm sure his internal radar knew he was being filmed and he hid!

 

That would be me....thanks for being so gracious with your guitar...... lots of fun and good tunes

Bob

 

Hey, Bob! Are you bringing your guitar next year? You are hereby drafted to be in the OT Band again! Check out the wrap-up thread:

I did ck out the wrap up thread..... thanks for the picture ie publicity I was with my new GF of 7+ months and asking her to the Mini "gig" was a test of her tolerance (which she passed with flying colors) I did not want to add "all night jam" to the "mix"...... guitar has been a passion for me since I was about 13..... now 55.... getting up with you all was lots of fun...thanks for including me..... next year will be fun.

 

All night? It was scheduled for 8:30 - 10:30 PM, Spidey! Well, you are definitely drafted for the MOTD-2007 OT Band Dragon Jam!

Glad she liked our nutty community! Good sign, eh!

 

Very good sign... she was talking of trading in her 02 330 convert for a MCS cabrio.....we had a great time...... 8:30 - 10:30 next year.....

 

Yay...another MINI gal in the making! Next year, there may be a few mini-rehearsals prior to the "official jam!"

 

And hopefully next year inioway (another Bob) can make it, so we can have The Bobs on guitar (kind of like in Office Space)...
