Anyone got some other songs to suggest? I know a lot of easy songs, but not so many that would necessarily be familiar to everyone (Beck, Ween, Wilco, etc.).

 

I would appreciate it if any Jammer(s) who plays guitar and has some songbooks or sheet music could contact me via PM. I'd like to get some stuff copied for the attendees. Any other suggestions for how to do this?

 

I'm not a musician so bear with me, but what about stuff like Ghost Riders in the Sky or Creedences' Keep on Chooglin".

 

How about asking the few who should be committed what they know and start from there?

 

I can bring a cocktail drum kit or a world beat set-up, whatever jives with the mix. More of a percussionist than a rock drummer; it'll be nice to jam with new folks.

 

Great sig. Louispup

Bring on them drums

Mark

 

Thanks, Mark. Like your Lab.

 

I may have suggested this one earlier, but CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" is super-easy: D A G.

 

She's going to be at the Dragon, too! WOO HOOOOO!!! Our official Jam mascot, the delightful Ruby!

 

Sound like it's time to add Karaoke?

 

Oooh, Tom! That's a fun idea! Do you have a kariaoke machine? Or know anyone who has one? That would be a help, for sure!

 

Some songs that I know:
"Creep" by Radiohead
"Today" by Smashing Pumpkins
"House of the Rising Sun" (can't remember who does this)
"Back in Black" AC/DC
"Chocolate" by Snow Patrol
"Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks

I've mainly played in country cover bands and original rock bands. Maybe we should try to work up a loose set list?

 

yeah i was also thinking about bringing a smallish bongo drum set. looking forward to the jam!

 

I may leave the conga behind, but here's what I plan to bring.



I'm big on Neil Finn (who?), Crowded House and the Beatles,
but will ready to play anything the orchestra comes up with.

 

OK, after consulting with other band members, here is the final setlist:

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Patti Smith - Gloria
INXS - Guns In The Sky
Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me
Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl
Samantha Foxx - Touch Me (I Want Your Body)
Janet Jackson - Nasty
Journey - Faithfully
Aerosmith - Dude Looks Like A Lady

 

Um, how many are true sing-alongs? Let's have a couple that EVERYONE, meaning all age groups, will also know....

 

I was just kidding...

 

If any of you can play Puff the Magic Dragon, well I'd be happy

Mark

 

Don't scare me like that, Chris!

And for Lotsie, we'll have to pull together a rendition of Puff the Magic Dragon. After all, it's only fitting, eh!? (Dig my cool Canadian accent!)

I think we will have to sing some Neil Young tunes, too....like "Cinnamon Girl!" Woo hooooo!

 

Well, darn. All that recent practicing for nothing? :impatient

 

Not at all, Phil! Keep practicing and be sure to bring your musical equipment to Fontana! We're counting on you!

 

Oh My Gawd. This is sinful. Do you realize that Puff is the anthem of the Evil Weed MariJuana Growers on the north shore of Kauai, in the shade of Mt. Waialeale (purported to be the wettest spot on earth with 600+ inches) .

Where do you think Hanalei is, anyway. Shame Shame Shame

 

But... Puff is just the name of the boy's magic dragon.

(Are you a pothead, Focker?)

 

And your point is.....? It's a lovely song for children, Tom....tee hee!

 

and how exactly do you know this, Tom?
