Don't know about a name, but I've got a slogan..

It's not small, it's Mini.

Take that Lyle Lovett.!

BTW, I've been known to make normally sedate people run a 100 meters in 12 seconds just by pulling my guitar out of the case.

Bill in P.G.

The 23Club in Brisbane

The 23 Club where Jimmie Rivers recorded Brisbane Bop is a fun place to play and would probably be open to a jam session.

Hi Trico
I play piano and sax with Jerry Kuhel most every Friday 5ish to 7or8. We started out there basically just rehearsing in front of people. It makes rehearsing a lot more productive but you have to be prepared.
This Friday we have the sax player from Lydia Pense and Cold Blood
http://www.coldblood.biz/ coming in so we wont have any sit-ins but we are looking for another player to take leads, probably not another guitar though. I'd like to find a violin, horn, flute or accordion to join us.
This is a bit of us

The owner would probably be okay with you guys coming in and doing a jam session but you'll have to play for tips.

Hmmmm.....well, it can play what is termed in NAF circles as a "gypsy" scale. I don't know how to better describe it. The NAF can play almost a full chromatic scale, the two half notes just above the fundamental are missing, though. But if it's a good flute, the rest is there as well as 3 and sometimes four half notes above the octave.

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum and found myself perusing this thread out of sheer admiration for music. I play the drums, keys, and guitar. A MIM Fender Tele, Squire Tele Custom, which for some odd reason has an amazing sound for such a low budget guitar. I play through a Fender Deville. Tama drumset. I wish I had a keytar, or a bagpipe. :(

I'm no prodigy but love to jam with friends.

P.S. can anybody point me in the right direction towards the introduction thread?
T H A N K S!

Perhaps its time for "Mini Idol". I think there are enough talented muscicans in the Mini community to give it a try. Besides it would be another great reason to have a "Get-together". I can serve as a judge or spectator, I would need too mcuh Brandy to be a contestant

Seriously we do have many members of the Mini community that can play and sing. It would be fun to find a venue to give it a try
