Author	Topic: Looking to jam in NJ/NY
Paul Heumiller Member Posts: 113 From: Clarksburg, NJ, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 11-17-1999 08:16 I am looking for folks to jam with in NJ/NY. Something to give us a chance to improvise and play things real-time. IP: Logged
Tim Mitchell unregistered	posted 11-17-1999 10:21 Hey Paul, I live in Rockland County and I love to jam. The rest of this year is going to be way busy, but I am usually able to free up some time on the weekends. Also, every Sunday night I co host an open mic night in Pearl River. There may not be any chiken wire in front of the stage, but it is fun no the less. IP: Logged
Kurt Member Posts: 1508 From: Suffern, NY USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 11-18-1999 00:45 Let's set something up. Perhaps once or twice a month. We should pick an evening that works for all, then figure out the best location. I think waiting until after the holidays is a good idea, but let's definitely start something in Jan. 2000. That's if we don't get Y2KO'd. On another topic, Paul, is there a spell checker on this thing? IP: Logged
Trevor Member Posts: 23 From: NY, NY, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 11-18-1999 10:58 I'm up for all NY/NJ area jams too. IP: Logged

Phil Dollard unregistered	posted 11-28-1999 14:13 Paul, I'm here in the Ossining area. Some sort of regular IGS jam sounds great. Count me in. IP: Logged
Paul Shneyer Member Posts: 2 From: new york city Registered: Nov 1999	posted 11-28-1999 18:33 I'd be glad to join in the jam. My apartment is also available if it is convenient to meet in nyc [near Columbia U] ...hows my speelling? IP: Logged
Paul Heumiller Member Posts: 113 From: Clarksburg, NJ, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 12-13-1999 08:32 Cool, looks like we've got a little group going! We'll plan something for after the holidays. I look forward to it. IP: Logged
Roberto Member Posts: 19 From: Brooklyn, NY, USA Registered: Dec 1999	posted 12-17-1999 09:25 Is it too late to get in on this group? I live in Brooklyn. Would be happy to host sometime too...wife and cats permitting. IP: Logged
Roberto Member Posts: 19 From: Brooklyn, NY, USA Registered: Dec 1999	posted 01-13-2000 07:30 I wanted to bring this back to the top...now that the new year has settled in. Are the folks listed above still interested (or any new people interested?) Speak up! IP: Logged
Kurt Member Posts: 1508 From: Suffern, NY USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 01-13-2000 13:28 Right! Let's get going. We can get a great jam session going with all these lines of communication open. Let's decide on a night, then we'll pick a location. Monday is no good for me. Let's also rule out Fri & Sat. Any votes for a Tue, Wed, Thur, or Sun in January? Let's get something going at least once a month. It'll be great. We could even decide ahead what we'll jam on. IP: Logged
Roberto Member Posts: 19 From: Brooklyn, NY, USA Registered: Dec 1999	posted 01-13-2000 15:29 I would be up for a Sun. afternoon. Weeknights are kind of tough for me. I would also be up for Sat. afternoon. IP: Logged
Tim Mitchell unregistered	posted 01-14-2000 09:34 I would be interested, but my work schedule is pretty hairy right now, I wont be free until March. I wont even be state side until the of jan. IP: Logged
Paul Heumiller Member Posts: 113 From: Clarksburg, NJ, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 01-17-2000 22:54 OK, sounds like we are ready to rumble! Since there are many of us I am just going to suggest a plan to start with and we can adjust as we go. How is Wed Jan 26 to start with? 7pm? Paul Schneyer, if your offer still stands can we meet at your place in NYC? For tunes let's try: O' Glory - Gary Davis Texas Blues in A - Woody Weepin' Willow - Blind Boy Fuller Cold Rainy Day - Big Bill Broonzy Shave em Dry - Woody mix Walkin' Blues - Slide No pressure, if you know them fine, if not we'll show each other. Let's make it about learning, practicing and having fun with friends! Email me to RSVP so we can exchange details mailto:paul@paulheumiller.com IP: Logged
Kurt Member Posts: 1508 From: Suffern, NY USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 01-18-2000 18:49 Hey cool! Good to hear from you Paul. That time works for me. And I like the list of tunes. We'll see what happens with the location. If nothing comes up, my house in Suffern is always available. Roberto, I hope you can make it too. A weekday evening is much easier for me. The weekends are wild busy these days. IP: Logged
Roberto Member Posts: 19 From: Brooklyn, NY, USA Registered: Dec 1999	posted 01-19-2000 08:43 Well, I will make one of the future sessions (or more)...definitely. This trip with my wife is something I have been looking forward to for a while, so I won't cancel it. I am doing the weekend workshop with Woody this Saturday, which should help me out a bit with our little group. I haven't played with other people much, so my getting some tips on jam session etiquitte, etc. will probably make things easier on all of you. See you all soon. I can make the week nights work.

woody unregistered	posted 01-19-2000 23:27 Sounds like a good winter jam - I'll be out of town - othewise I would drop by. keep it going... Woody IP: Logged
Paul Heumiller Member Posts: 113 From: Clarksburg, NJ, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 01-20-2000 00:29 Woody, you are of course always welcome! Hey if your out of town we can party at your place.....just kidding! IP: Logged
William Rae Member Posts: 10 From: Weehawken, NJ USA Registered: Jan 2000	posted 01-21-2000 14:26 This sounds like the perfect cure for my "practicing by myself blues". I'm a former guitar and music theory student of Woody's both private lessons and at the New School. I guess I'm an intermediate level player. It would be great to meet other blues enthusiasts, learn jamming techniques and I know "O Glory". How about adding "Sally, Where'd You Get Your Liquor From" -Rev. Davis to the jam tune list. 7pm on Jan. 26 is good for me. I'll send an RSVP now. [This message has been edited by William Rae (edited 01-22-2000).] IP: Logged
Paul Heumiller Member Posts: 113 From: Clarksburg, NJ, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 01-23-2000 00:44 Everything is Confirmed. Paul S. has been kind enough to volunteer his place to jam at. If you have not emailed me with 'intent to jam' please do so asap and I will send you all directions. [paul@paulheumiller.com] This will be fun! Thanks. IP: Logged
rick brodsky unregistered	posted 01-30-2000 00:12 Wow,I haven't checked this site in a few weeks.I've been dying to get together with other blues enthusiasts. I attended one of Woody's workshops and so I picked up a few of the tunes mentioned above. I also play slide, walking blues is one of my favs. I live in Northern Westchester and wouldn't mind hosting as well. email: rszb@msn.com. Let's jam my blues brethren! IP: Logged
Paul Heumiller Member Posts: 113 From: Clarksburg, NJ, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 01-31-2000 21:54 The first NJ/NY Jam was a great success. 5 of us got together and played great music for a few hours! Thank you all for coming, it was a blast! This will be a monthly event so anyone interested, email me paul@paulheumiller.com to get on the email list. I will post the next date soon! Keep the faith!

Paul Heumiller Member Posts: 113 From: Clarksburg, NJ, USA Registered: Nov 1999	posted 02-08-2000 20:10 NY/NJ Jam #2!!!!!! Are you ready to rumble!! Let's go for Friday February 25. Email me if you can attend, paul@paulheumiller.com. Location is NYC. (email for details) Everybody bring a capo so we can work on playing different parts more!! Let go with these tunes: 1. Slow Blues in D (Woody Mann, 12 bar blues similar to Mr Johnson's Blues) 2. Dirty Business (Mississippi John Hurt) 3. Nobody know you when you're down and out(in honor of John Cephas!) 4. Saturday night Rub(Big Bill Broonzy) Let's also redo: 5. Weeping Willow(Blind Boy Fuller) 6. O' Glory(Rev. Gary Davis) I think repeating 1 or 2 tunes each time with help us solidify our play list. See you there!! [This message has been edited by Paul Heumiller (edited 02-09-2000).] IP: Logged
