Update on Jam I was worried about...

Well...it turned out to be the most doomed party ever. The guy who was throwing the party wanted to have the party on Sunday so his friend's band could play. Saturday, the weather was 78 degrees and sunny, Sunday it was supposed to rain so they decide to put up a tent for the band to play under. He is standing on a 3 foot tall ladder, slips, gets tangled in the ladder and breaks his leg in 2 places. Sunday, it rains like hell. The band showed up one member at a time throughout the day and decide not to play. The asshole who was organizing the jam session didn't show at all. I was the only person who was supposed to jam that brought a guitar. Then my wife became violently ill with a stomach virus. The plus side, I didn't have to deal with the asshole guy I was dreading seeing, and the bass player for the band was very friendly and a real cutie. We talked gear for about 2 hours.

 

 

I know....cool story, huh?

Too bad I'm 49 as well.
:cry:

 

Too bad it didn't work out. That's not what jamming is about anyway.

 

You're 49 and I'm 52. If we lived closer, I'd have you over for beers and we would play our guitars together... that's jamming. Before you know it, you'll meet someone who plays drums and another who plays bass and we'd all go over to your house on Saturday and play a few tunes... that's jamming. Suddenly someone else hooks up who can sing and plays the tuba... no problem, that's jamming.

 

I get together with friends, we throw shalf a cow on the grill, go through a few bottles of red and play all afternoon while our wives look at us through the window and make faces, occasionally asking us to turn it down but knowing we won't.

 

I learn a lot from the other guys, much more than when I play alone. The good players get to play and us crappy players do too. Someones always willing to share something.

 

We just have some fun and enjoy each us others playing as well as what we sound like together. Sometimes we get serious about a song but not often. We always enjoy each others company... that's jamming.

 

Hope it works out better for you next time around. Don't give up on the idea.
