Subject: RE: Being an open stage/jam host
arrange a schedule and take sign ups
and make sure everyone interested gets
a time slot, make flyers and send with
everyone present announcing the next date
and ask others to bring a friend or two
a band scramble is a feature which has
been making the rounds--put names in a
hat (if you have enough folks there)
one hat (or bag) for guitar, one for
bass, etc. then pull one out of each hat
to form a new band then give these folks
a while to come with a song, a joke, and
anothter thing: perhaps an advertising
jingle to get the word out about your
event! good luck. also end the evening
with a jam that includes everyone...
grand finale!
