Balboa Park Jam. Another one?
|
|
|
Subject: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 04 Aug 02 - 08:03 PM Hey: Let's have another one! |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 04 Aug 02 - 08:31 PM You got it, Hugh!! Just set a date. (I'm out of town the week of 8-16 to 8-23 though). A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 04 Aug 02 - 10:28 PM Well, as I said before, I hope you'll do one the weekend of Sept. 29-30, since I'll be in town then. This doesn't mean you should WAIT till then, mind you. One every weekend would be just fine! Genie ¤;- ) |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 05 Aug 02 - 01:46 AM Genie: Sept. 29th. or 30th? Sunday is always best for my little crew. Amos? Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 05 Aug 02 - 03:22 AM Hi: I just fired an email off to Bear and Janet with Genie's dates. Please keep in mind that Sundays always seem to be the best days for my crew. But we can jam sooner. Later, Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 05 Aug 02 - 09:35 AM My version of the September 02 calendar shows the weekend being the 28-29th. I'd suggest same place on September 1st, then again on the 29th? Whatever works for you-all is okay with me, Hugh. A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 05 Aug 02 - 01:22 PM You're right, Amos, it is the 28th-29th. Saturday afternoon is clearer for me (I have a retirement home gig in Rancho Pe–asquitos from 3:30 to 4:30 on Sunday -- though I might persuade them to move it to 2:00PM). If the jam goes as late as 6 or 7 PM or starts as early as 1 or 2 PM, I could be there for part of it on Sunday, anyway. But I know you've got several people's schedules to coordinate, so just let me know what y'all come up with. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 05 Aug 02 - 01:39 PM I can bend. Sun. 1st of Sept, and than Sat. 28th of Sept? The same place is good. I love the park. I'll see what my people have to say. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 05 Aug 02 - 02:35 PM ...And maybe we could start a bit earlier? Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 05 Aug 02 - 08:39 PM Just lemme know, pal! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 08 Aug 02 - 01:19 AM Well, if it's on Saturday, any time in the afternoon is fine with me. If it's Sunday, my vote would be to start at 1:00 or earlier (even noon, maybe make it a brown bag thing). Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 08 Aug 02 - 09:05 AM Over to Hugh's gang for disposition, I guess... |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 08 Aug 02 - 12:59 PM I informedmy people and I'm standing by for their answer. I'm free almost anytime. Genie: You said if is Sat. anytime in the afternoon is fine. If its Sun. 1:00 or noon. Isn't 1:00 or noon kinda the afternoon? ;o) |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 08 Aug 02 - 02:43 PM Damn engineering types -- can't put anything over on 'em!! :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 08 Aug 02 - 08:09 PM Banjoest, the key is the word "anytime." On Sunday (as it stands now) I would not be able to be at Balboa Park between about 2:45 and 5:15 PM. So if we started at noon, I'd have almost 3 hours before I had to leave. (If I can change the time of my gig, I might be able to come at 3:45-ish and stay till whenever--in the event that you folks opt for a later jam.) On Saturday, so far, I have no such restrictions. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 08 Aug 02 - 09:20 PM Uh? Genie: We're shooting for Sat. on the weekend you're down. Amos, isn't that right? That's what I told Bear and Janet. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 08 Aug 02 - 10:12 PM Saturday'll do just fine I think, Banjoest. Which Saturday?? The one Genie will be here will be the 28th of September. We also talked about Sunday the 1st -- same place. Howzzat seem? I might be able to lure down another banjo player, for grins, if you like, but not if it'll crowd your style! :>) Whatchoo think? A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 08 Aug 02 - 10:51 PM The 28 of Sept. Sat. for Genie and the 1 of Sept. Sun for us. Another banjo picker would be fun. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 08 Aug 02 - 10:55 PM Amos: What is your banjo picker into? Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 08 Aug 02 - 11:12 PM Well he wants to start a bluegrass band, but he plays all sorts. Not as proficient as you are but he's a good guy, loves to jam and can keep up okay! He plays guitar as well. And he occasionally can get a hold of a guy who plays a competent fiddle, too! I'll see if I can talk him into coming. A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 09 Aug 02 - 12:07 AM Amos: You're making my pants tight...a fiddle player...yea...ouch...My Pants are tight! Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 09 Aug 02 - 12:49 AM Well, I'll see if he can get a hold of him, so you can do the pants trick in the Park!! LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 09 Aug 02 - 01:29 AM Hey, guys, if you go to St. Andrews Lutheran Church in La Mesa this Saturday night (7 to ca 10:30PM) for the San Diego Folksong Society jam/song circle, you'll find some other banjo, guitar, dulcimer, fiddle and mandolin players who might like to come to the Balboa Park jams. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 11 Aug 02 - 12:26 PM Okay guys, Be ready to pick on September 1st and September 28th. It will be in Balboa Park San Diego, CA., by the 'Reflection Pond' in front of the 'Botanical Garden.' (The big lath building) My people have confirmed. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 11 Aug 02 - 03:41 PM Be there or be square! ¤;- D |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 11 Aug 02 - 04:01 PM How can you "be" a geometric shape? I don't understand... is this some kind of new hip jive going around? ;>)) A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 11 Aug 02 - 05:01 PM I almost forgot, how-bout noon? Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 11 Aug 02 - 05:15 PM Noon's a fine time -- do you mean on both dates? We can start the set with "Do Not Forsake Me Oh, My Darrrrrling!" (Aftuh all, a mayun's gotta do whut's rahght, Miss Kitty!) A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 11 Aug 02 - 05:16 PM Yeah, Amos, it's a really swell new kinda hepcat talk. Groovy, yeah? §;- D BJ, noon for both jams? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 11 Aug 02 - 05:18 PM Yep! |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 11 Aug 02 - 06:16 PM Why, Genie, it's just the cat's whiskers!! O, you kid! LOL!!! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 12 Aug 02 - 03:24 PM Say guys, my other banjo-=picking pal says he'll be there hoping to learn a few things from Banjoest, and will try to bring his fiddler friend, on 1 Sept. Kewl!! Sing with ya'll then, A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: bet Date: 12 Aug 02 - 05:56 PM Boo Hoo! Wish I could be there. I really enjoyed the music the 1st time you had your get together. Great music. I'm home now so must wait until next summer to enjoy any more Balboa outings. Maybe I'll be more adventuresome and bring an instrument or maybe sing. Banjoest, I wish I had known you liked Sea Shanteys, I was going to ask for one but decided you guys were playing what you liked, I'd be quiet. Next time I'll speak out. Thanks for the great get together Tammy and I really enjoyed it. |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 12 Aug 02 - 06:41 PM Sea chanties??!!! I coulda been singing sea chanties?!! And here I thought I was being nice and playing bluegrass type stuff!! Dang!! Yoho, Bet, c'mon down in September and we'll rollick yer timbers with a round of "New York Girls", an' it please ye!! :>)) A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 12 Aug 02 - 07:59 PM Amos, bet: Does the phrase "Shiver me timbers" mean, "Wiggle my wood?" I was the one looking for a banjo lesson. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 12 Aug 02 - 09:42 PM "Wiggle my wood?" Hmmm.... Sounds like a neat trick to me! Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 12 Aug 02 - 11:13 PM Genie : Well, you and Banjoest will have to discuss that privately! **bg** A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 12 Aug 02 - 11:19 PM "Wiggle...wiggle...wiggle" :-@ |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 02 - 12:27 AM Shivering one's timbers in a salt's expression for a great shock or surprise, and if I recall correctly it means the equivalent of "shatter the mainmast", something which, as you can imagine, would be considered an extremely shocking turn of events. 1) shiver2. Roget s II: The New Thesaurus, Third Edition. 1995. ...2, shiver2, shiver2, shiver2, shiver2"> To crack or split into two or more fragments by means of or as a result of force, a blow, or strain: break, fracture, rift,... Regards, A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 13 Aug 02 - 01:09 PM Uh...I guess I don't want my wood "shivered." Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 02 - 02:03 PM Good call, man!! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 13 Aug 02 - 05:44 PM Relax, guys. Nobody's wood is gonna get shivered -- unless they pick that guitar or banjo too hard! §;- D |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 02 - 08:36 PM Oh, well; greatly relieved, i am sure!! **bg** A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 13 Aug 02 - 09:07 PM I was wondering how long it would take for the women to start threatening the guys with a good old shivering. LOL BTW, is picking the banjo and guitar a euphemism for something else? ;-) We banjo player gotta pick hard! Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 02 - 10:57 PM Hey -- I think you hit on somethign there!! "Folk Musicians Pick Harder" -- print it up on a bumper sticker, you'll make a mint!! But I think "picking" on stringed instruments goes back into prehistory. No just gitcher mahnd outta thet gutter, Banjoest, or I'll sic an anonymous Bowdler onya!! :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 13 Aug 02 - 11:42 PM Well, whether ya got a teeny little nose or a huge schnoz, if yer a banjo player, ya gotta pick it hard! *G* Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 14 Aug 02 - 12:30 AM Out of the gutter? What do you mean? Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 02 - 10:52 AM Hugh, I don't know about the "gutter" characterization, but if one's mind is on a certain wavelength, nearly everything anyone says can be viewed as "double entendre." E.g., §;- ) |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 14 Aug 02 - 10:55 AM Y'know, Banj, I mighta just been projecting!! Sorry!! LOL! Sounds like Genie really knows that dirty talk purdy good, although I can't imagine where she learned it. Who taught you to say things like that, gal? Finger food!! My lands!! Carryin' on about tuna fish. Lawdamercy!! LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 02 - 11:04 AM Yah? Well, whadd're them bluenoses gonna do if somebody brings a squeeze box or breaks a G-string?! *BG* Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 14 Aug 02 - 11:15 AM Hey -- bring the words to that old favorite -- "Momma's Got a Squeezebox, Daddy Doesn't Sleep At Night" if you can find 'em!! LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 14 Aug 02 - 11:27 AM I get it, you guys are nasty. I'm embarrassed. I guess I'm a little slow on the draw. ;o) Hugh
|
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 14 Aug 02 - 12:16 PM Aw, don't be. Wuz jus' funning witcha, man. A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: GUEST,The Banjoest Date: 14 Aug 02 - 01:05 PM LOL! Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 02 - 03:36 PM Hugh, a squeezebox is a musical intrument, a G-string is something on a guitar, and the rest was just a description of a picnic with music. Can I help it if Amos's mind is in the gutter? Or yours, for that matter -- weren't you the one who asked if "picking banjos and guitars" was a euphemism for something else? (Kinda remind me of the patient whose psychiatrist drew a wavy line, a circle, and a straight line and asked him what he "saw" in the drawings.) If the last Balboa Park jam was wholesome, I'm sure the next ones will be, too. 0§:-) |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 02 - 03:44 PM BTW, don't banjos have G-strings, too? |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 14 Aug 02 - 04:43 PM Genie: Banjos have two G strings, a little one and a big man sized one. :-> Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 02 - 04:58 PM Great, Hugh! Twice the chance to break a string and blurt out something embarrassing in front of your audience! §'-) |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 14 Aug 02 - 06:30 PM Embarrassing? In 1980 I was working in a top 40s country band as a pedal steel player. My amp wasn't polarized with the sound system and I didn't realize it. It was time to introduce the band and that job fell on me. I reached for the mike and placed it near my lips and ZAP! A big blue spark flew from the mike to my lips and I yelled F**K! as loud as I could into the mike. Every head in the church turned, we were playing a barbecue that The Lady of "What Ever it Was" in Descanco, CA. throws every year. We played that evening and after playing that gig for five years we were never asked back. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 14 Aug 02 - 06:38 PM Cussing blue lightning again, Hugh? And at work?? Oh, shame!! ROTFLMAO!! Maybe they thought you were trying to give them directions!! LOL!! Anyway, that musta really smarted some, i guess. But you learned your lesson, right -- I mean you polarized the amp correctly-- so why didn't they ask you back?? :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: bet Date: 14 Aug 02 - 08:49 PM This is more chatter than I heard the 2 hours we were at the first gathering! Guess you're getting to know everyone. Still wish I could be there but Noooo wayyyyyy, School starts on Monday, the 20th of Aug. so my free time is almost up. I am going to be crazy tomorrow and go visit Kat. She's called around and found a couple of used guitars that they think have thin necks. I'm going down and check them out. Have fun. bet |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 02 - 10:59 PM Too funny, Hugh!! LOL! bet, can you make it for the jam on Sept. 28th? I hope so. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 25 Aug 02 - 01:28 AM Well, bet can't make it. She's in Colorado and for some reason doesn't want to drive down just for the jam. What's the head count so far? Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 25 Aug 02 - 01:47 AM Let's see. Janet & Bear and whom ever they bring, Amos and his two guys, if he can get them to come and me. I asked my mandolin player, Mike, to come but he has to show his AT-SNJ (A WW-II airplane) on that date to keep it tax free. If he does come it will be later in the day. He will becoming on the 28th of Sept. The above info is for Sept. 1st. and it's about the same for the 28th. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 25 Aug 02 - 02:18 AM If anyone is interested in seeing Mike's AT-SNJ/T6 you can see him and his airplane at www.barnstormers.com Once you get there, click on "Events" that go to "Walk-Through Romona Air Fair 2002." Mike is on page 21. There is a short cut to page 21 at the bottom of the "Romona Air Fair 2002" page. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 25 Aug 02 - 02:49 AM BJ, ya want I should ask a few of da guys from the SDFS song circle do they wanna join us? |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 25 Aug 02 - 03:11 AM Should ya want ta', yous go ahead. |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: bet Date: 25 Aug 02 - 09:04 PM It isn't that I don't want to drive over for the jam, there are just not enough hours for me to get back to work on time on Monday. I'm trying to get Tammy to go, she really enjoyed the music. Kat and I played a few together this morning before I came home, maybe I'll be able to play a few with you all next summer. bet |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 27 Aug 02 - 12:57 AM bet, we really wouldn't expect you to "drive over for the jam" -- though we'd love to have you. It's not like you're in Riverside or Alpine or somewhere like that. :) But do try to get Tammy to come! Wish I could be there Sept. 1. Have a good jam, all you SD pickers! See ya on Sept. 28. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 27 Aug 02 - 01:04 AM Genie Thank you. Looking forward to meeting you and doing some picking on the 28th. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 18 Sep 02 - 03:24 PM Just to confirm -- September 28th at noon, usual place by the Arboretum to the right of the reflecting pool. YEs? Pat K is coming -- the banjo player! Two bangos will really pull them in! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 18 Sep 02 - 04:23 PM As far I as I know. Two Banjos! It's going to draw them in...or push them away. ;-) Hugh |

Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Abby Sale Date: 18 Sep 02 - 07:43 PM I've been watching the Balboa Park threads for a while. I have to envy youse guys & I wish I could get there but that won't happen. It's a wonderful place for singing - so much to look at and a constantly changing scene. I do suggest your venue moves around the park from time to time. Even right in the middle of your jam. I had the pleasure of holding the West Coast meeting there a few years ago of one of our local folk groups...the Folking Roly Rounders. The FRR is the Official, nation-wide organization for those who sing/play folk songs while rollersblading. I skated and sang all through the park and had one of the most interesting and enjoyable afternoons of my life. Wish I could join you. |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 19 Sep 02 - 01:00 AM Another time, maybe, Abby? |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 02 - 01:22 AM Dang, Abby!! Wish you had let me know. BTW the annual Julian Bluegrass Contest is this weekend up in the hills. Dunno if I'll be able to make it but it's a puredee hoot. A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 19 Sep 02 - 11:45 AM I'm not going to make Julian this year. :o( I have to work.:o) Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: GUEST,Genie (in San Diego) Date: 28 Sep 02 - 03:00 AM Only 12 hours and 15 minutes till Balboa Park Jam Nombre Trois! (For you folks not on PDT, it's now 11:45PM Friday.) Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Steve Latimer Date: 28 Sep 02 - 08:42 AM Have fun folks |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 28 Sep 02 - 11:40 AM See you all there! Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 28 Sep 02 - 11:55 AM A tad gray but it will probably be fine by noon. Pat the picker says he'll come late, around 2:00... (the Adams Avenue Street Fair is on and he has a band he wants to catch) . A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 28 Sep 02 - 01:58 PM Amos: A bit gray but nice and cool. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 28 Sep 02 - 08:15 PM Well. folks, we had another bang-up day in the park with scads of good songs rising up and being sung, a little of the right lubricant being provided hother and yon, and some first rate picking and strumming and even bowing on the bass fiddle. Genie provided sheet music, and we learned a few new ones, and sang ourselves hoarse on ones we'd learned in the dim reaches of childhood. Banjoest, Sue, Genie, Bear and Bard and and all the others who came -- many thanks!! I had a wunnerful time. And so did BBW!! A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 29 Sep 02 - 09:09 AM Yup, from "Wildwood Flower," to "Night Rider's Lament," from "Dead Dog Cider" to "I'll Fly Away," from "Lorena" to "Unreconstructed Rebel," from "City Of New Orleans" to "The Viagra Song (Hard Times Come Again Once More), and from from "Amazing Grace" to "Lay, Lady, Lay," we played and sang up a storm and sometimes drew an audience. Weather was perfect by me -- cool enough to stay covered up from the UV rays most of the time, but warm enough for the fingers -- and no rain (which the morning clouds seemed to threaten us with). In fine Mudcat tradition, Amos refused his wife's request for "Danny Boy," but she got right into the groove with the jammers, anyway. Even Amos and Daly's daughter, Ariel, joined us briefly from the Bay Area via cell phone, so she could hear the old man pickin' and singin' with the rest of us. We jammed from a little after noon till about 4-ish, when finger blisters began to take their toll. BTW, I had never been in that section of Balboa Park. It's abso-posi-lutely spectacular! Gotta do these jams more often. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 29 Sep 02 - 08:41 PM Hey, Hugh -- Let's get a date for another one, sometime in October, eh? BTW, I just stopped by a fine little coffeeshop called "Twiggs" which has a performance space attached to it -- small but serviceable. They run an open mike, Wednesday nights, and then schedule performers for Thurs through Sat. They have a Ceilidh on Sundays. Dunno what they do evenings and Mon-Tues, but it might be a place to gather when the weather's too inclement for park gathering. My house is also open for bad weather gathers -- we have a medium size music room. A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 30 Sep 02 - 01:06 PM Ok Amos: I'll start working on it ASAP Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 30 Sep 02 - 09:14 PM Amos, do you have the phone number for Twiggs? I might check out the open mic this Wednesday if it's conveniently located. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 30 Sep 02 - 09:50 PM Genie -- It's at 4590 Park Boulevard --619-296-0616. The manager's name is Johnny C. He might set you up for a concert evening, who knows? A |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 30 Sep 02 - 10:25 PM Gee, Amos, I don't know if I'm solo concert caliber. (Wanna play lead guitar for me? *G*) First thing is to do the open mic and check out the competition, audience, etc. Judging from Saturday's jam, San Diego's got some pretty dern good pickers and singers. Thanks for the info. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: GUEST,Susan from California (at work) Date: 01 Oct 02 - 06:24 PM Keith and I had fun, we'll be more brave next time, maybe he'll even bust out his guitar. Are they always this much fun? |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: X Date: 02 Oct 02 - 03:27 PM Sue: This was only the 3rd time we ALL together. They will only get better. Hugh |
|
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Genie Date: 03 Oct 02 - 02:41 PM From the interest shown by the passersby, I imagine the jams may spontaneously grow if they are held on a semi-regular basis. Word gets around. Even for this one, we had some drop-ins singing along on "Ripple" (and the parody) and on "Amazing Grace" and maybe a couple of others. Also, Susan, Keith could've borrowed a guitar from one of us for a song or two. (Some of us were getting blisters, as it was.) Even if someone comes sans instruments, I'm sure they can find a way to join in. Genie |

Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one? From: Amos Date: 22 Oct 02 - 01:42 PM When you enter Balboa Park from the bridge at Laurel and 6th, and walk straight on in, you come to a large reflecting pool on your left; at the end of it there is a large arboretum made of lathwood but shaped a little like the Taj Mahal. If you go toward the arboretum you'll see a large greensward leading up to a tree on your right. We'll be setting around -- look for a bunch of geeks with string instruments. I'll be the one without a beard. (Surprise!) :>) See you there guys!! Sunday at 1200 it is. Regards, A |
