Tom's 2 Cents!
« on: January 05, 2012, 02:16:03 pm »
I'd like to think THE DADDY of all jams happens every October when I host the EAST COAST FAN JAM but Walt & I tossed this
CATEGORY back & forth before it became reality today.   I know with many of our jammers the last few years, proximity to one
another allowed the opportunity to exchange licks & ideas before utilizing car pooling prior to the jam.   Why even Chris Monk
who hails from Ontario Canada had suggested to me several times he'd commute a fair distance if it meant honing his guitar
skills.  Right now the names Ken Arnold & Bob Leo also spring to mind as east coast residents who'd welcome an occasional
mini-jam during the year leading up to our ULTIMATE EVENT.  Mentioned to Rich Carozza today was that these gatherings be
half-day get-togethers with an in-advance agreed upon attendance #.   Those attending would be responsible for bringing a
food or beverage item along with their equipment of course.   This way everyone gets involved in their own LOCALES keeping
The Ventures music alive & vibrant to the public while practicing their skills at delivering on cue the same.

Thanks for getting 'the ball rollin' on such a VITAL CATEGORY Rich.   
Suspect more will follow suit once the weather breaks a bit.
