Slow Jam has moved from the 2nd Tuesday to the 2nd Thursday of the month. This upcoming Thursday (Feb 8th) is the 2nd Thursday of the month and we’ll be having our jam at Music And More at 7:00 pmWe moved the jam so we wouldn’t be conflicting with the every Tuesday jam at "The Wild Chicken" in Loomis. I hope to see you at Music & More this Thursday.
Friday night we did the "Open Mic" night at Lake Of The Pines Music. A lot of the kids who take lessons there played songs on guitar or piano. Then the folks who work there got together and did a song. Then I played a couple celtic tunes, one of which I compleatly messed up. Oh well, sometimes stage fright is still an issue even when you’ve been doing this for 30 years.
Then I invited Sean and Michael up to play a couple of Django tunes and it went really well. We really had a big sound for just an acoustic guitar, a mandolin, and electric bass.
The next performance of "The Swing Band With No Name" will be on Feb 18 at the Pioneer Methodist Church in Auburn. We’ll be playing at 2:30 as part of the Music for Humanity concert. All proceeds go to benefit Habitat for Humanity and the Interfaith Food Closet.
Speaking of "The Swing Band With No Name" we’re considering calling ourselves either "The Hot Club of Auburn" or "The Hot Club of the Sierras." It’s a reference to Django’s band "The Hot Club of Paris" which is where Gypsy Jazz really got it’s start. We’ll see. I guess it’s a better name than “"Poultry In Motion"
