Absolutely... I've been listening to RL Burnside/Junior Kimbrough Northern Mississippi Blues alot lately... It's amazing how simple the tuning is, but to hear and see them play it and master it is humbling to say the least... When we getting together?
I like that modal blues stuff just fine. Lately I have been on a honky tonk trip. Merle, Buck, you know, that Bakersfield sound. And of course, the sacred Hanks: Williams I, II and III, Thompson, Snow, Penny and Lochlin. As far as where, well, do we want to pick at a cruise or get together at someone's pad? What do you call a guy who hangs around musicians? The drummer. "Boom Kish!"
Phil, You got that *****in' backyard that would be cool...or you all can come by my pad...we can throw some links on BBQ and there's always ice cold beer...
Phil, you started it... How many bluegr*** musicians does it take to screw in a light bulb? 5, one to screw the bulb and four to complain about the use of electricity. How many lead guitarist does it take to srew in a light bulb? 5, one to screw it in and four to stand around saying "hell, I can do THAT!" (rimshot here)
I live in Joplin....yeah the drags might be time for a jam. I play harmonica, b*** guitar and washboard. An alternative to using a guitar case for a drum is simply a cardboard box. I think they did that in an Elvis video. This was taken a couple weeks ago at a biker bar jam in Tulsa....just sitting in for a few tunes with the house jam band on a Sunday afternoon. The washboard with attachments in the trunk of the 47 Plymouth prior to driving it to a gig. Sounds like fun.....keep us posted.
I can play the drums, sing and even pick at the guitar. Too bad I can only do these things on my RockBand game on my PS3. Sounds cool though and interested in helping out whereever. I guess I can throw some funny smoke on stage.
Burny, I have the house all torn up for remodeling, so we need to sweet talk my wife into having people over. I'll start working on that now. '47 Ply, you've got the right idea. Maybe if we do this at get togethers all over we can record them and make a little HAMB compilation and raise a little dough to give back to the HAMB for all it does for all of us. GV, let's keep this going: What is the definition of perfect pitch? That's when you throw the banjo in the dumpster, it lands on another banjo and two accordians... How do you know when the bandstand is level? The drummer drools out of both sides of his mouth.
The version I heard was "Why do drummers join bands? So they can hang around with musicians!" Ba-Dump bump! And while we're at it, what's the difference between an accordion and an onion? Nobody cries when you cut up an accordion!! Ralph
An explorer was trecking throught the jungle with his guide, There was a loud constant din from the jungle drums. It went on and on till the explorer was about to go mad and ask the guide what they ment. The guide replied " Drums OK, only get scared if drums stop!" "Why, what happens if the drums stop!" exclaimed the explorer. B*** solo, replied the guide.
Same joke, different punchline. Fellow is about to go mad from the jungle drums and finally screams, "I can't take this anymore, the drums, the drums, please make them stop!" At which time a native sticks his head out of the jungle and says, "HEY, give us a break, it's not our regular drummer!"
Jokes! A road...and on which are a tuba player and a rac****, both hit by a car p***ing through. Whats the difference? ...The rac**** was on his way to a gig. OR... How do you get a drummer to stop playing? ...Put sheetmusic infront of him!
How many b***ists does it take to change a light bulb? None. The piano player can do it with his left hand. Too far to pop by and dazzle you all with my three chord bluegr*** busking prowess in G. Unless anyone is up for some techno wizardry virtual jamming in the ether somewhere like www.macjams.com or www.kompoz.com?
Simple, throw an accoustic instrument in the trunk next time we all get together and let's see what transpires.
It may come as a surprise but there are a bunch of right coasters here that play too. I tickle ivories and can play a fool as well as anyone.
34Hup, I don't think the Left Coast has any exclusive on good pickers. And we're not the onliest ones that can get together to BBQ, do it in Smyrnia and post some pics. Maybe a Youtube, even.
Phil...........you may rememeber , i have a nice Marshall Amp, mics and stands we can use............
we talked bout this for this years drags...but that was forever ago! lil late to organize it now i spose! i think the idea is cool! a kool name, and a few hunnert members....hit some shows.....be really fun~!
Couple of jokes for ya: What's the crazy thing about dating French Horn players? They always want to stick there hand up your **** when you make out... What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians? A Drummer! Seriously though, if the HAMB jam makes it to Texas, I'm in for Acoustic or Electric guitar.
You probably don't want to know. But, the ribs didn't heal right after heart surgery and I had to get them trimmed so they would quit grinding on each other. Still, the heart repair was well worth the trouble. I feel a lot better.
Hey, you hear about the b*** player that locked his keys in his car? It took two hours to get the drummer out. Just wanted to share that one.
hey ****er, im a drummer! and, i dont get it!!!! as a former drummer, i have never heard that one!! thats funny ****! and phil, you were right.....now i really dont wanna know! glad things are gion well for ya...hadnt caught anything about it for several months...
Well ****, I don't know if anything would or could happen in my area but I've played lead guitar for more than 40 years(God that hurts) in alot of good bands that have opened for many big acts in various styles. Still active with good equipment but don't sing anywhere near as well as I did. If something happens around here someplace, I'm in
