Looking forward to this year’s jam.
We decided to celebrate the arrival of 2006 by holding an open house jam celebration at our rehearsal space. Fortunately Joe and Lori Raffa found the idea intriguing enough to make the trip from Syracuse. Armed with two well-stocked coolers and a folding table, they transformed our space into a pretty cozy spread: food, beer, wine, champagne, whiskey a plenty. We also invited a bunch of our good friends. Everyone was welcome to play an instrument [including 2 full drum kits] if the mood struck. The result- sonic jello. Clocking in at over 45min this is a heaping pile of jam. I’ll do my best to credit the guilty parties.
