BIG BAM JAM - Sept 22nd
Long ago... in the last cluster of starz
Jammin' did dwell on planet Jake, and planet Marz
A dark silence fell down and rolled out on both the landz
The last note left hanging, too long, without the bandz
The jamrz cried out, THE MUSIC, it bleedz
And flows to the valleys, now red from the sedge
Then all was dark and silent, not a note made it through
And the stars were all fading, fading out, but a few
Then the last twinkling of light, in A minor I think
Reflects off in the distance, one glimmering blink
Could one note have made it, so faded, so low
Then our minds blew across it and it caused to grow
The light became deafening, the note blinded my eyez
And the jamrz raised voices in one massive cry...

BAM
BIG BAM JAM

Updated Sept 20th, 2001.
Make sure you take the time to read them.
They're short and to the point and they
are what makes the JAMs possible.

Bring your own food, beverages, etc. There will be plenty of equipment there, but you're welcome to bring your own stuff if we have room for it. The hot tub will be bubblin'(bring a suite and towel in you plan to do the tub).SORRY...the pool is off limits during the jam, unless someone wants to spring for a PAID PRO lifequard. The networked computer games will be available on 3 or more computers, plus the Amiga.

Need to express yourself?
Wanna let everyone know you're gonna be there?
Or just checkout what others are saying?

Monster Halloween Jam
Oct 30th, Monster Halloween Jam, Camp Ben McCulloch

Click here for some of the sites and sounds

The turn-out was low and so was the temperature! At 5pm it was somewhere in the low 70's and by the last song, I'm guessing it was in the low 40's. It rained Saturday morning, but by jam time (5pm) the weather was great! Because of the low turn-out, we didn't get started till late, about 8pm, but Paul, Kirt, Jake and others played acoustics until then.

The first band up was Cooley, Barrington & Symms. They opened with Grand Funk Railroad's "Are You Ready"! Excellent!! The rest of their set was originals. Bob, Steve & Mike put on a great show! Sounded great guys!

Next up was Midget Rules. Clinton, Jim & Dan never fail to put on a great show and this was no exception. They played a couple different times through the night. Clinton was having a bit of trouble with strings breaking, so Jim took the oportunity to lay down pearls of wit and wisdom to the people while Clinton changed strings. Dan's the man on drums and he rocked the stage all night. GREAT!! as usual guys!

We had a "Free For All" jam for a couple hours! Dan & Steve played double drum sets during most of the FFA jam. I remember some Hendrix being played. Kirt jumped up on stage a few times to help with the vocals and both bands and a couple of other guitar players rounded out the FFA jam.

The last set was Midget Rules. It was cut short. It was after mid-night and the campgrounds people wanted us to wrap it up. Last song, requested by Jake, was "Me & My Machine". After packing up all the equipment, we all went to a couple different camp sites and played acoustics. Paul was pulling out a bunch of tunes to keep the campers singing.
