So, while I'm happy to participate if needed (I realize I may be excess baggage), I will be out of town and likely out of contact next week. This does not indicate a lack of interest on my part. Guitar, bass, or six string bass if you need it. I just need time to learn whatever song gets chosen. If I'm not needed, no worries. PM with any thoughts, questions, or threats. Cheers!

Hey SG101ers,
It looks like there isn't much interest in the member jam this year. (sad face emoticon)

Thanks,
Ferenc

It does seem that way Ferenc but several things have been adopted over the past few years that have wacked the modus operandi. Last year there were a few tunes signed up in advance but not as many in the two years I'm familiar with preceding.

MOM SURFING was curating 7&8 and I don't know how many years before. Last year I was gifted with the sign up sheet on the day of the event and there were plenty of takers that made for an interesting event/evening. I may even have audio recordings that are from that night. This year is limited by time factor (Jeff, is it only an hour again?) and I believe Carol said she would not be available on Sunday to manage. I would volunteer but I don't know if it is my place to do that. Last year I ran it like many sign up sheet jams of many different varieties. It worked out fairly well.

This is also to announce that Gellert and I have been emailing each other (not posting ..but here is the first tell tale sign ) and we are discussing performance of SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE (Ventures) - we need a bass player and a drummer. Maybe we need a surf drummer 101 off shoot site (and now looking at this while more awake the next day...maybe the word is really "chute" ).
I have offered to play bass and or guitar for other sets but as of yet no takers besides Gellert. Open for MISERLOU (bass most likely) and NEW VICTORS on rhythm guitar. I think at this time I only want to fly one instrument.
I would also be interested in playing rhythm for BOMBORA in either Bambi or Jon & the Nightriders style if anyone is interested.

I want to encourage everybody who has even the slightest bit of skill to perform.

I will never attain the perfection I desire to acquire - but I can try. Stumbling and failing along the way, but always dusting off and trecking onward. I

Those even remotely thinking about this should re-read Ferenc's post above - especially those lonely toiling souls with no surf in their area, learning & playing along with backing tracks. If I were free I'd be there- and if I was there, I'd have a guitar along. (Hmm, which one?)

Honest, it'll be OK, really. Everyone is invested in just playing the music. Smile. Have fun, play it, celebrate it. And don't forget to breathe.

I'll be happy to do either rhythm or lead on that song as needed.

I can be your Huckleberry on drums for many of the songs listed if Scotty Bravo doesn't show or nobody else can or wants to. I'd have to learn a few and will play most of them badly, but I know quite a few standards.

Songs in the thread I haven't played include:

New Victor
Bombora
Redlined
Flight of the surf guitar
Return of the...
Viva la Vida
Somewhere over the rainbow
A couple others on Gellerts list that I can't think of right now.
I'm sure I can learn enough to get through those and any others by then.

Is someone going to try to firm up a list or will it be a day of kind of thing?

Should be fun.

Jamie, not Duff. He's welcome to jump in too.

*SET LIST PROPOSAL*

1. MISERLOU - Maxx on lead
2. SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE - Gellert on Rhythm , Don on Lead
3. NEW VICTOR - Fritz on Lead, Don on Rhythm

Will keep amending (editing) this post until all tunes and players are listed, so refer back to this list. It will be changing .....

I can easily do rhythm guitar on Misirlou, if that's still open. Just need to know which version.

I can also do leads on Surf Party, Walk Don't Run (original Ventures version), or Pipeline.

This man has been certified insane!!!

Well, he is an insanely good drummer. I have only ever worked with one sane drummer anyway, but he had his crazy period. Now he's one of Nashvilles top call session players and has many Grammys lots of album credits. Beth says Dane Carter is about as level (also insanely good) headed as they come , but I have not played with him only hired him for shows.
