Looks like fun.
I'm sure you will kill it.
What amp is that behind the fan? Looks like a Matchless or Bad Cat or something.

As long as it's hand wired point to point with silver solder and cloth covered wire, I'm sure it will sound great.

Ace Pepper is the guitarist, he also builds amps so that's his creation. Some kind of 25 watt Marshell-esque circuit that he runs a zen drive in front of I think. He sounds really good through it but I prefer the more extreme crystal lattice of Twin's EQ.
The jam was fun. Some older lady from New Orleans showed up and killed it on the drums. I was transported back in time with that New Orleans 2nd line groove. It was killer! Sometimes someone grabs an instrument and you just know immediately that this person has done thousands of gigs and tens of thousands of hours of practice. It was one of those moments.

Texas summers are different from Canadian summers. Have you ever owned an A/C unit or do you just rub glaciers on your head to cool down?
Thread winner. Beautiful 70's pimp cane tenor!!!

Funny you put this up. I went and watched a blues jam last week and am going to jump in next week.
I’m nervous as hell. Not my usual style and I realised while practising this week to backing tracks how deep blues guys knowledge is over those 3 chords.
I also wish I didn’t ride my motorbike there and drink a beer alone and then leave. Now when I turn up I have to live up to this air of mystery. Oh well, my plan is to start winging it and something magical will just happen and I’ll play things I never imagined possible. They’ll all be so awestruck.

Yes, it’s called central air and it’s powerful enough to cool down even the most heated redneckTexas summers are different from Canadian summers. Have you ever owned an A/C unit or do you just rub glaciers on your head to cool down?

The beauty of a blues jam is you never know who's gonna show up. Could be a bunch of hacks, could be a bunch of dudes who want to play rolling stone songs (last night) and you could get someone who rolls through that is a high caliber player (also last night). It keeps you on your toes. There are some pretty good guitarists that show up regularly to that jam though with most of them blues is also not their main music.There were five bassists there last night which is kinda uncommon...
Find a club that is willing to let you start one. Easy weekly gig. Some of the jams around here can get packed like a friday or saturday night since they've been running them for a long time. I thought about approaching a club to do one on mondays or tuesdays but I'm up front; with the owner that you need to commit to at least a year before you're gonna see the fruits of such an endeavor. Everyone wants overnight success, not a year of losing cash, lol.
