This is the first of five straight days of jams and playing guitar and it didn't exactly started out on the right note.  We had Adam playing electric guitar and somehow he didn't fit into the format.  I was surprised he was down at Checkers' rather than the Silver Star Saloon's Bacon Jam where he could play guitar.  I could have used him on my set by while playing Dead Flowers he was actually putting his guitar and amp away.  Another reason why I did Rock Me Baby as a blues, thinking he was going to jam with me.  That didn't happen.

It was Sofia's birthday and she was a duet partner with Steve on a couple songs.  Steve shocked us by playing Don't Bogard That Joint (!), a song I have messed around and did nothing with. There was another song I did with Steve singing but dammed if I know which one.

Dead Flowers was requested by Brooksie.  So I decided to do that one.

Let The Four Winds Blow was tacked on at the end of She Belongs To Me.

Beforehand, Julie convinced me to try acupuncture in a attempt to get over the back spasms and it did seem to help.  I didn't do any favors trying to help Dave move some speakers into the car so I probably will be paying for that tomorrow.

Skip showed up but didn't play bass.
