Notes:

Billy Bourbon played a 45 minute set on announcing his new band with Randy on bass and Herm Sarduy on drums.

After I got done playing and went to the car Randy asked me if I was playing with any band right and told him about my situation: I work evenings and unless I make the big time I'll have to stick with my regular job.  He said he understood the situation, he was working at the K mart in Iowa City when they closed that down and since then has been a regular on the jam circuit.  He still plays in Rare Earth but I told him if he needs a fill in on drums he can always look me up.

Jeff came down from Fort Madison to jam and we didn't play together.  Julie and Ryan showed up later and Terry paired us together, Jeff did play sax on Knockin on Heaven's Door.  I do miss playing guitar alongside Jeff so we may have get together and do that.

Not a lot of rocking on this set list. The Bear added a new introduction to Little Sister and he wanted to play Rhiannon and Wicked Game.   When Ed Butler did a version of Wicked Game earlier in the year I thought he did the best version but tonight Julie reclaimed that song.  Everybody just loves how she sings.

Jeremy Jacobs had his two guitar stolen from his car 10 days ago,  He finally got all of his gear back after they arrested a 17 year old trying to pawn his stuff off.  Jeremy is one of the lucky ones, he left his car unlocked one night and that cost him.  Hopefully he'll learn to lock the car up or bring his guitars inside.

Jeff finally got his wish to play Radar Love, with Terry playing drums.  It sounded neat.

It was a pretty big crowd for today's jam.  Before my cameo, somebody wanted to hear a drum solo and Trevor gave it to them.  It was a good thing that I had my earplugs with me.  I'm not much into drum solos but I may have to work one up since people keep requesting them.  Namely Ryan.

I know there were photos and videos posted but have yet to see any.  I know Tami took a video of Wicked Game.  Here's hoping that she captured a nice stage moment with me and Julie on stage.

Yesterday, I did the Cabin Jam.  Pictures are posted but I will eventually post them this week since I'm idle with no jams to speak of, we'll be busy at work.
