- Here's the latest revision of the open jam sessions list. Further
- additions, comments, corrections, etc. VIA MAIL PLEASE, are welcome.
-
- Note: I receive an average of 250 mail messages per day. If you want
- to make sure that your update/correction/reply to this article comes
- to my attention when I'm working on the next version, please send
- your message as a reply to this article, i.e. make certain that you
- preserve the "Subject:" line.
-
- My thanks to all of you who have contributed to the list!
-
- This edition of the list has been (1) sorted by State/Province/Country
- (2) partially tagged with musical genres to make searching a bit
- easier (3) partially tagged with dates to help keep track of how
- current the various bits of information area and (4) reformatted
- a bit. (It's slowly mutating toward digest format.) I hope these
- changes, made in response to comments and suggestions, are helpful.
-
- Finally, if you notice a missing "Contributed-by" field where your name
- should be, please let me know; it's handy to have someone to steer
- questions to when they come up, and it's also nice to know who
- should get the credit for the entry. As a note to folks out there
- who have questions about particular jams: sometimes the person who
- contributed the entry has current information, sometimes they don't.
- The best way to find out is to ask nicely, and not to be too surprised
- if it turns out that they moved away from the area 2 years ago. :-)

- The "Midnight Blues Society" hosts an open Blues Jam every Sunday from
- 2:00 to 6:00 pm at the "Sports Club" in Chico. MBS has over 150 members
- with a lot of participation by both pro and recreational musicians. We
- assemble "bands" (vocalist(s), 2 guitars, bass, drums, horn/harmonica,
- etc.) off a sign-up list for half-hour jam sessions, with the objective
- of allowing as many musicians to play as possible. Very supportive and
- fun atmosphere. MBS also brings top blues groups to the Chico in an
- ongoing "Blues lovers" series. There are also blues jams in other
- neighboring towns such as Mt. Shasta, Redding and Oroville.

- throughout the evening.

- The Bar Bazaar (downtown) is once again holding a Monday Blues Jam; leads
- by a pick-up band called "P.R. Blues". They are generally much freer
- about letting people come up, usually having people up with them during
- the first set as well. The band itself isn't as tight as Van Ark's (the
- old jam leader), though. They also tend more towards a 70's rock thing,
- with some country elements thrown in as well.
