So what are we gonna jam to?
Hey folks, since this year’s Lotusphere is incorporating an Advisor-style Jam Session, I was wondering what songs people know. I can’t play, I can only sing (and dubiously at that.) But, I figured if a bunch of us could agree on certain tunes, we would be ready to play them at the Jam. I know that Ben Poole and Julian both play bass, and Bruce is a drummer… how about some guitarists?
Two songs that I can get on stage and sing without a problem are:
Hard To Handle – Black Crowes *
Blister in the Sun – Violent Femmes
If pressed, I can probably do Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison too. Other than that, you’ll probably see me on background vocals. Mic in one hand, Drink in the other! How about anyone else?
* Yes, I know that Hard to Handle is a cover song, but I would do it Crowes style 🙂

Count me in – I play guitar…. I’ve been waiting on someone to ask about some music to do!!
I’ll get out Hard To Handle and I’ll find the Femmes song – from looking at the tab it doesn’t appear to be too difficult…

I only play clarinet, not real practical in a jam. So I’m hoping to sing — U2, Dave Matthews Band, Billy Joel (I can -nail- Billy Joel).

Hey Ed, didn’t think you swung that way… nailing Billy Joel and all
For Billy though, we definitely need a piano, or a keyboard that can mimic that. I think Rocky needs to get on that
And excellent Chris, it’ll be nice to jam with ya…
Also Ed, I’m sure I know SOMEONE that will play drums while you belt out some Dave Matthews
*cough* Bruce *cough*
I think this is going to be fun!

Shouldn’t “Desperado” be in your list Greyhawk or is that an after 1am only thing?

Although I do love Desperado, it doesn’t lend itself well to the whole “jam session” thing… heh.
Maybe at Kimono’s
