Hi all!
I don't think this email got through to Harp-L on my first attempt, so I'm sending it again.
The 3rd Bluesharp.org Online Jam, www.Bluesharp.org/jam.html , has officially started. This Jam will run for 6 months. Drop by and listen to Mitch Weiss and myself do a little jamming and welcome everyone aboard! The songs and conversation from the previous two jams are now accessible from the Jam Forum. There was some really great music last time. The submissions stretched the harp in all sorts of directions with all sorts of creative, traditional interpretatons in between.
For this jam, the good people at AntakaMatics, Inc donated an entire set of 7 Turbolids in all colors for First Prize, and the new Turboharp AX-S20, for a second prize. For third prize there is a Fender BASSMAN Lunch Box. Ok, it's only a lunch box, but the amp was too expensive. The first prize winner also receives 2 Special 20's in the key of A and E. Hey, I wouldn't want to ship you some Turbolids without you having something to wrap them around!
For this jam, we have 3 songs you can try your hand at, ranging from easy to advanced. There is something for everyone! Mitch Weiss wrote 2 of the songs and he will officiate as co-host in the Jam Forums. The advanced jam requires some overblows or a chromatic harmonica and Mitch is hoping to spark up some conversation.
The prizes are great, but, of course, the jam is not really about winning prizes. It's about playing music, listening to other people's music, and sharing with your peers. Stop on by and have some fun!
