It's
On October 4
4th gathering of Baltimore musicians and their guests.
It is non-commercial and not open to the general public. We encourage
all musicians to bring your instrument and play... regardless of how
long it's been... and invite as many guests, family and friends, as
you like. Spread the word to others and come join us - the more, the
merrier. Play some music. See some people you haven't seen in years.

Feature
Bobby
B's Palace was once a club called Hoffman's. Many of the bands represented
at the jam session played there. The owner was Al Hoffman,
and he had a band called The Charades that also
played there. Al was the vocalist and they were great. Al
stopped in at the last Jam, and this time we've tapped
him to sing a set. The plan is to put a "big" band behind
him. Other members of The Charades might make it, but that's not
for sure. It's a "jam session" after all ... nothings
for certain until it happens, but that's the plan.
The
Majestics
are coming toplay. This group has endured and prospered since the
mid-'60s and still works steady. They're bound to be well-rehearsed
and great to hear.
Spread The Word
"The more, the merrier" rules, so look
up an old band mate or tell a friend. The club is ours and it holds
500 people. The best would be if it took until midnight for everybody
to get a chance to play.
If
You're Flying
There
are new rules from the TSA regarding carrying musical instruments
onto planes. These are TSA rules that apply to security check points,
but individual airlines may have their own policies. Our best advice:
-
-
print
it out and take it with you to the airport
-
check
the specific regulations for the airline you're flying
-
take
a direct flight if possible

OUR
MISSION:
We call these musical get-togethers a Jam Session
because at a jam session it doesn't matter who is who, who knows
who, who did what, who is doing what or who plans to do what. All
that matters is who shows up. It's not a performance and not a show.
Everybody buys a ticket and comes to play... for each other. There
are no rankings, no preferences and no privileges.
