Six Saxes Six Singers Some others

Jam session review for 25th August

Well, this was a session that started quietly, never rose to any great heights except when you, dear reader, were playing, fizzled out a bit before the Bendigo Towers print department left for a night of debauchery elsewhere,  or not, as the case may be, and then finished with some fine singing from Alva the Irish impromptu from the floor.

Not that it was without its charms, as ever - a technical conference in the general vicinity of the house mixing board, a few changes of opinions, cords, chords, doodads and thingies before it all lurched into form, Bebop from Jane and Ian for starters, some early trad/jug band music from Roy, a coupla solos from the Evans, the usual solid support from Philip (p) Ivan (b) and Fforde (b), and of course some brilliant brilliant drumming from Martin, who is so modest he will probably delete the last sentence as being overly effusive.

(Editor's Note: I'll leave it be ... effusiveness is good for the soul.)

Although it seemed like a quieter session than usual, there were, in all, 21 musos at the Big C, and several of them actually enjoyed themselves. This sort of thing has to stop before it becomes habit forming.

Toodlepip!!
