Western Jam, Firebird Studios, Bristol, 25th February 2024

bertie

quick update on my "availability"   -  Wilfy had a tumble on Monday and hadnt recovered enough so theyve brought his op forward......... to today !!!!    (they've got to cut the top of his tibia off, rotate it 180 and screw/plate it back on !)

So there is a chance I'll be there (no I dont want to play that one)  -   but please keep me on "ad-hoc filler where and when"

hopefully see you all then

No worries @bertie, everything crossed for Wilfy's op

Hope things work out OK @bertie.

I've identified you for songs roles where you've got a possible interest with a question mark after your name. 

Right now we need to identify songs where we have suffcient definite roles to be able to play it. We can then be flexible on the day with multiple run throughs with different line-ups.

We've already got White Riot by The Clash on the list. Is that OK?

I'll add the other three to the list. We've played 'Is She Really Going Out With Him' at a previous jam I think, so I can help on bass with that one, unless we can persuade @mart to come along and he wants to do it.

I assume you'll do lead guitar on all the ones you mentioned.

Appreciating that we already have plenty of new songs proposed, but as we don't yet have a full band line-up for many, wondered if there is any support for Run To You by Bryan Adams?

I'm up for it. I've played it many times.

Depending on who sings it, I prefer to do it a tone lower than the original, to avoid a capo on the 2nd fret.

I hate capos throttling the neck. But happy to do it in the origin key (F#m) if we really have to

Happy to have a stab at the singng. Definitely down half a step though as @stratman3142 suggested.

Actually it needs to be down a whole step to avoid a capo. Would that work for you?

Happy to grab the bass on Run To You if it's going. Low key banger

@mrkb as we have all roles covered (ex drums) for Run To You it would be good to know if this is a track you are ok with from a drumming pov?

Even better

Here's an updated song list. We now have a full line up for 'Run To You'. Just a remonder that others can still have a go at that one if they want to, because we can do more than one run through.

Let me know if you spot any errors
