Hey – Bands take note: if you need a live recording of your band, or if you need a sound system for gigs or parties at venues big or small, give JIM FERRANTE a call. You can even rent a backline for special events. (Drums, PAs, amps, etc.) Jimmy is the owner of Stirling Audio Services, (and a great guitar player too). He has a 32+++ track Mac/Cubase 5 recording setup, and he can get it done for you. Demos, CD’s, whatever. He also has a warehouse full of audio systems ready for you to use anywhere – he’ll rent you a backline, or he’ll set up lights, sound, have a guy there to mix on the fly, and record it too!!! OR, anything in between. Contact him at 732-417-1001, or jimmy@stirlingaudioservices.com, www.stirlingaudioservices.com. Trust me on this one – he’ll get it done for you whether you’re in a small bar or a huge arena. I use him all the time!!! (Come to Franky & Johnny’s to see/hear what I mean.) (Obviously he can make ANYONE sound good!!!)

Issue #126: JAMO's JAMS and GIGS for 4/1/2010
Welcome to JAMO’S JAMS and GIGS for 4/1/10, issue #126!!
There are no April Fool’s gotchas in this email, folks. Too many people get it confused the way it is!! (Public Relations Team edit: "Ohh so self-deprecating, Master Furrminator -- but, we all concurr: you do a FABULOUS JOB!!")
CLICK HERE:
)
My apologies go out to Bob Lanza – he has had a new CD out, and I completely forgot to include it here. I HATE when I do that! Anyway, here are the particulars: the CD is called “Things Ain’t So Bad”, and it ain’t!!! It’s available on CD baby, or go to http://www.myspace.com/boblanzabluesband.
So if you’re wanting to support local artists, go to the bottom of this email and BUY THE CDs LISTED THERE! They are cheap at twice the price, and the music rocks. Support your local musicians.
I NEED MORE FANS ON REVERBNATION!! If you haven’t done so already, please go to www.reverbnation.com/jamodrummer and sign up as a fan.
Hey- if anyone out there knows someone who graduated from Dunellen High School in 1970, there’s a reunion being planned. Go to http://forums.delphiforums.com/dhs2001?msg=359.10 (If this doesn’t work, just send me an email). I’m sure that 1969 and 1971 will be welcome too.
There are quite a few of us who have recently released CDs, so I’ve put together a playlist for you at the end of this email. Please check out the music, and support the musicians.
If you have any trouble reading this thing, just go to http://jamogigcentral.blogspot.com/, and it will all be there. Marisa Chiara does that for me, and I really appreciate her help. If you meet her at one of our gigs, be sure to say Hi…

There are quite a few of us who have recently released CDs, so I’ve put together a playlist for you at the end of this email. Please check out the music, and support the musicians.
If you have any trouble reading this thing, just go to http://jamogigcentral.blogspot.com/, and it will all be there. Marisa Chiara does that for me, and I really appreciate her help. If you meet her at one of our gigs, be sure to say Hi…
