Issue #133: JAMO's JAMs and GIGs for 5/20/10

Welcome to JAMO’S JAMS & GIGS for 5/20/10, issue #133!!


This is the first issue with the new format. I’ve noticed from

your questions that this thing doesn’t get read much, so I’m

reducing the length to make it a bit easier.


(PR TEAM EDIT: Oh Pssshaawww!!! This is the hottest thing since pink underwear on Captain Kangaroo on THIS side of the river! (but, then agen...it's Pennsyltucky!)


INDEX:

Section 1: This stuff

Section 2: Gigs – reduced to three weeks out

Section 3: Jams

Section 4: Local Artist CD listings

Section 5: Notes

Section 6: My personal JAMO schedule



Ok- for all of you who prefer DJ’s instead of live music,

this one’s for you: http://www.apacheclips.com/media/17382/OFF_TOPIC_Worse_Wedding_DJ_EVER/

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!!!)
