Issue #152: JAMO's JAMs & GIGs

Welcome to JAMO’S JAMS & GIGS for 8/19/10, issue #152. It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of Dan Balde, good friend and musician.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to go and get at least one person to sign up for this email. If you all do it, ‘specially if those people are listeners, maybe we’ll get some audiences for our live music!!! (Send ‘em to www.reverbnation.com/jamodrummer to sign up)

SECTION 5: -----------------------------NOTES!!!--------------------------
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…

CAN’T STOP NOW still needs your votes: Please go http://www.cantstopnow.com/, click on the “Vote” image, then on the “Enter and Vote” image. That’s all it takes to help the band out!!!

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!!!)

For those of you who are on the left side of the river, Barry Hay is still turning out the listings for live gigs, etc out there. Go to www.hayblue.com to find out anything you could want to know about who/what/where in the Lehigh Valley! (I know that Barry also does this on his own time, and has the same intentions that I do, so don’t hesitate.)
