Welcome to JAMO’S JAMS & GIGS for 6/22/11, issue #195. Happy third day of summer!! Pictures from the latest Smoke Shifters gig are up on http://www.myspace.com/jamoband. Just go to “view my pics”. Get out and support your bands!
My thanks to Mark Kenyon for this week’s educational item:
THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Innovative
2. Preliminary
3. Proliferation
4. Cinnamon
THINGS THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Specificity
2. Anti-constitutionalistically
3. Passive-aggressive disorder
4. Transubstantiate
THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. No thanks, I'm married.
2. Nope, no more booze for me!
3. Sorry, but you're not really my type.
4. No thanks, I'm not hungry.
5. Good evening, officer. Isn't it lovely out tonight?
6. Oh, I couldn't! No one wants to hear me sing karaoke.
7. I'm not interested in fighting you.
8. Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance, I have no coordination. I'd hate to look like a fool!
9. Where is the nearest bathroom? I refuse to pee on the side of the road.
10. I must be going home now, as I have to work in the morning.
Hey – I found a really professional videographer, and he lives right down the street. Who knew?? His contact info is Scott Salter; Video Production, Editing and Finishing; scott@ssalter.com www.ssalter.com 908 619 1176. Gang, I have never come across a more professional finished product. If you’re serious about making your band or event look great, check out the website and give Scott a ring. (Check out the website anyway – you’ll see what I mean.)
Send me your July gigs, folks! The earlier the better.
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. You can print it out for yer own use, etc. If you meet her at one of our gigs, be sure to say Hi…

If you’re serious about making your band or event look great, check out the website and give Scott a ring. (Check out the website anyway – you’ll see what I mean.)
