Issue #210: JAMO's JAMs & GIGs for 10/5/11

Welcome to JAMO’S JAMS & GIGS for 10/5/11, issue #210.

Send me your October gigs, gang. I can’t believe that it’s October already. What the hell happened to the summer?????

PLEASE DO THIS FOR MARC YOUNG: Please vote for him for the Lehigh valley Music Awards. He was nominated for Best Piano Player. It’s spelled wrong on the ballot: that's right Mark Youn=Marc Young!!! When you go to the link and put in your info make sure your "affiliation" at that particular box is (Local Musician) and if your zip code is from NJ then use 18020 as a zip or it might get tossed. Then go down and vote for MARK YOUN. If you’ve got extra time don't forget to write in Paul Berger on Guitar, Jim Flynn on drums, and Tracy Lee on female vocals. Thanks everyone for the support and here's that link( go Mark Youn!!!): http://www.zapsurvey.com/Survey.aspx?id=90164e50-e57a-42fa-accb-b6f33e28748d.

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… or stop in at Larry Holmes Ringside any Thurs, Fri or Saturday ...and buy a brew.
