JAMO's JAMs & GIGs: Issue #217 for 11/23/11

Happy Thanksgiving, and welcome to JAMO’S JAMS & GIGS for 11/23/11, issue #217.
A correction for tonight’s JAMBUSH: we start at 9pm, not 10 at Miller’s Tavern,2 Beaver Rd , Annandale NJ!

Check the JAMS section below – some events are cancelled for the Thanksgiving holiday. (??) Send me your December gigs, gang. Hey – I don’t know why some of the text in this email shows up small…ask Reverbnation!

What are YOU doing this New Year’s Eve????? I’m looking at some R&R in November and December, except for 12/2 & 12/3 – that is, of course, unless something really good comes up. Maybe I’ll just come out and razz you guys…..

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…
