Thanks for the response. I have in fact planned a six year old's birthday party, (twice as a matter of fact! - kids 11 & 16 now), so I know what you mean! :shock:

I'd love to try to make it to your place for the '07 jam. Let me know when the final date is set, and I'll see if i can work out some vacation time around it.

I'm about an hour & a half north of Chicago - depending on traffic - straight down I-90. I actually grew up in Chicago, so I am pretty familiar with downtown, and the near west suburbs of Franklin Park, Melrose Park, North Lake, etc. Definatley keep me in the loop! :D

David, we'd love a set, when you have time. No hurry though, you've a lot on your plate.

Dan, Riverside Jam started as a college band reunion. More or less. We figured that there is a river just about anywhere, hence, a good title. It's been going since 2000 and as David says, the host sets up the rules for each individual jam, on the theory that the host is doing a lot of the leg work, so he/she gets to decide what's up. So hope to see you in the Berkshires....
The current Chicago crowd is alot of fun to play with as well. Not to confuse you more, but Chicago is the place where the original RJ group first met each other.

Best,

The Riverside Jam is kind of strange in that the "rules" are usually set up by whoever is hosting that particular year. A lot of things depend on the time involved in planning, the venues where the gigs are being played and other things that are hard to even explain. If you've ever tried to plan a six year old's birthday party (which I have to say is something I've never done), then you probably have a good idea as to what this vague explanation means.

That being said, I am hosting Riverside Jam 2007, being held here in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. More likely than not, it will be the first full weekend of August. The way things are shaping up, we may have "events" going on the entire week. Consider this your invitation.

Also, how close is Janesville from Chicago? A lot of the folks involved in Riverside hail from the Chicagoland area and I try to get out there at least a few times each year to jam. Let me know if that's something you'd like to participate in and I'll keep you updated on any news.

Thanks also go to Jim Martin, one of my students (whose hands can be seen on the cover of The Complete Idiot's Guide To Playing Bass Guitar), who made a copy of the photo-disc for me.

Just got back from this year's Riverside Jam in Minneapolis and need to answer a lot of emails - I'll try to post an overview of it tomorrow.

Oh, John, Laura (and whomever): I can get you a copy of the photo-disc as well. Say the word.

All thanks go to David Hodge. I had mentioned some time ago that I wished I had pics of the 2004 jam, David said he had some and would send them to me. I had forgotten all about it, and got a package in the mail last week. It was a CD with all these pictures.

Probably a little crazy posting so many pics, but I didn't want anyone to be left out by accident, and the scenery pics are nice too. :D

Laura- I had visited your family's webpage many times looking for these photos.

And I hope this encourages others to attend the next jam. I had a wonderful time and was amazed at all the great and various styles of music played. It was awesome.

Great Pics!

They brought back a lot of good memories.
It's hard to believe that was two year ago already.

Any chance of Twist of Fate playing BBC in the future?
I'd love to see you guys but keep missing your Sandisfield gigs.

Anyways thanks for the memories and here's one more of that

OK I just wanted to show off the Strat.

Take Care

John
