Last night was a milestone day in Hampden,
Otago. The inaugural meeting of the ;Jamden’ took place. Riz and Rick and myself
spent three solid hours playing our guitars and drums from a diverse catalogue
of songs
We gathered in the deep winter dark at the Presbyterian
Hall, and played some music on guitars.
Live. Tentatively at first, but with burgeoning confidence as the evening sore
on.
The point of Jamden is to provide a
community forum for local people to make their music and share their ideas.
This is a ‘muso’ free zone though. In that, I mean the brief we described to
each other was a ‘softly-softly’ approach.
We will gather more members by approaching
individuals and teaching them a secret handshake or something, and then sit in
on fortnightly jam-sessions, with special guest appearances by local luminaries
and musical talents.
So, watch this space, I guess.
Awesome
