Weekend summertime fun at the Flying Delta Ranch Acoustic Music Jam and more ...

 



Sunday afternoon acoustic music jam fun at the Flying Delta Ranch compliments Capt. Phred T!
----------------------------------------------------------

Riverton Acoustic Music Jam 

At the Riverton Holiday Inn Convention Center - Wed. eves 6:30PM - 9:30PM - Aug. 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st

NOTE: A group from PEO Chapter AZ with spouses is tentatively coming to hear the jam session on Wed., Aug. 17, at the Holiday Inn. So be ready for some additional audience participation fun as there may be more than the usual attendees that night.

At the Riverton Senior Citizens Center - Wed. eves 6:30PM - 9:00PM - Aug dates; none at this time.
Soft drinks, eats and treats to pass are welcome... so, bring your favorite delectables along to share!
  • PA/sound system provided for voice and most acoustic electric string instruments with use of your own wireless instrument adaptor, with/without onboard electronics via an instrument cable or a provided shotgun/pencil mic setup - no personal amps allowed; exception applies only to bass guitar.
  • A 'Jam Facilitator' volunteer (pls step fwd. if you want to be next!) will handle the flow of the jam floor at each jam session - your full attention and cooperation with all eyes and ears on that person is greatly appreciated!
  • The sound-board/mixer is actively managed by a volunteer (pls feel free to learn and help!) throughout the entire jam session. Your cooperation and communication are a must with this person as well to best maximize your voice and or instrument quality when it is your turn to 'take a (song) ride' in the jam rotation.

  • End Note compliments Mr. Rock n Roll, Tim E - "Have your song picked out before it's your turn to play, intro the song (key and progression hints) and begin. If you want to do it alone because the structure is more complicated, just say so and do it that way. If you want others to play, keep to songs with simple structure, especially for players who want to play a lead in their own song. Unless the group has got a handle on the structure, the leader can't drop out to solo or the song falls apart."
Recommended early sound system set-up time is 5:30PM for those who can arrive early to lend a helping hand. Otherwise. come as you can, find a spot and pls don't disrupt the jam that will hopefully be in progress by 6:30PM. Thanks!
