It pleases us (and should please you, too) that the multi-talented Kenny Ashby will be hosting our Saturday afternoon Open Jams, starting this very week. Drummer, singer, consumate showman and great guy, Kenny is a awesome addition to our program.
In other news, we'll be adding several layers of soundproofing to Studio 3 this weekend, in order to further isolate it from Studio 2. You may recall Studio 3's humble origins, when it was simply an extra room for daytime vocal lessons. It's come a long way.

I don't ever want to play the role of schoolteacher (perhaps Headmaster, occasionally), but lately I've been
confronting errant jammers drinking in the studios, smokin' in the boys room,
and talking to me as if I'm their bee-yatch. Let me make this perfectly
clear: Those who can't treat the Jam and everyone in it respectfully can find somewhere else to play. It's unfair to me and Eric (we have much
better things to be doing with our time) - as well the vast majority of
members and visitors who appreciate the Jam and have no problem keeping
it clean, pleasant, and full of good vibes. Class dismissed.

 The Guitar Of The Week returns: Strokes lead guitarist Nick Valensi used to call his
customized '60s Epiphone Riviera "the greatest instrument never made,"
but now it's in production. Part of the prestigious Elitist line of
vintage-inspired Epiphones, the Nick Valensi Riviera features genuine Gibson P-94 pickups that put the hot, thick, punchy sound of a P-90 in a
humbucker-size housing. Just like a '60s Riviera, the
Valensi model feaures a 5-ply maple top, back, and sides; a
one-piece set mahogany neck, nickel hardware, a bone nut, and trapeze tailpiece. Jam members are welcome to take her for a spin, now through September 27. |
