Flaneur Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Two weeks to go! Time to finish the neck re-set on your '59 ES330, or do the caps on the blackface Deluxe Reverb- the one, without which, your tone is forever in disguise. Alternatively, you could just plug your Squier Strat into one of my selection of non-vintage, but loud combos....and give the regulars a few songs. Extra points for obscurity and singing in tune. Deductions, if your pedal board is bigger than a tweed guitar case! 13th at 3pm. Daviot has only one bar- you can't miss it! Be there- or be rectangular.

Trikelops Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Already got my gear looked out and raring to go for this Sunday. Full backline all ready for you, bring your instrument and/or songs along and have a great time jamming. Last one was a belter, let's make this one even better. It's got to be a good omen, Flaneur found his capo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Next jam is on Sunday the 29th of January, starting at 3.......... I have a Mojo Hand, thanks..... but if you have any surplus John the Conqueror Root you don't want- I'm in the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trikelops Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ahh, but is your Mojo actually working? I'm looking for a Gypsy woman to give me some advice at the moment. Looking forward to Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So terrifyingly bad, that Cliff's effort made it to number 55............ Hardly anything that counts as 'Rock'.........and no Blues!

Flaneur Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Next Jam is on March 26th, starting at 3. On February 4th, 1932, Tampa Red recorded 'You can't get that stuff no more'. Wonderful song though that is, I have to tell you that - 85 years later- you still can get that stuff......and you will, if you come to the jam.

Trikelops Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) This Sunday, 26th, come along and have a jam. Starts 3 pm. Well I have had my fun.... Edited March 21, 2017 by Trikelops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaneur Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 http://www.kffa.com/2015/11/11/king-biscuit-time-show-audio/ The first lunchtime radio show for field workers in the American south, was broadcast on November 21st, 1941. Sonny Boy Williamson 2 and Robert Lockwood Junior were the hosts. Now it's the longest-running daily radio show in US history.......... Yesterday's show started with a Sonny Boy tune- 'Fattening frogs for snakes'- which is a favourite of Ab-Mus correspondent Trikelops. At the last count, he had performed this song in public on 3,481 occasions. It would be nice if the Smiddy Blues Jam became a 76 year fixture in the local music scene. The next edition begins at 3pm on May 28th. Come along and have some fun. You'll be able to tell your grandkids you were in at the start.

Trikelops Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 It will be 3,482 times on the 28th Flanuer. Sadly, I doubt if I'll still be around in 76 years time, think I'm lucky to have made it this far. Looking forward to the 28th for sure. Hoping for another great day and plenty of good music.

Trikelops Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Well yesterday was a blinder, best jam so far in my humble opinion. Some of the regulars were no-shows but despite that there was a lot of terrific music played and not a single ego was to be witnessed. Two other really good bass players turned up too, so at least I got a break this time. Looking forward to the next one already.

Flaneur Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 The next Smiddy Blues jam will be held on July 30th, at 2pm. Please note that this is an hour earlier than the previous start time. Every performer who shows up will play....and we need the extra hour, to fit you all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 The jam is on Sunday. The more of you show up to play, the less the audience have to listen to me. It's called a win-win....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Things I have learned from organising a musical event, volume 4........ 1. Good things are worth waiting for. You can stop looking at your watch, now...... 2. All those buttons, sliders and knobs on a mixing desk have functions, apparently. 3. Many of life's questions can be answered with a loud amp and a wah-wah pedal. 4. When you sing in a different key to the usual ones, strange and unpleasant things can happen.

Flaneur Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Nah, it's still every two months....but yes, you should come out. Now what I need is a driver. If could drink the Taylor's, whilst organising the running order, it would be a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Strange and wondrous sighting at the last Smiddy bi-monthly doofer...... AbMus favourite, Country stalwart and unrecognised offspring of Mary Ford and Chet Atkins- Bigsby, was spotted in a spanky rendition of some North Texas blues. The well-known Shadovian (new word) wiggle stick enthusiast would clearly be welcome in any roadhouse between Fort Worth and El Paso, on this showing. Is this the way to Amarillo? Err, no, actually. You needed to throw a right at Abilene and take Highway 83....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Next Smiddy jam is on September the 24th. You may have heard the rumour that Buddy Guy will be making a brief guest appearance. George and I have had a good chuckle about that (I call him George). There are just no secrets in the modern world. Although I don't know whether or not you are coming along, to get a selfie with George...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaneur Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) It's at the Smiddy bar, in Daviot, near Inverurie. The next one is on Sunday, November 26th and yes, if you come along, you will get a spot. Edited October 22, 2017 by Flaneur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
