Guys, I thought you'd like to know we are organizing a "Blue Christmas" party/concert at Conspiracy for Dec 15.
* Jook Joint Jam [/color] [/b] (w/ Kakoi, Reuben, and me... Formerly known as D3, kaso di naman kami laging 3 dobros... more like an old-style jug band + all sorts of jammers on various instruments and vocal)
Some ideas to make this "xmas party for blue people fun" (haha--- oxymoron!):
- I'm thinking of asking the bands to do at least one bluesy xmas song each. Up to them what they want to sing/play basta blues-influenced. I think Gerry (Blueskrieg cd producer) will sponsor a prize for the best xmas song performance!
- Band members and audience will be enjoined to come (and play) in their xmas attire or costumes (I wanna see BB in a Santa Claus costume while riffing on a cherry red 335!)
- Organize an "exchange gift" (ie, cd) for those willing to participate (band member or audience/guest). Each participant brings a blues cd he/she thinks other people might enjoy. Tapos exchange gift tayo at one point in the program. Pwede ring 'pass it forward' style so you can sort of pick what you like and to avoid getting a cd you already have in your collection.
- at siyempre, open jam!
C'mon blues brothers, let's pitch in to make this a fun Blue Christmas. Thanksgiving na rin natin for the wonderful year of blues that 2006 has been and panalangin na rin for an even bluer 2007 (eg, Blueskrieg cd
)!!!
PS - Thanks to vjoe for the poster/flyer!
