This morning I got a link to a musical Jam I was a part of over 10 years ago in 1997.
This was an impromptu get together of a few friends in an attic room in Rugby town UK. Everything was ad-libbed with only a bottle of wine for lyrical inspiration.
The musical attendees were…
Nathan Thomas on bass, Ed Hipkins on drums Georgi Griffiths on guitar, myself on Harmonica, didgeridoo and vocals and some guest keyboard from Jon Bains.
The songs made it no further than a green minidisc labeled with the track list:
Dr Jam ~ Jazzbreak ~ Mad Song ~ Georgi’s Son ~ Stoned In The Park ~ Suite Of The Day ~ Stan Jam
I lost my copy shortly after so this morning when i received this link: http://gboyjam.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html from Georgi I was transported right back ten years to that fateful day where we broke the rules and with no holds barred played what came naturally.
I am so glad the tunes live on and now they have been uploaded within easy reach of the world they have been reborn bigger than ever.
I would never have anticipated back then.. sat on my friends carpet, in a spare room decorated with kid’s wall paper that the songs would even have survived the recording process let alone now being disseminated to the world.
If you like any, please feel free to download and pass around.. Just credit the legendary P-Funk and the Funky Monkey’s.
