Since we're a cross-cultural group here, there may be some folks who don't know about blues jams... When you go to a blues jam, you sign up with the host and then they put you on stage with other folks you may never have played with before... and you play a set with that pick-up band. It can be very exciting (in both a good and bad way, lol).

The one I've been going to is at the same venue where I also host an open mic. Very nice little place, and, at the blues jam, we actually get people who come just to dance to the music. That's very cool.

The guitar looks great, Doc. I love seeing your new builds.

Sounds like fun, Doc. It's something I miss; we used to all hang at an open-mic club and then adjourn to someone's place for more picking and grinning after hours.
Since the place closed and all have gotten older.... Not so much anymore. Love to find a few folks to jam with occasionally.

Glad you asked... Just recorded some (attached). This is a line-in from the EM pickup with no effects.
