We never did succeed in finding a drummer, despite all of the drummers that we have on the listserve. We talked about keeping an electronic set of drums there at the center, for drummers to use without having to schlep and set up their gear, if that would be an inducement. Would it? So, no drummer, but once again Ricky Ricardo stopped in to play congas for us, and he brought along his lovely wife, Lucy. We had seven participants, and we played some new songs. The players were:  Joe Celentano: guitar & vocals  Jordan Dollak: guitar, bass, & vocals  Randy Fredner: guitar & vocals   Phil Springer: guitar    Gerry Therrien: keys & vocals Tom Vandever: guitar Aaron Feldman: vocals & percussion  The songs that we played were:1. Something: The Beatles 2. Gimme Some Money: Spinal Tap 3. Good Loving: Rascals, in tribute to the late Dino Danelli 4. Anymore: Travis Tritt 5. What Is And What Should Never Be : Led Zeppelin 6. Kansas City: Wilbur Harrison 7. Wonderful Tonight: Eric Clapton 8. Tell Me: The Rolling Stones 9. Sympathy for the Devil: The Rolling Stones 10. Start Me Up: The Rolling Stones 11. Miss You: The Rolling Stones NEW: 12. Seven Nation Army: The White Stripes 13. Born To Be Wild: Steppenwolf14. Ramble On: Led Zeppelin 15. Little Queenie: The Rolling Stones, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out version NEW: 16. Get It On (Bang A Gong): T-Rex 17. Already Gone: The Eagles 18. 867-5309: Tommy Two-Tone NEW: 19. American Girl: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 20. Pride & Joy: Stevie Ray Vaughn 21. Little Sister: Elvis 22. Mary Jane's Last Dance: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 23. Simple Man: Lynrd Skynrd 24. Takin' Care of Business: Bachman, Turner Overdrive, for Robbie Bachman25. Knocking' On Heaven's Door: Bob Dylan 26. Mannish Boy: Muddy Waters  IF YOU'D LIKE TO SUGGEST A NEW SONG for us to do next month it's better to get your requests in sooner rather than later in order to give folks enough time to learn them before the next jam. We'll add it to our expanding song list. If you have sheet music or chord sheets I'll put them out in attachments so folks can make copies. It's also helpful if you print out extra chord sheets to distribute. IF YOU'RE COMING TO THE NEXT JAM pick a new song that you'd like for us to play and a couple from our Repertoire List and send your requests to me for inclusion on the requests list. WHEN AND WHERE: We get together from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Independence Resource Center, 815 Cherry Avenue in Charlottesville, a little east of ninth Street on the north side of the street.
