Slow Jam Fizz. The slow jam continues on the 2nd and 4th Fridays from 5:30-6:30 pm west coast time. Sponsored by the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention each jam will have different amazing leaders. All tunes will be led by the leaders, so it won’t be a round robin like some jams you might be used to. The definition of “slow” will be left to the discretion of the leaders. Sometimes it might be too fast for you, sometimes too slow. If it’s too fast, try it anyway! It’ll be a challenge, and what have you got to lose? Here are some unique advantages of an online jam: Nobody can hear you if you screw up! You can’t hear others if they screw up! You can hear the details of the leaders’ playing. You can enjoy jam leaders from all over rather than from only your home community. Be prepared not to be bored! It will be free, but tips to the leaders are encouraged. Hope you’ll join us. You can also see recordings of past slow jams at the website above. Today's hosts are Sami Braman (The Onlies) and Emily Mann. Slow Jam Fizz will take a break after May 27 for the summer months of June, July, and August. We'll be back on September 9. To join, get the zoom link by sending an email to slowjamfizz.@stickerville.org. Feel free to share this with your friends and students.
