Riverside Jam 2005 Mystery Man

Thanks David and Annie!

If someone would contact Tony and confirm what really happened, that would be great, otherwise I'll just post Annie's list for now.

It probably won't get posted until mid-Sept. I'm still looking for more pix, although I have about 300 so far.

Well, I know the set list was not played in the original order because I heard "Tore Down" flowing from the speakers outside the gig and knew that I was scheduled to be playing guitar on that song very late in the set (ahhhhh!). The last song was "Sunshine of Your Love" while "Rio" was first.

Dan, I'm sure many of us are anxious to see the pics you've been gathering. Very nice of you to take over that duty. :D

Stepping Stone made the actual set. I remember that. Goodbye Girl didn't and neither did Don't Worry Baby. And I'm almost certain that Keep Your Hands To Yourself got lost in the post-Ashley reallignment. Crosscut Saw might have happened - I seem to remember a couple of blues numbers but I've heard Tony do that many, many times so I might be confusing things (it's kind of like asking if Moondance or I'm A Believer was in your set... :wink: )

I'm pretty sure that's everything. But, of course, you could eliminate the middle man and email him yourself - his @ddress on the general RSJ mailing list.

Peace

Pretty sure Crosscut Saw was dumped. I was supposed to play that plus Tore Down, but am positive I played only Tore Down.

now, i may be flighty, but i do know that we played goodbye-girl because i was on bass for only 2 songs and that was one of them....

Absolutely right on that - totally my brain conking out here.

Peace

Well, I just got back and I never should of left, yeah (where'd ya go?)

From RSJ 2005 I went on a business trip for a week in California. Let me sayit was very strange to be wearing shorts and tees on Sunday on a riverboat while jamming away and then getting up the next morning only to wear a suit and tie ;-(. I long for the bad old days.

Soon as I got back from California, I got a message on my cell telling me to come to the hospital cause my 9 yr old, Eric, broke his arm in two places at camp and required surgery, so I've been focused on family the last two weeks and haven't had a chance to write.

I really enjoyed playing with all of you and appreciate all of the talent that comes together in one place. Couple of special thank yous:

1. Thanks, Greg, for providing instrument transportation, supplying the guitar riffs du jour.
2. Thanks Dennis, for your somewhat involuntary use of your guitar when a string broke. I honestly thought it was Greg's and apologize if any bad mojo rubbed off on it.
3. Thanks, Anne for getting this organized and getting MaryEllen involved. As far as the teacher voice is concerned, maybe next year you should try the original SNL teacher voice..."class, Class, CLASS, SHUT UP!"
4. THANKS, MaryEllen!

After reading all of the posts and e-mails, I add these thoughts:
Every year that I've played with you folks, I come away learning something new, trying something new, and with a revitalized spirit and desire to play.

Ditto Greg's remarks about Anne. She is, bar none, the steadiest, most solid drummer I've ever played with. She is the Human Metronome. We have the makings of a "super hero" band. Mr. Ultimate in Funky, The Human Metronome, and Jimmy Mutron. Any other suggestions?

I can take a turn on drums for next year's jam to spell you, too, Anne.

David and Karen, I have the utmost respect for the risks you have taken to make music a living. Your constantly expanding collection of instruments and the ability to play them is astounding.

Kathy, keep on rocking. Would love to play a set with you and John in a future jam. Your twists on the songs in your sets are tasty, creative, innovative and wonderfully executed.

To all, thanks for a great time and a re-energizing experience.

Jeff

I can't say enough about Greg's playing. His touch and tone and layering adds the correct emotion to anything he plays. It's an honor to play with you Greg.

Jeff,
I hope your 9-yr old is doing well. Ouch! That's a terrible way to end the summer!

probably far off, but i say smokindog

and if im wrong, please forgive me smokindog :lol:

I'm totally flattered :lol: :lol: Sounds like a great time. Maybe I'll work on geting a "Southern Jam" going down in South Carolina :idea: cnev and I are getting together about once a week and working on some tunes with the Idea of doing some open mic type things, maybe we could expand on that idea a bit :?: Thanks for posting the evidence,...err....i mean pics :P
The community T.V. thing with the celt would be a cool thing for Minneapolis next year :D --the dog
