We've reserved a spacious, high-ceiling hall with a STAGE . Plenty of room for the music to project, and for showing off gear, other performances, and socializing.

A PA has been arranged, but events like these can always use mic's and mic stands, so please bring 'em if you got 'em.

We can use a few sheet music stands too.

Eats and soft drinks will be pot luck. Cups, paper plates and utensils will be provided. There will also be a full no-host bar.

Califiddler · April 7th, 2006, 01:07 PM

Just checking in. I posted about a week or so ago about a possible East Bay jam. Mik contacted me and we got together to throw this thing together.

We're hoping to get 40 people or so to this thing, the more the merrier. Mik worked out a great deal with the Eagles in Livermore, so that the hall, including a bartender, is costing us about $425. (That's a great deal in the Bay Area. :-() ) Hence the contributions to pay for the hall. Mik and I dont't want to get stuck for the cost, but we're not trying to make money, either. In the unlikely event that we take in more money than we need, we'll probably contribute the extra to the tdpri.

It should be a great time - stage with a PA, a rhythm section, cash bar with a bartender, etc. We figure if everyone brings his own soft drinks and a pot luck dish to share we'll be in good shape. We're probably up for getting some folks to go out for Mexican food after the jam, as well.

The reasons that we're asking folks to RSVP is so that, first, we don't get 40 people each bringing 3-bean salad. Second, we'd like to know what equipment folks are bringing because, in addition to the on-stage jams, we'd like to set up some halfway organized demos, so that folks can try their Teles (or whatever) through different amps, effects, etc. So for example we may do something where, from 2:00 -3:00 we're getting all the Deluxe Reverbs in one spot and letting folks compare tweed vs. BF vs. SF vs. RI, etc. From 3:00 - 4:00 delay pedals, you get the idea. Third, it would be nice to know what kind of music folks want to play so the country folks can jam together, the classic rock folks, etc.

Let's get those replies coming! Teles in the East Bay!!

guitar_ed · April 7th, 2006, 01:15 PM

YeeHah! I hope to be there.

My info is:

Guitar Ed (aka Ed)
3 home brewed Teles, maybe a G&L ASAT or two
A 25 watt Rivera and a Fender Blues Jr
Some kind of desert?

Talk to you all later.

5. Your pot luck contribution (main dish, side dish, appetizer or dessert)

Brick · April 7th, 2006, 10:35 PM

Do you actually have to be able to play the darned teles or is just having a few good enough?

Brick · April 7th, 2006, 10:35 PM

Do you actually have to be able to play the darned teles or is just having a few good enough?

scudgebucket · April 7th, 2006, 10:54 PM

Great idea, count me in...

1. Name: Mike H. aka scudgebucket
2. Guitars: I'm thinking a modified 2002 Am natural ash tele
and an '04 clear ash CS '72 custom reissue.
3. Amps: Subject to change, '66 Super Reverb and '62
Princeton
4. Other instruments: tambourine, blues harps (assorted keys)
5. Pot Luck: Marie Calendar's blueberry pie(s)

8) cool...

getbent · April 7th, 2006, 11:04 PM

it will be fun... bring your teles and we can all gawk at the tele goodness... if you wanna play, play, if not, not... no thing all for fun!

Califiddler · April 8th, 2006, 01:04 AM

Brick - bring your Teles - if you feel like playing, play; if you don't, listen, socialize, whatever - it's all good, bro!

I already want to try everyone else's gear so much I thought I'd throw out what I'll probably bring:

PA
mics (57s and 58s) and mic stands
1987 Martin HD28
1922 Gibson A4 mandolin
1978 Tele
Fiddle (who the hell knows what year, make or model - it's a fiddle!)
Peavey Classic 30
Mid-70s Fender Champ
probably a lasagna or eggplant parmigiana

The Bone · April 8th, 2006, 01:41 AM

Are wives and kids invited?

petebradt · April 8th, 2006, 12:56 PM

I have a couple concerns about kids:

Won't there be a bar? I'd think it'd make it 21+

My other concern about kids is - uncontrolled, they can get into places they shouldn't be. Falling guitars and amps can injure kids more easily than adults. If kids are controlled, I have no problem but if they're allowed to run loose, I'd have a problem with that.

Sparky6string · April 8th, 2006, 07:50 PM

Sounds like fun.

1) Kevin "Sparky" B
2) Fernandes TE-1N
3) Skip Simmons Newcomb
4) Won't I get run out of the place for bringing my LP?

5) The little lady will come up with something.

moondoggie999 · April 9th, 2006, 12:29 AM

I have to teach that day from 2-6 but I am pretty sure I can show up for the first part! Count me in.

Brett Gregory

Ash Tele with Kinman Broadcasters and a Tweed Pro Junior.

But maybe I should bring my bass instead?

Any food items needed, just lemme know. I make a great beer dip. Thats an appetizer, not a personality observation.

I get done teaching at 6pm so if you all are headed over to Anita's Burritos on Railroad ave, I'll meet ya there (or where ever)

sounds fun!

Califiddler · April 9th, 2006, 01:25 AM

No spouses or kids. The whole point of this thing is for some Tele players to meet each other, check out each other's gear and play some music. If we have spouses and kids it's a whole other vibe. Plus then we'd have issues with the bar, kids being around valuable equipment, whether and how to charge for spouses and kids, etc. We'll just keep it to the players this time.

vincentspades · April 9th, 2006, 04:04 AM

alright one in sf bay area, last one i went to was LA count me in.

The Bone · April 9th, 2006, 01:52 PM

Thanks for answering the spouses and kids question. New to this Telejam thing and just didn't know if it was a family deal or not. Thanks.

Fuzzy,

Thanks, that was a great day at your home and the Tele Shack, great memories...

I found one of those rascals, and he's coming to the jam: Eric!

I'm hunting down the other suspects. I'll PM you.

How about you? It's a short drive down here and you'll have a whole lotta fun!

Mik

Cobrav · April 11th, 2006, 04:56 PM

I'd like to meet some other players. Name: Chuck Foster, I'll bring a '52RI and an amp. As I live quite a distance away I'll probably stop in Livermore and pick up a bucket of chicken.

Gear that would help out, I'll edit my lead post too, is sheet music stands. We could use a few.

Mik

guitar_ed · April 12th, 2006, 04:56 PM

If I remember, I can bring a music stand. How about a guitar stand or 10? I can bring one of those.

Guitar Ed

Booman · April 13th, 2006, 12:48 PM

See you there!!

Mik

Ronetele · April 14th, 2006, 01:31 PM

Cherie plays a tele too (black deluxe HH thru a deluxe amp) so i assume that clears her for attendance.

1. Ron Wolf
2. MIM 50s Tele White, mongrel late 60s LP (yes THAT one)
3. Mesa Studio - might bring my Blues Jr too for old times sake
4. Could bring one of our basses but only have a small bass amp, will bring a harp or two also
5. Jello

Well, I'm only half joking about the jello. Hmmm, how about nachos - get those strings niceNgreasy!

Sparky6string · April 14th, 2006, 03:31 PM

The Hiwatt, Marshall and Boogie boys haven't checked in yet

Two 6V6's is plenty, bring wot u got. We have a PA.

Mik

Califiddler · April 18th, 2006, 05:17 PM

Lotis - man, that is one serious list of equipment, especially the amps!

How does the minidisc work - do you use an "audience" mic, or take a line out from the mixer (which wouldn't catch amps not going through the board), or what? Can you burn CD's from the minidisc so that we can distribute copies to everyone who's there?

Lotis · April 18th, 2006, 07:59 PM

With the minidisc I just plug in a Sony stereo mike. It records real good if I get good mike placement. I got a '64 Princeton Reverb I might bring too if I feel real ambitious. Looking forward to putting some faces and pickin' with the names. Lotis

ChrisC · April 19th, 2006, 02:04 AM

1) ChrisC
2) Guitar: Stock 52 reissue
3) Amp: 67 BF Deluxe Reverb
4) Other: lame solos
5) Food: open to suggestions

Pete I would love to steal a few licks on your baritone and BobM please bring that sweet 335

Thanks to Mik and Ron for putting this together. It will be great to see the guys again and I hope everbody is doing well.

Chris

Ronetele · May 2nd, 2006, 04:56 PM

i'm hoping that i can try a few licks thru the 66 bassman. i used to have one and it sounded so very fine. and then i'd like to take a few minutes with one of the Hamel equipped Teles. i've been able to kick my GAS habit, but with this jam coming up i can feel the stirring in my gut...

and of course my stuff is open for messing with too. tho probably the only thing that i have that's of any interest to this group is my Mesa-Boogie Studio Caliber amp.

and, hmmm, if people are open to an acoustic jam out back or something, i'll bring my Martin too.

this is going to be sooo kewl!!!!

Califiddler · May 2nd, 2006, 08:24 PM

Ronetele -

Definitely bring your Martin. I'm going to bring my Martin, mandolin and fiddle, and others are bringing acoustics, so I think that an acoustic jam would definitely be a possiblity.

Could be time for a 45-minute jam on "Sally Goodin'"!

I already want to try everyone else's gear so much I thought I'd throw out what I'll probably bring: PA mics (57s and 58s) and mic stands 1987 Martin HD28 1922 Gibson A4 mandolin 1978 Tele Fiddle (who the hell knows what year, make or model - it's a fiddle!)

petebradt Friend of Leo's Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Niner Country Posts: 4,255 12 Photos	I have a couple concerns about kids: Won't there be a bar? I'd think it'd make it 21+ My other concern about kids is - uncontrolled, they can get into places they shouldn't be. Falling guitars and amps can injure kids more easily than adults. If kids are controlled, I have no problem but if they're allowed to run loose, I'd have a problem with that.

Count me in. Brett Gregory Ash Tele with Kinman Broadcasters and a Tweed Pro Junior. But maybe I should bring my bass instead? Any food items needed, just lemme know. I make a great beer dip. Thats an appetizer, not a personality observation. I get done teaching at 6pm so if you all are headed over to Anita's Burritos on Railroad ave, I'll meet ya there (or where ever) sounds fun! __________________ You start off playing guitar to get chicks and end up talking with middle-aged men about your fingernails - Ed Gerhard

The whole point of this thing is for some Tele players to meet each other, check out each other's gear and play some music. If we have spouses and kids it's a whole other vibe. Plus then we'd have issues with the bar, kids being around valuable equipment, whether and how to charge for spouses and kids, etc. We'll just keep it to the players this time. __________________ "In the fiddler's house, all are dancers."

Could bring one of our basses but only have a small bass amp, will bring a harp or two also 5. Jello Well, I'm only half joking about the jello.

Califiddler Tele-Afflicted Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: California Posts: 1,286	Lotis - man, that is one serious list of equipment, especially the amps! How does the minidisc work - do you use an "audience" mic, or take a line out from the mixer (which wouldn't catch amps not going through the board), or what? Can you burn CD's from the minidisc so that we can distribute copies to everyone who's there? __________________ "In the fiddler's house, all are dancers."

Lotis TDPRI Member Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 30	Bay Area Tele Jam With the minidisc I just plug in a Sony stereo mike. It records real good if I get good mike placement. I got a '64 Princeton Reverb I might bring too if I feel real ambitious. Looking forward to putting some faces and pickin' with the names. Lotis

Ronetele TDPRI Member Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Palo Alto & Pacifica, CA Posts: 79	hoping that can i play with your toys??? i'm hoping that i can try a few licks thru the 66 bassman. i used to have one and it sounded so very fine. and then i'd like to take a few minutes with one of the Hamel equipped Teles. i've been able to kick my GAS habit, but with this jam coming up i can feel the stirring in my gut... and of course my stuff is open for messing with too. tho probably the only thing that i have that's of any interest to this group is my Mesa-Boogie Studio Caliber amp. and, hmmm, if people are open to an acoustic jam out back or something, i'll bring my Martin too. this is going to be sooo kewl!!!! __________________ Fender MIM 50s White w/black guard Fender '64 Duosonic Red w/buckers Fender Blues Jr. Mesa-Boogie Studio Caliber Gibson Les Paul mutt, late 60s National Reso-lectric, 50s?

Califiddler Tele-Afflicted Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: California Posts: 1,286	Ronetele - Definitely bring your Martin. I'm going to bring my Martin, mandolin and fiddle, and others are bringing acoustics, so I think that an acoustic jam would definitely be a possiblity. Could be time for a 45-minute jam on "Sally Goodin'"! __________________ "In the fiddler's house, all are dancers."
