Hey Village Musicians!!

I would like to know if anyone out there would like to get together and jam some. I am a 58 year old guitar playing, rock & roll singing Snowbird that wants to casually hook up with some folks to kick around some acoustic/electric tunes. All instruments welcomed

I do everything from James Taylor, Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens to Van Morrison, Pink Floyd, Skynyrd and the Stones. Even dabble in some Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson and George Strait.

I am a self-taught musician and have been pickin' and singin' since I was 10. I am involved in several music projects up North and perform regularly through the "non-winter" months but these gig free winters are killing me... so I need to play.....somewhere...somehow!

I have sat in with the organized guitar clubs here at the Villages but they're not really what I am looking for. I just want to sit around with a handfull of folks and play some music.

So...if this might be something you would be interested in doing, give me a shout and maybe we can figure out how to put something together.

Cheers,
Glenn

To Stratcat:
I saw your message and am interested. I played drums for about 18 years, laid off for about 20 years, and now have electronic drums for a couple years and been working on the chops. I played rock and went on to light jazz, but since I picked up the drums, I haven't played with a group. Would you plan on jamming at a home or in a rec center room. Since it's been a while for me, the more private, the better. Let me know what you think.

Glenn, I'll be more than happy to play with you and I'll also bring a bass player and a pa.. oh I play keys. Here's the problem though. I still work! yuck! If you get a rec room on the weekend Try Big cypress, Captiva or Bradenton for the small room after 2 pm it should be available. Listen this will be fun. If you do this open it up to everyone.. but ask them to bring a few chord charts for what they want to play. This makes it easier for everyone who is there. It will be a great place for new musicians to the Villages to meet others. Anytime on the weekend I'll be there and Yes I am a villages resident.

Dan, I had responded to Glenn yesterday but received no reply back. I let him know that I played drums and was interested in jams. If you work and need to do this in the evening, I am sure that could be worked out. BTW, what instrument do you play? One more thing...I am not sure I am even doing this TOTV thing right. Let me know. Rich Arena

Sanibel.....I am checking to see if my messages are getting through. Let me know, and let's see if we all can do a little jamming. Rich Arena

Looks like a couple positive replies to Stratcats question, 'who wants to play some music. Let's put it together.

To Glenn, Dan et al:
I would be up for jamming depending on time and place. I play lead and rhythm guitar / mostly classic rock.

Let me know when and where.

Guys, If someone can get a rec room for a sunday or monday afternoon after 3 I'll be more than willing to play. Let me know .. Dan

[rkarena]

I can check around here, which is north of 466, but I will go to any rec center that is available. One problem with my schedule....I have visitors until next Thursday. If Dan's best days are Sunday / Monday, can we do it after this weekend? It may take a few days to round up a rec center anyway.

Show up at The Beatlemaniacs of The Villages meeting tomorrow morning at 10:00 at the O'Dell Rec Center and you'll meet plenty of musicians looking to play.

Would you be interested in accompanying someone at a memorial service? It would be tuesday or weds of this week and you would have 10 minutes to rehearse with me and then preform for the family and friends. I want to sing my grandfathers favorite song- Halley Came to Jackson by Mary Chapin Carpenter

I'm all for it. Looking for the same thing. Guitar player. ReverseRevolution180@gmail.com
