A Cultural Gem of the Rockies: Celebrating 30 Years of the Best Roots Music

Jam

Hoping to find players to get together to jam with, been nowhere near as easy as I had hoped around SwH. Informal/non-pro guitar player interested in playing and learning songs, love all stringed instruments. Tech Center/Highlands Ranch area, but don't hold it against me. Thanks......Tom.

what types of music are you most intersted in? I too would like to do some jamming but I don't really do the folk thing- more interested in classic rock and some newer artists. Can/do people just hang out at Swallow and jam?; ▶ Reply to This

Chris: thanks, I'm aware of the schedules, also explored the "unused music room" route, didn't seem too well-received. Jim: thanks for your note. Not really into Folk all that much either. More like Dylan, CSNY, Newgrass, Storyhill. And you repeated my question - - I see little if any spontaneous, laid-back, informal jamming at SH (which is what I think should be its focus), but maybe I just don't know where to look. Hope you guys are doing great.....Tom.; ▶ Reply to This

This would be a great help to us beginners and it will help in our playing if we could play with others. I am not sure if I would attend a jam with experienceed players, as I would probably make to many mistakes and be to slow on the uptake of some of the songs. But I think it would be nice to jam with someone, and to get use to playing with others.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Tom on December 8, 2008 at 4:19pm: Tim....Sounds good. Maybe we should think about a beer sometime to talk about playing (isn't there a sports bar at Dry Creek/University). Thanks....Tom.

Permalink Reply by Tom on November 30, 2009 at 8:56am: Hey Kraig....I'm in the Highlands Ranch/Southpark area. Work in the Tech Center. I'd love to find people to get together with, play acoustic, learn some songs. Not a professional either, by any means. Feel free to use my email address (thfesq@aol.com), maybe we can arrange to get together and play. Thanks....Tom.
