That link is for all the audio. There are 20 some odd tracks, so I will break them down a bit for you.
First, they are in chronological order of the day.
Each track has the individuals participating... or thought to have participated, listed in the first comment of each track.
For those that like cover songs, the following tracks are rough attempts:
2, 5, 17, 18, 19, (1, 2, 3 These are at the bottom of the page) Some Beatles, Neil Young, CCC I think... all rough versions.
Quality Improv Jams:
6(Santanaish), 7(Poppy), 8(Heavier), 9(Jazz Loungish), 10(Acid Jazzish?), 11(Jazz Jam), 13(Heavier), 15 (Smoothish Jazz), 4(The very last track) umm funky jazz jam>?
Of these Jams, I recommend the following , as they are my favs:
Track 3, heavy, but the guitar work at about 28 seconds in. I love Johns Loop effect to keep his rhythm going while he solos over the top. Not two guitars, both are John!!(John being my musical mentor and the only person to share my first live performance with when we were roommates in Co.
Track 8 at about the 3 minute mark. Gets really smooth with the keys and guitar work walking down for a good 30-45 seconds
Track 11, 2:45 mark on.
Track 13... fuck my guitar, its all about that damned bass!!!
Track 15.. again.. that bass! from about 3 minutes on Bryan is phenomenal... him and I were in Hookmeisters together many years ago. (

Track 17...Elanor Rigby
Then as the night wound down and the sun set, we found ourselves out by the pool with the acoustics and a friend whipped out their camera phone ( Turned the lightbulb on that when I run a conduit and electric out to the backside of the pool, I need to run a couple of mic lines to plug mics in when out by the pool.
Little out of tune, and the lighting sucks, and the beers had more than kicked in by then, lol..
We had some superb bass players in the house, but were lacking a bit in the drums and vocals. My throat was trashed form an extended rehearsal the night before and the only true drummer was Swil's drummer who could only stay a couple hours. I did what I could to fill in on drums, but I am not a drummer. With that said, I think I held my own and kept it going for everyone.
This was a big success and so next year we will be trying to have a couple. At least one once the pool is opened back up and then another in the fall. Depending on life's schedule, we might try for one or two more in the middle of the summer.
On the side. You know what I think would be awesome? Is if the musicians of this board got together and we hash out the new Blazers theme. Id be happy to supply my studio and time working with people on this if there are enough people who would like to attempt this.
Hopefully a few of you get a little jealous at the vids and tracks and feel more compelled to join in next time. We would love to have ya!
