What a great idea do it guys join in, don't tear the place up

 

No jam session this year but the word was spread and several guys said they would bring their instruments next year. Let's work out a set list of 50's songs, practice our chops and next year we'll Rock this Town!:sign0020:

 

Sorry to hear it didn't work out, always next year :tu

 

If you give me a list of tunes in advance I can brush up. I could play any of the three instruments you brought. I'm fairly sure I'm going' next year.

 

jam session

Hi All,count me in just a snare and a pair of sticks will be fine,cheers Rob.

 

Now we are talking, looks like we have a Trifive.com band!

My thoughts were all acoustic rockabilly and 50's songs.
For example,
MatchBox by Carl Perkins
Mystery Train by Elvis
That'll be the Day by Buddy Holly
16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford
I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash ( Heck anything early in Johnny's career with the Tennessee Two)

I was thinking a "down on the corner, out in the street" kind of thing. Just meet in the parking lot with the cars after dark or maybe in the lobby of a hotel ( with their permission )
That should get the ball rolling, Im open to suggestions

Maybe even some doo-***.

 

band

Lets hear it for the "tri-fivers",done all those tunes in the past so it will be a blast,cheers Rob.:blowtiedb::congrats:

 

Elvis jumpsuit optional?

 

Well, let's keep it in the 50s. The gold jacket would work.

 

John, You're gonna make me get my fingertips sore. I've got three guitars with dust on them. A Fender Strat, flatop and twelve string. I played in two R&R bands when I was a kid. These days I'll get the urge to play, get frustrated because I can't play like I did when I played hours a day and quit for awhile, then repeat.:sign0020: Blake

 

I knew there were a lot of guitar players here on Trifive, didn't know you were one of though.

50's cars and 50's music just go hand in hand. We might need to have an "open guitar" night at the next car show.

New Toy ! Now I need to learn how to play it. ( my finger tips hurt just looking at it . )

Alright all you musicians out there, lets see if we can get an impromptu jam session together for next years Nationals. Post here or PM me with what instruments you can play and what songs you would want on a set list. I'm open to anything from the 50`s, country, rock, DooWoop, Blues you name it. I'm thinking an all acoustic down on the corner out in the street style jam. Lets rock this town!

.

 

Just about anything from Sun Records would be great. That would make it an even more tempting reason to make the 5,000 mile round trip.

 

Like to see a video of that . Great idea, MIke.

 

Great idea! This could be a drawing card for those who are sitting on the fence.

Don

 

Sun Records! Now you are talking. Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash. All my favorites.

Thad

 

seriously, no bluegrass? In Kentucky no less? Whats wrong with this picture? But I'll bring something anyway.

 

I knew you were ok Dwight, but this settles it. I am a bluegrass man. Played bass and rhythm guitar with a band - Outcast Bluegrass for many years.hey, I am about to become more motivated to come to the Nats.

 

Please add Honey Don't and Blue Suade Shoes (Carl Perkins) and Jailhouse Rock (Elvis) to the set list.

 

Amateur Hour !
Ok guys here it is, I just recently purchased an upright bass and have been trying to learn how to play the thing. Here is a video of me singing HeartBreak Hotel and playing the bass line. My apologies to Elvis.

the link should work now.(computers, you got to lovem)

I'm hoping to encourage all the musicians here on trifive to bring their instruments and talents to the Nationals for a jam session in the parking lot.
After listening to this video, if you think you can play better than me then I challenge you to a friendly "Cutting of the Heads"! Lets rock this town!


Post on this thread the instruments and songs you can play and lets see if we can get a TriFive Band together at the Nationals.

Im thinking all acoustic 50's songs. Rockabilly, Country, DooWap, BlueGrass, you name it!

 

I can't get your YouTube video to work?:hmmmm:

 

It is shared now. I can see it on my laptop and phone even when I'm not logged into youtube or trifive.

 

Hey, you're a fast learner! Sounds GREAT!

 

See next post.

 

Ok, let's see if this works.

Excellent! We now have a two man band!
Alright, all you musicians out there, don't be the last one to jump on the bandwagon.

How about a little Buddy Holly.....

We will need some "Crickets" and "Jordanairs" too.

How about some Johnny Trash...
