Anyway, Ian, you do good work. Keep it up. Any new musical recommendations? I just found two from South America: Chico Trujillo and Marcelo Vergara. Find 'em on My Space if nowhere else.

I kinda miss soulpatches. Kinda.

maybe you can find enough details to track the place down. Sounds like a modern musical Speak Easy.

At 3:25pm on October 30, 2008, PhilG said…: Heard a NPR story (on Weekend America) about an interesting musical gathering in your part of the world, in Minn MN. It's called "the jam" and folks meet weekly for musical at an unlabeled studio "in the basement of an old Polish Catholic school." It started 21 years ago and the #1 rule is no more than two guitarists at a time. Have you heard of it? Ever checked it out?
