Jam Night 07072009

Well here it is, last weeks Jam Night. That means I've caught up. What a relief. We kick this one off with a brand new addition to the Jam Night Jukebox. It's a little ditty by our buddy Donovan. We've done another one by Donovan a few times before but the name escapes me at the moment. Anyway, I did a little research on this one and there some great back story here. Apparently George Harrison wrote a verse for this song while on a trip to see the Maharishi with the Beatles and Mia Farrow but when Donovan recorded it he left it out. He says it was because Jimmy Page was playing such a great guitar solo that they couldn't let the song go over three minutes. But according to the musical producer and bass player, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page didn't play on the recording. If you want to know the rest of the story just check out the wiki.Anyhow, just the Gallinippers tonight. We tried a few other new ones and they turned out pretty good. But then again, we like them all. Considering all the songs we play are rarely anything we have practiced and in many cases we have never even played them before, you can't expect perfection. But we do expect rock and roll and that's what you get on the Jam Night Jukebox. Rock Out! -- DJ
