+moop Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Last night I played a gig at a pub in Toronto. I happened to include my friend Zeker on my email invitation list and it turns out he plays a pretty mean harmonica. It got me to thinking that a geocaching jam might be fun. The guidelines appear to prohibit such a gathering from being listed as an Event Cache. I'm wondering if there's sufficient interest to organise one in this forum. I have another gig on the 24th October. My band plays mostly classic rock but can manage most other genres. I have a laptop computer with the lyrics and chords for hundreds of songs. Could this happen? Edited October 4, 2008 by moop Quote Link to comment

Could this happen? I had a blast Jammin' with Moop & his fellow NADS. Count me in for a jam night (pssst really an event but don't tell the geocache police). Zeker Quote Link to comment

Could this happen? Why not arrange a camping weekend, or a meet and greet, and include a jam session (or two) as the prime focal point? As I understand the rules for event caches, they must be open to all, and not be designed around a non geocaching event to which the public is invited. In the case of a jamming event cache, listeners as well as pickers and singers are part of a jam? Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 We could add a pianist, a couple of guitar players and a singer if this was on the we(s)t coast! Quote Link to comment
+The Find Its Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 My wife is in a vocal group and has an amazing voice, my only claim to fame is the Djembe and the Didgeridoo neither of which are in too much demand at any sort of jam session. Maybe we should cross the straight and hook up with the Landsharkz and have a cross Canada battle of the Geo-Bands. [] Quote Link to comment
+2happy2gether Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Count me in. This sounds right up my alley. Quote Link to comment
+moop Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hmmm. Maybe not enough interest to warrant an event (although I might consider Mag Magician's suggestion when warmer weather returns). For those who would like a preview, we'll be playing at TKO's Sports Pub 1600 Danforth Avenue (at Coxwell), Toronto on Friday 24th October. Admission is free. I'll be the cool dude playing bass guitar. Quote Link to comment

+moop Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Not from the area but I can play piano or the button accordion via Skype haha! Now if we could only overcome propagation delay by some sort of time warp , that could be a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment
+qtest Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I play mandolin and some other things....but I am on the Big West Rock Quote Link to comment
+Tri_Again Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm not sure I'm good enough to call myself a musician. I stum out a few songs on the accoustic guitar. I play mostly on my own as a way to relax, plus my fiancee loves to listen to me play. I'm far from band material, but would always love to stum a cord or two in an attempt to get better. That's what happens when you don't start learning until your late 30's. Quote Link to comment
+hurleyanne Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Regina cacher olemaz has a musical multi set up. You have to park at the coordinates for the first stage, and listen to a geocaching song he transmits on an fm frequency. I haven't done it yet, but it's on my list of SaskCaches I want to do! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...=y&decrypt= Quote Link to comment
