Jambeque

JAM

 BEQUE

On Saturday, Jim and his buddy Jeff hosted what will hopefully be the first of many Jambeques.  They set up a "stage" on Jeff's patio and people brought their instruments and music and got up to "Jam."  Bill fired up the grill and cooked burgers, brats, and salsicce.  The weather was perfect.  It was an amazing day, and I think everyone had a great time!  I have lots of pictures and had a hard time picking which ones to post.

Jim's sister, Karen, drove down from Milwaukee for the event.

My Aunt Kathy and her friend, Don, sang a few songs.

Jeff and his brother, Bill, jammed.

Jeff, Jim, and Bill were in a band in high school.  They had a mini reunion for a couple songs.

Jim played the drums for a couple songs, too.  Did you notice his shirt?

The party was a huge success!  Here is a video of Jim, Paul, and Jeff performing Hotel Yorba by the White Stripes.  You may want to pause the blog music at the top of the right side of this page before playing the video.
