clarinet), Ted (keys), Louis (keys), Shad (drums),
John (guitar) and Jim (drums) joined in as the night
progressed. A vocalist free night apart from Wendy who was
brave enough to front the microphone for the very

of potential. A good time was had by all so I hope to see you

From TedThe Rotten Ronnie Chronicles (continued) As if... managed to get to two jams this week end -
Friday facilitated in part by the Guildord Lane
workshop now coming with new improved $10 cover charge, which, even with a 50% discount for
students, may prove a bit steep.
And what a medium sized week it has been in jams -Friday at the Leinster a joyous little bash, and even
though I left early, with jammers still staggering
across Gold Street and into the house, a fair amount
of jollity was already being had, as is invariably thecase with Col, Frank, multi-talented Luxmore and the
usual crew all firing. . See elsewhere for details...
Sunday, back to the Leinster, and I fronted with myTasmanian friend Prudence in tow, having promised
that she would at least be kept awake for the
afternoon. At first it was, admittedly, touch and go,
but as the session warmed up and more and moreassorted, or maybe unsorted ,jammers popped
through the door, the vol turned up, the tempo wastoe tapping and the musical standard reached,
maybe even exceeded, the apotheosis of average .
Even accounting for the fact that Tasmanians are a
little, er, different, Prudence declared herself wellentertained by the time we left. Props to Jeremy and
Frank (bass), Malcolm (sax) Captain Col leading
proceedings with customary aplomb, Al "I wish I was
Buddy Rich" on drums, Keef on bass clarinet, as wellas a some other *dude whose name I forgot who
could actually play drums, Marion on keys, a varietyof tonsil artistes including the sublime but scatty MissSmith, all topped off by **Tom (?) on blues harp
calling Blue Moon in five sharps - we like a challenge!
It has been noticeable in recent weeks that the Jam
sessions are entertaining the clientele in the back
bar, interfering with the smooth running of functions
in other parts of the Leinster, causing eight ball
players to tap their toes between shots, andgradually attracting the attention of complete
strangers (not to mention the partially strange
jammers themselves). It is in danger of becoming
popular. This is quite inappropriate and should ceaseforthwith. You have been warned. Ted Rotten Ronnie sends his regards
Editor…
* another dude – James on drums
* Tom - actually Ben on harp

From John HannaPenny School in Maldon looking for acts to perform
2.30pm SundaysI went to a performance by Doug Owen at thePenny School in Maldon and talking to the owner
and manager, Barry Vieth is or was a big band
muso and organiser. It is a good venue and I
believe Barry and his wife Marilyn are good
employers of musos. They have an excellent grandpiano. I have seen Jan Preston (piano), Miles White
(guitar) and Mark Hannaford (piano) play there.
The venue probably suits smaller groups best. Ithought you might be able to pass the word out to
people looking for gigs. It’s about an hour and a
half from Melb. They are also looking to attractaudiences from Melbourne
