Jamming with Jamie and Niall 06/06/08

3 weeks ago Jamie Williams invited me and his friend Niall over to jam. It turned out to be a productive jam so we've made it a weekly thing. We've discovered that we like to experiment with weird syncopated odd time signatures. I'm posting some clips from our 2nd jam. We hope to have enough small clips of music that we can piece together songs some day. One of the nice things about our lineup is that we can switch places when we get bored.

1007a - we call this "six" after the time signature - Jamie drums, Niall guitar, Dan bass
