Hi gang!

Last week’s CMC Jam was really off the hook as we welcomed first-time host John Kerver and celebrated his 50th brthday. Joining us on bass was none other than GS Harper! Things got musical in short order with the assistance of our jammers: Skip Werke, Bob Laeng, Todd Starr, Kurt Leonard, Dan Elliott, Dan Haller, John Powell, Gregory McGill, Elaine Reisdorf, Patricia Reiter, Jerry, Tom Leatherman, Ron Jackson, Aimee Bellinger, Bob DeVries, Jaime Flores and JMY T. Thanks to them and to everyone else who came out to enjoy some music and help celebrate John’s birthday, including: Tim, Bob, Lisa, Susie, Suann, Nancy, Jane, Jimmy, Colleen, Helen, Gerald, Tricia, Rick, Amanda, Jason, Rob, Kathy, Bill, Jim, Pamela, Pam, Vern, the dancing Marilyns, and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful.’ Thanks to this week’s sponsors: John Kerver, Guitar Center N. Olmsted and Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. It’s not every day someone wins a Harley at jam night! Special thanks to the management and staff of Bullfrogs for being so accommodating with our special jam.

On to Friday, when Shady Drive debuted at Aces Grille – Middleburg Heights. It was great to see Sandy, Ken, Chris, Daryl and Gabby! Amazing job on the sound boards by Brett Young. We’re back there on November 21.
