November 11 2006 Jam

Ah, night three of the Anniversary Jam weekend. Oh, we’re surely going to folk it up this night.


Set one started out with Matt on vocals and acoustic, Dean on drums, Robert on guitar, electric or not, Lona on background vocals, Paul on harp, Cuba on congas, Pat on bass and Doc Schultz on banjo. “Glory of True Love,” “Long Monday,” “Son of a Son,” “Pioneer Love Song” started out the night.

Matt Hammer's youngest regular fan claps appreciatively at the end of the song; he'll soon be a year and a half old - while he cannot yet talk, he certainly knows what music he likes:

John A. one of our favorite folk maestro’s joined the band and sang “Worried Man,” “Chilly Winds” and “Sloop John B,” A little “Greenback Dollar” and “Souvenirs” rounded out this set.



Big thank you’s go out to John who help organize this anniversary celebration, supported all of the jammers and was here all three nights, as well as performing this night. We appreciate your support! Thank you, thank you!

Set two, brought Loren Arment center stage for a “Mrs. Robinson” duo with Jam Master Hammer. Key of two and jammers were off and running with a “Red, Rubber Ball”.

Robert Howard joined in for a little Mason Prophet tune about two men who were well hung, entitled “Two Hangman”.

“The boys” were joined by the “Lovely Miss Penny Lee” aka Ms. Loren Arment.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, Loren sang the civil war tune entitled, “Two Little Boys.” The Arment’s sang the John Prine, tongue-in-check, lovesong entitled, “In Spite of Ourselves.” A little “Helplessly, Hoping,” a little “Teach Your Children,” “Serum Run” and “My Little Cabin” rounded out the second set. Sweet, sweet harmonies were enjoyed by all.

Set three, brought Slicker Pickers, Dan Saddler, Joel Lockman, and Mark Houle front and center and were joined by Dean and Dan. A little “Down by the River” a “Changes in Lattitude” with Mark showing his age by needing to wear his glasses on stage so he could see the frets on his guitar. Mark then launched into a tune from his “Four for Fun Just for Friends” CD entitled, “Ballad of the Beacon.” Mark suggested that if folks drank a little more that they’d sound a whole lot better…

Moving right into a Rod Cook tune and then joined by the Arments on background vocals and Michelle on tambourine, Mark launched into “Flash o’ Fire.”



Matt moved the band into the Bruce Springstein tune, in honor of Veteran’s Day entitled, “Devil’s and Dust,” I slipped in for a little “Viagra” for women everywhere.

Loren joined Doc and Matt for some Doc Schultz magic performed “Corey” and “Bugler” (for our elderly pup, Pokey).

Matt joined in flute on “Walking with My Baby By San Francisco Bay.”

The boys then launched into a little “Save the Whales” Doc Schultz and Last Frontier Band” style and ended the night with all jammers on stage, singing “Bring in the Dozers,” a Schultz & Hammer original.

See y’all when you are ready for another “Matt Hammer Jammer” fix!


Live long, love much, laugh often… and play music!

I have loved your music ever since I saw you at the Sourdough Mining Company in 1985. I followed you all over, and saw you last at a place on Tudor Road (I think). This was just before I left for Seattle. Good luck in all you do, and I would like to be on your mailing list. virginia.adams@verizon.net. I hope to be in Alaka next year, and maybe I can see you then.
All the best,
Ginny
