I Give You - CORN!
We are just chilling at Dave’s house - right now. Sam is going crazy on the guitar playing an awesome tool song. Tonight was supposed to be Jammin’ Home Evening. The standard monday home evenings for single college kids who are tired of single ward routines. We started it three years ago, and it just stopped after a while. Jammin’ Home Evening was a melting pot of guitar playing and music sharing from some extremely talented musicians. None of which were me.
This, was actually was just the same as every night now that I think about it. The Crew got together at The Hospice (Dave’s old house just south of BYU campus) and every single night it seemed, we had 10 + people going over and just passing the guitar around. It was a “No Dave Matthews” zone but pretty much everything else went. Every single stinkin night - and it was awesome. I just started picking up the guitar to play a little more seriously around that time. It was a most excellent time to be around this particular group of people. The term “Jammin’ Home Evening” was a night the same as every other, but that is what we still labeled every monday night. When we moved into The Alamo together things slowly changed.
Though tonight ended up being a slight failure (though there was still some music played randomly) - I think many of us actually hope to bring “Jammin’ Home Evening” back in full force since we don’t ever get together anymore to just hang out and play music outside of guitar night, and maybe cookie night once in a while. Though I only had 15 unique visitors to my blog yesterday, I hope that at least a few of you play the guitar or were part of that original group that just hung out being awesome every night and feel a desire to join… to make next time a little bit more of a success.
My apologies though, it probably would have been slightly better had I not spent time writing a blog post or voting to watch “Pride and Prejudice” (which we won’t do).
