Ok, so that gig was another experience. We went in with no expectations to practice and that is exactly what we did. Bob,s Java Jive is one unique experience. The first time for me or all of us Pleasant Heads and it was everything we thought as we patiently wait till it opened at 8:00 fairly on time. First thing through the door you notice the Jive has its own particular atmosphere and even it's own particular oxygen. There is the history of the place written on the walls and ceilings. Dave the friendly bartender had no idea anyone was playing this night so as I followed behind him and let him know the the bands were there to set up. He simply said, ok if you want to play come on in. Not a lot of pressure to start on time or anytime as far as we could tell.  So we found a few spots to set up on and began to play. Had some folks stop in as we played but mostly it was just us jammers. Ron Smith from the Great Pretenders stuck around as we rehearsed in Jive. Nice to see him out listening. We've listened to Great Pretenders Since the 70's and they're always fun. It was Third Degree Burn's first public (gig?) rehearsal, And Shandi got to rock. And so it went for about 3 hours or so. Thanks to all of you who came out and all of the players who played. We will probably do it again if ever again we need to feel that Java Jive soul coursing through our minds and lungs. We had some fun

We are going to be playing at the good old" Java Jive" at 2102 S Tacoma Way, in Tacoma on March 13th, Thursday night 9-12.  We will be hosting this jam and  two bands are already coming by so come on out,  bring the instrument of your choice (except bagpipes}and have some fun playing. We always do, so should you (--:
