Philly H.A.R.P. at The Twisted Tail - November 2013

Hear Ye     Hear Ye

Our next jam is Tuesday November 19 at our usual time of 7pm"ish".   

Only the place is different. Mikey Jr. has invited us to come down to The Twisted Tail and we are excited. The Twisted Tail is at 509 S. 2nd St. Philadelphia, PA 19147  (215-558-2471)

As usual we play a mixture of classic blues, R and B, country (well, we have one Rockabilly song on the list) classic rock, etc. No hip-hop. Come and enjoy the food and fellowship of music. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished player we guarantee that you will have fun.  That is a money-back guarantee! If you have songs that you want to do we will do our best to accommodate. Otherwise, feel free to come up and solo on any song you feel comfortable with. 

One other difference is that from 6:30 to 7:00 we are going to have a presentation called "Playing Harp at an Open Mic".  This is especially appropriate for new players.
