Hi Folks,
Just a thought here on "spreading the word" about PBG (mentioned in a recent thread) and also something for the benefit of the PBG community ... I'll call it "Australia's biggest Jam Session!" (altho' it wouldn't surprise me if the term's already been coined)
I'm picturing an on-line event something like a tele-conference where all the PBG community connect in for a giant jam session together - it would be a great chance for us to hear each others guitars rather than just seeing them in pics (the primary driver behind this idea)
OK, so it'll have to start with something simple in the range of 3-chords ("wild thing" springs to mind!... well, maybe bad idea on that one!

Considering that the PBG community is at least somewhat "technically savvy" (internet-wise I mean) and with such products as Skype etc. it doesn't seem like a to big a technical task to set-up ... and for those that don't have the hardware or bandwidth there's many places that offer the service of tele-conferencing (larger Office Works stores do, among others) especially if two or more of us get together.
And with some "dropping the word" in the wider community (Music Stores, Muso's forums, media channels) its sure to gather at least some interest and maybe media coverage too (they love the "warm & fuzzy" human interest stories - even the weird and wonderful ones!) ... especially if it can also relate to some sort of charity.
Who knows ... as an annual event and after a couple of years we might even get PBG into the Guinness Book of Records ... as the "Worlds Largest One-Night-Stand Garage Band" or maybe the "Largest Group of Annoying Guitarists Ever Assembled"! 8-)
Something to think about ... or maybe not![]()
