Who’s Hosting This Sunday’s Virtual Jam?
This week’s jam is hosted by Claire Ishii. Claire has been leading a weekly jam at the Milwaukie Center for over nine years until COVID brought things to a halt. With a little encouragement, she decided to give Zoom jams a try and discovered that it provided a welcomed release for her and the M.C Jammers. Not only do they get to see and chat with each other, but they are now jo8ned by new friends from across the country. If you wish to take part in this jam, would like to play with the M.C. Jammers, just email Claire and ask to be added to the list. They meet every Thursday from 9:30 – 11:00 AM Pacfic time. Her email address is: ishiismith@gmail.com

Helpful Zoom Tips
- Zoom is like a video chat with multiple people. Just click the link, and then it will prompt you to download the software. You can run it on your computer, but you can use it on your phone too. It will be difficult to have everyone playing altogether because of latency, so the leader will mute everyone during the song so you’ll hear just the leader singing and playing, and then we’ll unmute between songs so that we can chat.
- Have your music book available on a different device than you’re using for the Zoom (for example, Zoom on your computer or phone, and music on your tablet).”See” you Sunday!
We can only have 100 people on at a time, first come first served.
