“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Wintertime Tunes (2023)”!

Hi, everyone!

This week, in the top half of the globe, it’s the middle of winter. And in many parts of that top half, you can feel it. A lot of people make it a whole personality trait to complain about the cold. But there is a lot about cold weather to enjoy, even if it’s hunkering down inside with some warm, fuzzy clothes, warm blankets, warm food and drinks… and a warm audio device playing Jammin’ with Jamie!

So let’s warm up to the new season with a ton of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “New Year’s Resolution Refrains (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

We’re jammin’ on New Year’s Eve! Even though I personally consider New Year’s to be part of the holiday season, of course, some of us are still celebrating other, non-New Year’s holidays, whether because the holiday is actually going on, we still have celebrations going on, or because we’re just celebrating for as long as possible.

So, let’s end the year on a high note (pun intended) with a round of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Curious Choruses (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

I wondered for a while what to make the theme for this week. We’re in the middle of summer, but the “big” summer holidays have ended, and many of us are already planning for what’s coming up in the fall or beyond. What we do now is up to us… so what to do?

Maybe you’re waiting for something. Maybe you’re working toward something. Maybe you took a risk. Maybe you’re going for something that is, in one way or another, a big question mark.

Then I realized… the question is the answer!

Hear me out on this.

Wonder no longer, as we jam to a cavalcade of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “April Fools Follies (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

Here on Jammin’ with Jamie, you know that hardly a holiday goes by that we don’t celebrate in song. With all of the scheduling and technical tomfoolery, you might think we skipped a pretty notable April holiday…

Ha! We fooled you! You’d be a fool not to jam with us to this week’s flock of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Marvelous Motivational Melodies (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

We’ve all had times when we’ve decided to pursue a new goal, forge a new path, or just leave something that’s not making us happy, not helping us, or holding us back. Some people use New Year’s resolutions, the start of a new month, the start of a new season, their birthdays, or any other sort of momentous milestone as a symbolic “starting line” for turning the page.

But you don’t need any sort of special occasion to start writing a new chapter in our lives. But, if you need a jam session, you’re in luck, because we’re about to jam to a magnificent mix of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Sidesplitting Serenades (Part 2) (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

We’re still in the throes of a beloved––– pun intended––– Jammin’ with Jamie tradition!

Put down some cushions to land on, because we’re going to keep falling head over heels for another slew of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Blizzard Beats (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

Now that we’re all caught up on the Jammin’ with Jamie jam sessions that tech issues delayed and put out of order, we can forge ahead!

… And there might be a little more literal “forging” than usual, because depending on where you are, you might be covered in snow and ice!

This is the perfect time to bundle up and embrace the fun (yes, fun) that the weather can bring us this time of year with a bluster of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “New Beginning Beats (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

First of all, I know a couple of shows have been skipped. What happens is I write, record, and edit my shows, and send them to a database for remote shows. Then, someone at WNUR uploads them to the station’s software to play. There have been some errors recently in that second process, which has affected many shows, including our jam sessions. So, if you hear some songs and timely references that are out of date in the coming weeks, please enjoy the flashback!

This week, we have a rare occurrence: a Jammin’ with Jamie jam session on New Year’s Day!

So let’s start the New Year right (hint hint) by ringing it in with a batch of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Timely Tunes (2021)”!

Hi, everyone!

It’s officially Daylight Savings Time!

… Although, depending on where you are, just how much daylight time we’re saving is up for debate…

But whatever the case, we’re going to use our hour to the fullest by jammin’ to a ton of…
