“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Fourth of July Follies (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

Last week was another holiday, so we’re going to celebrate it!

If you are in or near Highland Park, Illinois, or know someone who is, we extend our heartfelt condolences and well wishes. We’re going to be sensitive to that on this week’s show. If you’d rather listen to it later on your own time, that’s okay. I can get you connected to the archive where recordings are stored.

Let’s light it up (safely!) and let the sparks fly from a flock of…

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

So, I gathered a mish-mash of melodies that I love and that all of you love to mix together for a batch of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Travel Tunes (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

As the weather warms up in this hemisphere, this is generally the time of year when people get restless. Whether you’re off of school or work, your work is lighter in these warmer months, or you do more during the summer, but it’s something you enjoy, this is when many people start to fantasize about venturing outside. Maybe you sit outside for some fresh air, or maybe you yearn for a more substantial trip outside.

But many of us still can’t travel, whether because of the pandemic, cost, time, or some combination of the three.

So, whether you’re vacationing for real or vicariously, let’s hit the road with a suitcase full of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Studious School Songs (2022)”!

Let’s crack open the books and finish a crash course of…

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

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Language Lyrics (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

Language is an odd thing. You can use it to be direct. But you can also use it for metaphors, for puns and plays-on-words, or just to be extremely and intricately long-winded.

We love and frequently feature fun with words from both songs and our host (ahem) on Jammin’ with Jamie, but this week, it’ll be in the spotlight, as we take a metaphorical walk through a load 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: “Friendship Follies (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

Post-Valentine’s Day, we have another beloved (by me) Jammin’ with Jamie tradition!

This week, since we recently dragged ourselves through a holiday that celebrates romantic love, we’re going to celebrate a different sort of love and relationship that’s not celebrated as much, but is just as important!

Grab a buddy, as we jam to a flock 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…
