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

Hi, everyone!

This week, we have a brand new theme that I’ve never done before!

In real life, bad decisions usually lead to bad places. In song, though, bad decisions and bad calls of all sorts can make some of the most hilarious music!

In the spirit of the holiday that people either love or loathe, this week, we’re going to be jammin’ to…

Are you pulling my leg?

Thoughts On: “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”

Before we get started, follow Pee-wee Herman’s adventures on his official website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and his new YouTube channel, and join his FREE Premium Diamond Platinum Fan Club!

I’ve written about Pee-wee Herman twice before. Both times, I predicted I’d end up writing about Pee-wee’s Big Holiday when it was released on Netflix.

… I’m psychic!

I was so excited for Pee-wee’s Big Holiday that I stayed up until 12:00 am PT––– 2:00 am my time––– to watch it the second it premiered!

This was how I looked just before 2:00 am on March 18.

Thank goodness I was on a different floor with the door closed… otherwise, my constant laughter would’ve woken everybody up!

That’s about how high I jumped every time I heard news about “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday.”

Here’s the trailer…

Pee-wee’s Big Holiday is written by Paul Reubens and Paul Rust, directed by John Lee, and produced by Judd Apatow. (You all know how much it means to me to see someone who’s both a writer and a performer!)

Let’s do this!

“Ha ha!”

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Eastertime Tunes”!

Hi, everyone!

Another holiday is upon us! Here on Jammin’ with Jamie, we’re hard-pressed to let a holiday go by without celebrating it with a jam session!

So, after an Easter egg-style hunt, I came up with a basket filled to the brim with…

I’m “hopping” with excitement!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Election Lyrics”!

Hi, everyone!

If you’ve been exposed to any sort of news outlet in the past few months, you’re well aware that this is an election year.

Elections, especially high-profile ones, are, by nature, divisive. Passionate people on any side of any issue clash like never before with people on another side. Sometimes, there are intelligent, respectful debates of viewpoints in which both sides are listening and open to greater understanding.

… Other times, there aren’t.

With all the insanity, we all need a chance to some together for a special brand of insanity we can all support… Jammin’ with Jamie! No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, this Saturday, you’ll want to be on our team, as we jam to…

All in favor, say, “Aye!”

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Songs to Put a ‘Spring’ in Your Step”!

Hi, everyone!

Believe it or not, spring is starting soon! This may particularly surprise Midwesterners, who had such a mild winter.

Nevertheless, spring will soon be upon us, and I want all my fellow Jammin’ with Jamie Jammers out there to be ready to greet it with a smile… and a song!

So, with that in mind, this jam session will present a bouquet of…

But I have allergies!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Songs of Friendship: Redux!”

Hi, everyone!

Thank you again to all of you to stayed with us so patiently as we worked through unexpected technical difficulties last week.

To make up for lost time, I decided to not only carry over the songs we had to skip over last week for the sake of time, but also the whole theme, giving us…

Let’s do this! … Again!
