“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Tongue-Twisting Tunes”!

Hi, everyone!

This week, we have a brand new, never-before-heard theme on Jammin’ with Jamie––– a theme that I’ve wanted to do for a long time!

If you’ve jammed with us before, you know that I always encourage all of my fellow Jammers (That’s you!) to sing and dance along with us as we jam to terrific tunes.

Well this week, we’re going to put your enunciation to the test, we jam to…

Bring it on!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Spring Songs”!

Hi, everyone!

Have you noticed something… different outside? Maybe you’ve noticed that you can now see the grass where there was once snow. Maybe you’ve noticed that there are more animals roaming around. Maybe you absentmindedly bundled up for sub-zero temperatures and a wicked wind chill recently, only to go outside and immediately regret your decision as you start sweating, which only gets worse as you look around and see that everyone else had the foresight to actually check the forecast before instinctively suiting up.

… That last one happened to a friend.

Now in the Midwest, particularly in the Chicagoland area, we know to never take non-extreme weather for granted, because tomorrow could bring a blizzard, thunderstorm, heat wave, or any other manner of dangerous weather, during which we’ll no doubt continue to go about our daily lives, anyway. Frankly, a real-life “sharknado” wouldn’t shake us.

So, in the spirit of enjoying the weather before it blows over––– literally––– this week, we’re going to jam to…

These breaks before the theme announcement warm my heart!

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

Hi, everyone!

For the third week, we’ll have another installment of another grand Jammin’ with Jamie tradition!

… Hey, do anything almost every week for four years. I dare you not to have traditions.

At any rate, two weeks ago, we jammed to a mix of hilarious, gut-busting love songs! No matter what your feelings about Valentine’s Day, we all had a lot of fun with these songs!

Still, I’m fully aware that the very thought of Valentine’s Day makes some people’s stomachs turn. So, I decided to counterbalance the “hilarious love song” jam session with a jam session celebrating a different kind of love.

Grab a buddy––– or, if you’re alone, keep one or more of your buddies in mind––– as we gather and jam to…

Friends don’t leave friends hanging!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “And the Oscar Goes to… Cinematic Songs”!

Hi, everyone!

It’s time for the fourth installment of another grand Jammin’ with Jamie tradition! This Sunday, February 22, Neil Patrick Harris will take the stage and host the 87th Academy Awards!

So we’re going to have our very own pre-Oscar party!

(Struggles to open the envelope)…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Sidesplitting Love Songs”!

Hi, everyone!

Today is Friday the 13th, and tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. So for some people, this year, they’ll have two days of bad luck!

Cue the rimshot!

Whether you love Valentine’s Day or hate it, you’re going to want to be jammin’ with us this week!

Get ready to laugh your heart out, as we jam to…

I love this already!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Alan Menken Melodies”!

Hi, everyone!

After a couple of weeks off, we’re back to jammin’!

A few years ago, we had a jam session dedicated to the songs of Irving Berlin. This week, I decided to dedicate our jam session to another person who has helped create so many memorable songs––– just like I said during the Irving Berlin-inspired jam session, even if you don’t know his name, you definitely know his work!

So this week, our jam session is dedicated to…

… To… ?

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Songs about Fresh Starts”!

Hi, everyone!

Even though we’re more than halfway through January, it’s still a good time to remind ourselves that a new year means a new start… if we make it that way, of course!

So, to further encourage you to seize the day and claim a fresh start for yourself, this week, we’re going to continue jamming to…

All right! Let’s get started!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Scrumptious Songs”!

Hi, everyone!

As I’m sure all of you Jammers out there are aware, next Thursday is Thanksgiving!

So this week, “jam” takes on a whole other meaning, as we “jam” to…

I can’t hear the music over my stomach growling!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Stormy Songs”!

Hi, everyone!

If you’re in the Chicagoland area, you know we’ve been having some crazy weather lately. Of course, this is par for the course in the Chicagoland area.

But even so, it can be hard to withstand the constant swinging from one weather extreme to another.

That’s where I come in!

This week, cozy up to your radio (or computer or mobile device), and tune in as we jam to…

This better be good. I don’t want to go outside!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Motivational Melodies”!

Hi, everyone!

Everyone needs a little pick-me-up every now and then. Everyone needs a little motivation, a voice saying, “You can do it!”

This seems especially true at certain times of the year––– for example, this time. Students are back in school, summer has ended for everyone (in this hemisphere, anyway), and there often seems to just be a sort of dip in people’s spirits in this transitional time between summer and the avalanche of holidays ahead, starting, of course, with Halloween!

But we’ll get to that soon! For now, we need some…

What?
