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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Hi, everyone!
I did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! Idina Menzel and James Snyder, thank you for the challenge!
Pee-wee Herman, Gonzo the Great, and Communications Residential College (CRC) residents past and present, you’ve been challenged!
You can make a donation to the ALS Association, too, at alsa.org. It’s a great cause!
Hi, everyone!
For most students, this time of year means the start of summer vacation, but even if you long ago closed your last textbook, we’re all still heading into summer! Summer seems to have a way of revitalizing people and inspiring them to embark on new endeavors with new energy. Well, who am I to argue with that?!
So, in the words of a certain new Broadway musical, “Here I Go”… or rather, here we go…
Hi, everyone!
That’s right, after a brief hiatus, we’re back to jammin’!
I hope you had a great Mother’s Day, no matter how you personally relate to the day. So, in honor of Mother’s Day, as well as Father’s Day, which is right around the corner (Sunday, June 15), this week, we’ll be jammin’ to…
Hi, everyone!
I apologize in advance for reminding you of this… but on April 15, income taxes are due.
But wait! Whether you’re still working on them, are still putting them off, or are actually already done and just want to enjoy your accomplishment, we have a great jam session for you, as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
I survived my third Dance Marathon (nudm.org)… only to immediately get very, very sick at one of the worst times possible (not that there’s ever a good time to get sick!).
On the bright side, I met Svengoolie (Svengoolie.com) again at the Brookfield Zoo AAZK Spaghetti Dinner (BrookfieldZoo.org), benefitting Vital Ground!
Hi again, Sven!
But after a couple of weeks off, we’re back to jammin’, and my goodness, do we have a great theme to jam to this week! I’m going to be honest: I’ve wanted to do this theme for a while, but I wasn’t sure how to tie it into a current event or season, and I also wasn’t sure how it would go over with my fellow Jammers. But now, not only do I have the perfect current event tie-in, but I’ve also been jammin’ with all of you long enough to realize that this is right up our (awesome) alley!
So…
“It’s time to play the music! It’s time to light the lights! It’s time…”
