Hi, everyone!
So many Jammin’ with Jamie traditions, so little time! And time is money!
Which reminds me… to remind you that income taxes are due April 15.
… I’ll wait until you’ve stopped hyperventilating…
Welcome back!
This week, as you fill out all those forms and crunch all those numbers––– or as you put them off just a little longer––– turn us on and jam with us to…
Hi, everyone!
It turns out I misread WNUR’s schedule, so we actually have one more Halloween-themed jam session to squeeze into the spooky season!
On October 10, Rich Koz (a.k.a. “Svengoolie”) was honored for his thirty-five years as Svengoolie (formerly “Son of Svengoolie”) at the Museum of Broadcast Communications (Museum.tv) in Chicago. It was an amazing event, and I highly encourage all of you to go to the MBC and check out all of the great exhibits they have there––– including, of course, the brand new Svengoolie exhibit that was unveiled that night! The exhibit includes his original coffin that was also used by Jerry G. Bishop, the original Svengoolie.
Mr. Goolie himself (and me) at the MBC! It’s always great to see you, Sven!
Also, October 31, 2014 has been declared “Svengoolie/Rich Koz” day in both the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois in his honor. Congratulations, Rich Koz! You certainly deserve it!
Of course, in case anyone hasn’t heard yet, the Queen of Halloween herself, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is hosting a brand new series on Hulu (Hulu.com), entitled, 13 Nights of Elvira, that I also highly recommend!
So, with all this news about horror movie hosts, what else can we do this week but jam to some…
Hi, everyone!
Well, the bad news is, we’re wrapping up our month-long theme of Halloween harmonies to haunt our heads and really get us into the spirit of the spooky season.
… The good news is, we have a fearfully fun jam session to wrap it all up as tightly as a mummy!
Last week, we jammed to songs about both the supernatural and the sci-fi sides of Halloween.
This week, we’re so close to the actual holiday, we’re just going to dive into our bag of tasty tunes to dig out some…
I got a “rock”… Get it? “Rock,” like “rock music”? Never mind…
Hi, everyone!
We’re continuing on with our month-long theme of Halloween harmonies to haunt our heads and really get us into the spirit of the spooky season!
Last week, we jammed our way through the roster of the various creatures that tend to lurk around this time of year. But have you ever noticed that the scares that surface at this time each year tend to fall into one of two categories?
Well, this week, we’re going to look at both sides of the coin, with a series of…
Hi, everyone!
It’s time! It’s October, so it’s high time that we all got into the spirit of the season! Now this time of year brings a diverse menagerie of creatures our way, so let’s use this week’s jam session to see what we’re up against! It’s time for…
Hi, everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
This is the time of year to remind ourselves of all that we’re thankful for. While I was doing just that, I figured I might as well write down my thoughts and share them with all of you!
Hi, everyone!
Before I dive into this post, I’m proud to announce that this will be my very first post that includes a picture!
Remember how I wrote last week that some Jammers may think it was too early to break out the Halloween music?
Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but times have changed. Specifically, from September to October.
It’s time.
But, despite this, I also realize that some Jammers may need a little help getting into the spirit (pun intended). Well, I’m here to help!
One tradition we have in my family, which I have continued to uphold on my own, is watching “Halloween” movies and television specials throughout October. (I put “Halloween” in quotes because many of them are not explicitly Halloween-related, but are horror or horror comedy films that remind us of Halloween anyway.)
In light of this, in this week’s jam session, we’ll opening up the crypt to unleash…
Hi, everyone!
While I don’t think it’s too early to start the Halloween music (It’s never too early for Halloween music!), I know not all of my fellow Jammers will agree with me. Sorry, fans of haunting Halloween harmonies: I’m going to have to string you along just a little longer. Rest assured, though: it will definitely be worth the wait!
At any rate, this week, for our very first jam session (since June, anyway), I’ve decided to instead focus on another scary prospect that has students everywhere cowering behind their summer beach towels: school! It’s September, which means it’s “back to school”; on the bright side, though, it also means that Jammin’ with Jamie is back on the radio airwaves again!
So, this week, we’re–––
This is my website… and my blog! I’ll try to keep things interesting, I promise!
What will I be writing about? Well, pretty much anything goes. (I do promise to keep all of my own writing appropriate, though.)
I will say, though, that I have a lot of catching up to do, so don’t be surprised if you find articles about, for example, Mary Poppins, Svengoolie (Svengoolie.com), Pee-wee Herman (Peewee.com), Robin Williams, Riders in the Sky (RidersintheSky.com), and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Elvira.com) all right in a row. (And there are plenty more where those came from!)
Also, don’t be surprised if I post a link to something I’ve previously written that has found its way online one way or another, such as one of my guest articles on the horror-themed blog, Terror from Beyond the Daves (TerrorDaves.com).
If I do post a link to anything, whether it’s something I wrote, something that has nothing whatsoever to do with me (other than the fact that I saw it), or something in between, I’ll make sure I write a little something to accompany it.
If I’ve piqued your interest, that’s great!
At the time of this posting, this site is still very much a work in progress. Pictures and other sections of the site are in the works and coming soon!
With that, it’s full disclosure time.
If you’re reading this, whether you know me personally or not, I’m already incredibly grateful to you. The fact that you decided to read something I wrote––– no matter what the subject––– is not something I take for granted. I will do absolutely everything I can to keep our time together interesting, entertaining, and engaging for all involved.
Please feel free to leave comments with your thoughts, questions, etc., or just to say, “Hi!” and let me know you’re here!
… And this is just the beginning! I hope you come back soon!
Thank you for reading,
Jamie Lee
