“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Macabre Monster Melodies (2023)”!

Hi, everyone!

This is Jammin’ with Jamie Halloween jam session Number 3 of 6! … Because of course it’s six!

Now that we have our supernatural pals, our science fiction friends, and our slasher lads and lasses… there are a bunch of buddies that go bump in the night that you just can’t fit into any of those categories… or that cross over into a lot of those categories!

So, we’re jammin’ to a mix of…

So this week, we’re going to make our own dish of… Continue reading
