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

2 Replies

Hi, everyone!

I know where a lot of my fellow Jammers will be this weekend… seeing The Avengers: Age of Ultron! I already saw it, and let me say: it’s epic, with drama, humor, and exciting surprises all the way through!

Also, on Saturday, May 3, it’s Free Comic Book Day, so go visit your local comic book store! Have you never been to your local comic book store? Well, Saturday would be a great day to start!

But what will you do as you wait outside with baited breath for the comic book store to open Saturday morning?

Suit up, Jammers, because it’s time for…

Jammers… ASSEMBLE!

Thoughts On: “Pee-wee’s Playhouse”

3 Replies

Hi, everyone!

I could easily write an entire post just about Pee-wee Herman (Peewee.com) and his various projects. But, it would be very long, and, honestly, I’d love to write about Pee-wee Herman again, so I’m going to leave that possibility open for myself and just focus on Pee-wee’s Playhouse for this post. So… you’re welcome!

I’m writing about Pee-wee’s Playhouse now for three reasons…

1. The entire meticulously re-mastered series was released on Blu-ray by Shout! Factory (ShoutFactory.com) on October 21, 2014. By the way, Shout! Factory has a pretty unique library of releases. You should check out their catalog!

2. I want to.

3. You’ll have to keep reading to find out this last one!

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…

I hit the jackpot!

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

Hi, everyone!

Doesn’t it seem like it’s been a while since we’ve had a holiday? Okay, so we just had St. Patrick’s Day a couple of weeks ago, but doesn’t seem like it’s been a while since we had a holiday-themed jam session?

Well, I think it’s been way too long, so I’m going to fix that! If you can hunt down our jam session on your radio (or computer or mobile device) down our jam session on your radio (or computer or mobile device) this week, you’ll find…

What? What glorious thing have I uncovered?

“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!

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!

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… ?

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: “New Year, New Beginnings”!

Hi, everyone!

That’s right: Jammin’ with Jamie is back from winter hiatus, and we’re all set to start jammin’ again to some fun tunes you can sing and dance to!

It’s a brand new year, which means it’s a great time to wipe the slate clean and start something new or rededicate yourself to something you love.

Of course, starting something new or diving back into something you’ve been away from for a while can take some motivation.

Well, that’s what we’re here for! Come in from the cold weather, curl up by your radio, computer, and/or mobile device, and join us as we embark on a new adventure with…

“Huzzah and tally ho! We’re off and here we go”!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “My Favorite Holiday Harmonies (Holidays 2014: Part 3)”!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

After this week’s jam session, we’re going to go on hiatus for a few weeks, but we will return Saturday, January 10!

But for this week, we’re still jammin’ to those timeless holiday harmonies! Which ones are we jammin’ to this week, you ask?

Great question!

Have you ever wondered what I’m doing behind the mike while we’re jammin’ to fun tunes each week? Well, usually, I’m singing and dancing right along with you!

Yes, it’s true: I love almost all of the songs we jam to and know them by heart! But, as I put together each week’s theme for us to jam to, some of my absolute favorite songs just end up slipping through the cracks.

So this week, we’re going to fix that, as we jam to some of…

The suspense is more chilling than the weather!
