“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: “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: “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)”!

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!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Santa Songs (Holidays 2014: Part 2)”!

Hi, everyone!

We’re continuing on with our holiday-themed jam sessions! Last week, we focused on getting ourselves into the spirit of the holiday season.

This week, we’re going to catch the next reindeer flight to the North Pole with our own sack stuffed full of…

Come on! I need to know what to pack!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Wishing You Happy Holidays… Harmonies (Holidays 2014: Part 1)”!

Hi, everyone!

I hope all of you Jammers out there had a very Happy Thanksgiving with loved ones!

All right, it’s officially after Thanksgiving, so now, I can finally open the floodgates and unleash my personal avalanche of tunes that I love jammin’ to this time of year!

So starting now, I am officially…

… What? … WHAT?!

“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: “Congressional Carols”!

Hi, everyone!

I hope you all went out to vote on November 4, if not earlier! I don’t need to tell you how important it is to vote, so I’ll just move on to why we’re all really here: the announcement of this week’s theme for our jam session!

Well, you know me: I can’t let an event like an election go by without acknowledging it on Jammin’ with Jamie, so this week, we’ll be jammin’ to some…

… I don’t remember voting for this theme…
