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!
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…
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…
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…
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!
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…
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!
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…”
Hi, everyone!
For those of you affected by the “polar vortex” that much of the country is experiencing right now, I hope you’re staying warm and safe!
While thinking about possible themes for this week’s jam session, I realized that we’re only a couple of weeks away from Valentine’s Day. Now don’t worry: our annual jam session to unconventional and hilarious love songs is coming up!
But romantic love isn’t the only type of love. (For those of you who have seen Frozen, I’m sure you’ll agree. For those of you who haven’t seen Frozen… you need to. You can read why here.)
So grab a buddy (or just keep him or her in mind), as we jam to…
… Is it really “friendly” to leave us in suspense like this?!
