“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “How about Those Weather Songs?”

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

Various life events apparently conspired to make it so that Jammin’ with Jamie was unable to “jam” last week. I apologize for that.

But in light of this, I made sure that this week’s theme would be so much fun, it’ll more than make up for our unexpected one-week hiatus!

People across Chicago and many other areas of the United States are currently bundling up to face the cold weather––– and, I hope, in many cases, enjoy it. As we do so, the often-parodied “ice breaker” question (pun intended), has taken on new significance, as we all turn to the bundled-up stranger next to us and ask…

… Yes?

Hi, everyone!

Jammin’ with Jamie is back! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and that your new year is off to a great start!

A lot’s happened over the past few weeks. I saw Wicked again, saw some amazing movies, and I’ve been writing a lot. Plus, I saw “Sventa Claus” (Svengoolie) (Svengoolie.com) at Alternate Reality Comics in Chicago on December 14! What does “Sventa” look like? Here’s a picture:

“Hooray for Sventa Claus! Yay yay for Sventa Claus!” (If you get that reference, congratulations! You’ll now have that song stuck in your head all day!)

“Hooray for Sventa Claus! Yay yay for Sventa Claus!” (If you get that reference, congratulations! You’ll now have that song stuck in your head all day!)

To celebrate the new year, as well as acknowledge the fact that, given our timeslot, most people are actually waking up to a new day as they jam with us, this week jam session’s theme is…

Drumroll please…

Hi, everyone!

I’m sure you saw this coming. With only one last jam sessions remaining before we take a brief hiatus until January, it had to come up eventually.

… What did?

Hi, everyone!

As I discussed last week, we’re going through the annual transition from Halloween to the rest of the year, and looking ahead to the many holidays celebrated between now and the time we change our calendars.

As I’m sure most of you are aware, the first among the rest of these holidays is coming up next Thursday––– Thanksgiving! Of course, Thanksgiving is all about being thankful, and I’m thankful that I get to have a jam session with all of you every week!

But of course, we all know what else Thanksgiving brings every fourth Thursday of November. So this week, we’re going to jam to…

… To?

Hi, everyone!

UPDATE: This will be happening this Saturday, November 16!

After a couple of weeks off due to Sportsathon and other life incidents, respectively, we’re back to our regularly scheduled jam sessions!

As we transition from Halloween to the rest of the year and look ahead to Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve, and the many other holidays celebrated between now and the end of the year, in my experience, an interesting transformation occurs. Namely, many people suddenly become happier and more optimistic about life in general.

But whether you find yourself grinning or grimacing at the thought of the coming months, this week’s jam session is for you! Because this week, we’re going to…

What? What are we going to do, Jamie Lee?!
