Hamer 50th Anniversary Gathering/Jam - Chicago (October 19th, 2024)

[diablo175]

I'm in, too!

To hell with my reunion. Airfare is booked! 

Let's rock!

@BTMN- let's figure out our set!

Anyone else want an old-head wielding a checkered Cali Custom to add some lame, 80's inspired shreddy parts? 

 

[BTMN]

Sounds like the house drummer is up for the Sabbath. Maybe I can connect with him and see if UFO and RYLAH are in his realm. Is there a song you might like to do?

 @BTMN @diablo175  I'm down for some hard rock too!  Let me know what you guys want to play.  I've played Scorps before, so could do the other part of that harmon lead.

I was telling @BTMN that I'm good with RYLAH, Living after Midnight and Paranoid and can handle all the leads (other than harmony parts) but can share if you're jonesing some.

I used to play Green Manalishi back in college and could probably re-learn it quick enough.

Just an FYI for those who don’t do FB:

I will be hitting Piece Brewery about 1:30-ish on Saturday for some lunch. That is Rick Nielsen's pizza Restaurant / Micro brewery.   It would be good to catch up with fellow HFC'er. 

Piece Brewery and Pizzeria 1927 W. North Ave. Chicago, IL 60622  https://www.piecechicago.com/

I might swing by Midwest Buy & sell before heading down to Reggie's.

Putting an APB out for a bassist who could help @BTMN @scottcald and myself out on stage w/ 4 songs. Without one, we're kinda dead in the water.

Sabbath- Paranoid, Priest- Green Manalishi & Living after Midnight and Scorps-Rock You like a Hurricane.

 

HELP!!!!!!

Don’t know about a live stream, but I do know it was recorded and CD will be made available in a week or so.

A Big Thank You to all that help organize and financed this event. It was great to see fellow members of the HFC and hear some great music. It would be great if we could at least do a dinner or a Chicago guitar store/pawn shop day once a year. 

[draelyc]

Wish I could have been there this year.  Hope this happens again!

Nice! 🤘

"...and a guitarist named Jim..."  Good enough. 😆

[kizanski]

Is the world really ready for “an eight piece Tom Petty tribute band”?

[Tortious]

Congratulations to Hamer Guitars on their fiftieth anniversary – here’s to another fifty!

Ummm.....

He remembered the guitar, so there's that.

He remembered the part worth remembering.

One of Reggie’s buses caught fire. I wondered if those were just for advertising or something else.
