HamJam 2024
Get ready to rock out at HamXposition! It’s the Saturday night “HamJam,” hosted by Stephen Nickerson, N1BUS. The jam session may go into some long blues improvisations, spontaneous rock, blues, or folkie directions, but we also offer chords and lyrics for fun, but not-too-difficult songs for those who might want to practice playing or singing (see below).
Don’t play an instrument? No problem! Lend your singing voice to the jam. Or just come and listen. We’ll also have a number of simple hand percussion instruments for you to shake or strike to keep the beat!
