This page was once the exclusive site of the original Swigwam Blues Jam, but that awesome jam - blues, beach, beer, bikini babes and incredible sunsets - was thrown under the bus by a new management in 2010. Recordings from other blues jams have subsequently been added here. The link to the Swigwam jams can be found below with the others. Note that the MP3s on these jam pages resulted from simple multi-track mixes with minimal processing and most older ones have been archived at a low resolution to save on server space. |
