You know some people can play an instrument...(lots of pictures)

Bill does a passable job with the band. That night, he earned the right to play "cool guy with the shades" because he delivered. There weren't any clams, his pitch was OK, and he didn't try to overreach. In short, he didn't embarrass himself because he can jam!



Remember Kerry doing the same thing on the campaign trail in '04? Well John isn't bad either. In fact, he was actually in a band, because John can jam!




And of course, there's Rep. John Hall who played with ORLEANS and cowrote the hit song "Still the One". He can definitely jam!



I've been a drummer for 30+ years and I have played with alot of fantastic musicians. What I've learned is that some people can jam, and some people can't.

These boys can't jam!*

Let the Mighty Eagles Soar! from ship to shining shore! 2+2 is 4! Wow! It's just like Cole Porter!

Laugh it up funny boy. You're goin' DOWN!



I got nothing. This just writes itself.

And Tony baby, no offense and I sincerely do hope you recover, but you can't jam either. Your pitch is all over the place and you don't know how to slow down and listen. Maybe this is an off night.

And of course, it helps if you know the words to the song when sending men off to fight for it (Roseanne, you're hereby vindicated):






*In the interest of fairness...Yes, Condi can jam...so perhaps she should pursue a career as a concert pianist instead?

The Tavis Smiley Show, December 15, 2004 · Laws aren't the only thing Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch writes -- he's also a talented songwriter who pens gospel hymns, love ballads, country tunes. A few of his songs have even made it into move soundtracks. Hatch talks with NPR's Tavis Smiley about songwriting and discusses his new holiday CD, Christmas Eve.

4. I question whether Condi can jam

Without the sheet music to tell her what keys to punch. In order to really jam one must be able to play by ear.

5. you could be right, but she plays like she genuinely wants to be really

good at it. I can admire that in any musician. But who knows? Maybe she can cut it with some Monk. :)
