    @AttyTJ it doesn’t get more romantic than that buddy. She’s a lucky woman.

    And never again tell us you are too nervous. That took some serious conviction. Well done!

    Since you @Cadgirl are getting emails there will be at least one that you should receive on that day before the event and another as the event begins. Including the link.

    Well Jesse, I can only say three things.

    Jam Clubs absolutely exist and to give someone the chance to find you please add an address representing at least the general area where you live.

    I personally am not aware of the commercial you refer to, so I won’t acknowledge or discredit your comment.

    Jam Clubs, while being given a proud ‘thumbs-up’ to them by TAC, are indeed NOT officially sponsored/supported by TAC as a part of TAC that you are paying for by joining.

    So, at this point the real question is, do you wanna join one or is the concept of no interest to you? As I suggested in my post earlier on here, go to http://www.tac.tonypolecastro.com/clubs. If, by chance you live near us, we’d welcome you to join us. It’s all about fun and friendship.

    Hi @lisa18wheels.

    First, “alleged” is an unjustifiable word to use for Jam Clubs. Those who host (which isn’t simply, “Hey come over”), do a LOT, and put MUCH effort into creating a fun and safe environment for those attending. I and my wife started inviting local TAC members in 2015, and the attendance has grown from 5-8 folks, to at times, 25-30 folks, including spouses, and sometimes their kids. We’ve even added the occasional house concerts for after dinner (yes we serve dinner) recording artists to perform in our back room for a small fee from those attending.

    SO……I assure you Jam Clubs are NOT alleged. A while after that first gathering, Tony and Levi, and staff became big fans. As teachers, isn’t it a huge bit of gratification and joy to see your students gathering ON THEIR OWN, to share what they have learned from your teachings? In this case, Tony’s Acoustic Challenge.

    TAC loved it so much they decided to ask us to provide a location where we live. It doesn’t have to be exact, but enough for those wanting to invite folks to a jam, to learn who, is or isn’t “local”. We are based in the NE Philly suburbs. And, as we have discovered, “local” is an interesting word, since we personally have had members from upstate NY and Virginia (near DC), Maryland, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, etc. 3 hr trips, and longer, just to get together with musical family we would have never had our lives enriched by if it weren’t for TAC.

    ERGO, Jam Clubs are NOT alleged. SO if every member would be so kind as to put in their profile an idea of where they live, Jam Club hosts, with the help of some on-line search functions, will be able to invite folks, when we get together in person again.

    Right now some of those functions may not work perfectly or might not be implemented at all yet, but they will be. After all, this new website was and is a huge undertaking, and isn’t getting the lessons themselves available to all members the key to TAC and why we log in everyday? Priorities……..

    Also, folks getting mad at the TAC gang for things like this is not valid, and not fair. They support us 100%, but the main thrust of this new website is to help folks like you and me to get better at playing guitar. It’s why we joined, no?

    To all members: DO YOUR PART to assist in getting everything running as best as possible. Yes, a lot of it is not in our control, but what IS in our control, is our duty to complete. We are “members”. We are “family” via learning together. Helping the cause is what we do, isn’t it?

    I guarantee that TAC East (Friends With Strings), and all the other jam clubs will indeed start looking for members in their locale, and there could well be communications via Community posting alerting folks to such gatherings. At such time it will be up to the individual to decide if they are local enough, or not.

    Meanwhile we do exist, but currently are not listed in the new website like we were in the old one. You all know where you live, share it in your profile, then, while it is still available, please go here and look under Jam Clubs. There is a good chance your local Jam Club is listed there, Take hold of the info for the future, which God-willing will be sooner than later.
