The Ashtones and any guests and
members who want to Jam!
We have a full line-up,
I'm asking all performers
to please
get there by 1pm.
Our account has been revised.
SAME handle as before,
@TennesseesongW1
but it's a new account, you'll
need to re-follow, sorry!
Important!
Pitch procedure change.
This will effect only Pitches when
our guest is in the room.
Designed to try to accommodate
everyone, it's now as follows;
Round 1
Everyone will be asked to email
1 song request, (title)
Songs must be received by
that Monday, 4PM Central.
We CAN NOT Guarantee any
songs received after this time.
Round 2, (if there is one)
Only members attending,
either in the room or on fb.
Since your songs are coming from
our Playlist, you can choose any
song you want now.
Any possible subsequent Rounds
In the room only
As always, you may get multiple Pitches
if you're writing with other members.
