BruceM Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 As you can see in this pic, they've brought out the heavy equipment at the ice rink across the street from the 4-3-2-1 Club. That means it's time for the 17th rendition of the Frozen Jam at the 4-3-2-1 Club. I'll make some extra spicy chili, or perhaps some gumbo, and and I'll dig out the grill to prepare the required wieners. Who's coming over to help me warm up the basement? PS: Fear not if you can't make this one. There will be a very special Celebrity Jam held on Saturday, March 21. Mark your calendars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbie Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I remember the first Frozen Jam fondly. Just enough people to form the band. We played for hours. No pictures were taken. Bruce made me watch tennis in the middle of the night to sober me up so he could kick me out (I was still a relative stranger at the time). Boy have things changed. Only the heartiest souls brave the Minnesota winter conditions to attend the Frozen Jam. See you next Saturday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Last year was 26" of snow in two days, with more on the way as I was scooting out of town. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceM Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 This photo is from our party last November, which was a tribute to Bloozguy, Ray. I realized this morning as I thought about preparations for Saturday's shindig that every 4-3-2-1 Club HFC Jam from now on will be a tribute to Ray. Every single party he attended, he came bearing gifts, usually expensive vodka, but often food as well. He once brought crawfish from the Atchafalaya Basin to add to my version of Jeff's Gumbo, which I plan on making for this party as well. He once brought crawfish etouffee. He always brought a bottle of fine spirits for our collective consumption. And he always brought the latest his latest guitar or amp. I miss my friend. Here's to you, Ray.

robbie Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Q: what do you do when you don't have a drink to toast Ray for a picture at the 4321? A: put your hand on your heart. Just this morning, as I considered this party coming up on Saturday, my first thought was of Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceM Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 The spicy chili is ready. Almost time for a wiener run. I'd better go dig out the grill. Can't wait for the people to show up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceM Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Happy birthday, Chris! Wish you were here. We'll toast in your honor. Now, where are my people? I'm ready for more of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceM Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 What a difference a year makes. Withdrawal doesn't begin to describe my symptoms. Beginning in June, 2003 with my first HFC Open House Jam at the 4-3-2-1 Club, I started hosting rock parties every few months without fail until last year's Frozen Jam. It's been a year since that party, and I do miss my friends. Here's a few pics from last year's party. I have the day off tomorrow. Maybe I'll go through my photo archive and post pics from years past. Or perhaps I'll just do a search here, and bump a few threads. Search for "4-3-2-1" and see what you come up with. I miss my people! As is typical of Frozen Jams at the 4-3-2-1 Club, this one was sparsely attended, and I don't have a lot of photos of the action. Here's a few: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubs_42 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Nothing makes me feel more at home than an HFC Jam in the great white north. Flannel and stocking caps, a warm meal, loud guitars, and good conversations, what more do you need? Miss you @BruceMand all the 4321 Peeps, hope to see you soon.
