Cosmosis - Goa Jam

This may not be quite what you were expecting.

This performance was from a jam session on Palolem beach in Goa, India from December 2008.

The Jasmine holds a jam session at night at on the beach on wednesdays. Puts out a few tables and lights a small bonfire. People roll up and hang out on the beach until the early hours.

When guitarist and singer Gann got up to play a few tunes, he was gracious enough to accept my request to get up and jam along. Kudos to Gann because we had never met before this moment and I could've turned out to be just a drunken chancer and made him look awful...

Gann gives me the info on the tune, saying, "This one's kind of er... B minor" I found out later the tune is called, The St James Infirmary Blues.

Later I spent some time with Gann and found out he's from Mississippi has a record deal with a country label out of Nashville. Quite apart from being a walking encyclopedia of traditional american folk songs he turned out to be a top dude.

Big shout to Sandy for catching the moment on her video camera and actually sending me a DVD containing this clip from Goa.

Enjoy,
