F-Jam Studios Online Music Collaborations

F-Jam Online Music Collaborations Studios

I have hosted an online music collaboration group since about 1998. The name is from an old nickname that my bandmates have given me in bands I have drummed in over the years. FreddyJam, or Fred. E. Jam. I adopted this title for the online music collaboration group which started out on ICQ. The title is PLURAL because each member is a studio of sorts, and the group is a way for them to connect, and network. Currently we use a project site (a googlesite) at: https://sites.google.com/view/fjamcollabs/home (click other profiles above) along with a supporting facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/131537443544094/ (also clickable above)
