I was thinking 45 mins per song which would give us 8 songs! How many songs do you normally get done at a jam?

Oh,,err...can’t remember....maybe about 8-10 songs in sets...so we do say 3 or 4 sets....

For a rough guide, 15-20 minutes is ample time to get a recording done, even with 2 or 3 takes. That's how it usually pans out at Sasquatch

We've done 12-15 in a day before.

Yep, the key thing is for people to turn up knowing the song, it’s not about learning the song on the day, that wastes time. Ideally get a few runs through with the band to finesse timing in another room first if possible. We lost a bit of time at the last jam as the drummer hadn’t practiced the 7/8 timing in “times like these” so we had three aborted runs trying to get it coordinated.

Now, you know why I did not nominate any Zappa compositions.

And here I was thinking we could do Interstellar Overdrive.......
