Nice win @PersnicketyJim -- this is the closest we have to a Type II Taste, but again the MJM was won before I even listened (and it would've take me a bit for sure). Just last year @TwiceBitten pointed this version out when the MJM was the Meatstick from the same show -- which @PersnicketyJim also won!:

Is it safe to say that jim is owning this shit?

Yeah, absolutely crushing it. He and I both have 6 wins, but he's won 6 out of the last 24 or something obscene, while it's taken me years...

Hey, I've been playing for a while, too. It just took me about 50 MJMs to develop a particular method, which I'll gladly divulge after one more victory. Emeritus status is right there waiting for us @uctweezer and @mcgrupp81. That said, your ability to recall the blog details is freakish itself, @uctweezer.[/quote]

As long as that method isn't "built a Shazam library of all circulating recordings", I'm curious to hear your method! Mine is simple:

1) what year / era does it sound like?
2) what kind of venue does it sound like?
3) what key is the jam in?

And once that's narrowed things down a bit, I peruse the jam charts and poke around.
