Song information
Back in 2009, during the heyday of Macjams.com, I wrote this song as kind of a theme for the site. Truth is, it can serve as a theme for ANY independent site of amateur musicians.

Anyway, it was great fun doing this. It’s one of my favorite old collaborations.

Boys in the band:

Myself: Lyrics, vocal, rhythm guitar, and organ.
Vic Holman: Lead guitar.
Neil Porter (Jiguma): Bass guitar.
Andy Mackle: Live drum kit.

Remastered in 2024 by Tom Hellsten, TSTstudios

Lyrics
ROCKIN’ THE MAC

I
I get up and before I know I’m fastened to my seat again;
headphones on, volume turned to nine.
—Heart pounds, palms sweat, and I’m smilin’.
I may be hooked, but you know I’m feelin’ fine!

And I’m rockin’ the Mac again;
a-makin’ music with my friends.
I don’t want it to end!
Mornin’ time…
Evenin’ time…
After midnight, 
you know I’ll be there!

II
My mind is tuned in to the magic.
Music is the very best of highs!
I let those sweet, sweet sounds take me by the hand,
and lead me ‘cross this bridge of sighs!

Yeah, I’m rockin’ the Mac again;
a-makin’ music with my friends.
I don’t want it ever to end!
Mornin’ time…
Evenin’ time…
After midnight, 
you know I’ll be there!

Chorus:
Come on now… join the party;
here where your soul you’re free to bare!
—a place to laugh, to sing, to share.
Mornin’ time…
Evenin’ time…
After midnight, 
you know I’ll be there!

Alright!

2nd Chorus
Come on friend… join the party;
here where your soul you’re free to bare!
—a place to laugh, to sing, to share.
Mornin’ time…
Evenin’ time…
After midnight, 
you know we’ll be there!

III
Some folks say it’s all a waste of time,
and we be jammin’ our lives away;
but I give thanks for the privilege.
Let’s raise our voices to the day!

Yeah, we’ll be rockin’ the Mac again,
a-makin’ music with our friends.
We don’t want it to end.
No! No!
Mornin’ time…
Evenin’ time…
After midnight, 
you know we’ll be there!

Yeah!

Alright!

Love those 60's sounding guitars and those soli. Seems like rock fans have disappeared out of this website.

Great song Mike.  I missed the boat on MJ.  It must have been quite a place.

You may be right Thierry about the absence of rock fans. We've been overrun by jazz artists of late! Fortunately they are all quite talented!
Nevertheless, I will continue to carry the torch for good old rock music...
Thanks for listening my friend!

MJ was a great place for several years Matt. However, once fanatical political wrangling took over the Forums and Chats it began its downward spiral. I pray that never happens here!
Thanks for the nice comment.

Ahh... Seems like you tapped into the feeling I was trying to capture here Ray...
---the excitment we all felt when these sites first came online, and we were able
to start making music and friends together. What a RUSH it was!!! (Still CAN be
if we all want it bad enough...)

I'd forgotten about this one Mike.  Sounds like we were all enjoying ourselves for sure.  There's so much from the MacJams days that sounds even better with a simple re-master using tools that are currently available - and so much of it is really good as well.
I really miss MJ :(
