Roger Manning Jr, is known for his keyboard work with Jellyfish, Beck, Imperial Drag, and The Moog Cookbook. He has an amazing collection of vintage 60's and 70's synths, Moogs, and keyboards. I just about fell off my chair watching the various examples of "Jam" face, also known as "Rock" face....the expressions one makes while playing solos. Enjoy.
Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes those faces. Although I don't plan them out they were pretty close to the ones I'm told I make. Hilarious.
So Mark, what would you call your Jam face?
I'd say mine is "Intense Gas" face.
I think mine are all of the above. I could see myself doing all of them at one time or another.
