Jammin'



I went last night into Grants Pass with a friend to participate in an acoustic jam held at a local grange not far from where I used to live. There are three or four "professional" musicians who give their time and lead people through a great assortment of mostly bluegrass and folk songs. As you can see, people show up just to learn and have a great time.

Everybody who wants to can get up and lead a song in the key of their choosing and everybody figures out as best they can how to play along...

There were ukes there, guitars, banjos, an auto-harp, some mandolins, stand up bass, and a "Bazooky" or whatever it's called, and lots of fretting fingers...

What a great way to spend a thursday evening...

Bluegrass is not my cup of tea but it would be a lot of fun to participate - learn how to play nice with others.
