Attended a jam this weekend

My wife and I are in the process moving to Tyler, TX (well she is already moved and I’m still in Monroe, LA on weekdays until the end of the month for work stuff). Anyway, this weekend we went over to Kilgore for the monthly music jam at the Kilgore Mercantile. I brought the guitar since I’ve been working on the most right now and my mandolin is probably rusty. I have to admit there were time playing rhythm that I missed the mandolin, especially when we play in the key of “C” and I needed a quick F chord.

My wife Robin said next time she’s bringing an instrument. I didn’t take lead on anything but now that I’ve been once, I will feel a little more comfortable when the lead circles around to me. We had a nice evening of music, which is my goat in learning.

Sounds like ya’ll had a great time. I especially liked the part about your wife already moved to Texas because mine moved there yesterday also, after surfing on zillow! Lol.

Excellent! Good job, that sounds great! Very cool that you are moving to Kilgore. You already know a few folks there :+1::smiley:

Well, we will be in Tyler but it’s close to Kilgore. My daughter/son-in-law live in Tyler. My wife has wanted to moved for years and years, then a grandchild appears in Tyler and she finally talks me into moving :slight_smile:

Thanks @BanjoBen. I would not have experienced any type of music sharing if it wasn’t for your teaching!

She was looking on zillow at a place in El paso I think it was. But it’ll never happen. :confused:
