Well, after wintering Down Under we are back home in North America. A friend of mine and I are hosting a bluegrass jam in May and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been trying to get him to host a monthly jam but he won’t commit…so imagine my surprise when another friend announced a twice-monthly bluegrass jam right here in Appleton, Wisconsin! Tonight’s the “inaugural event” and it looks like about 18 people have signed up (at least on Facebook) so it should be a good crowd. Most of us can use the Nashville Numbering System and recognize guitar chord shapes but in case some can’t I’ve printed out a couple songs I want to try; one is “There Is A Time” (Amin, C, F, G more or less) and “When It’s Gone” (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) in C with a change to D. Both of these are fun tunes and our little jam group has never done them…they tend to be stuck in a book used in a well-known “learn how to jam” course. Hmm, is it time to leave yet?
BONUS! Bi-Weekly Bluegrass Jam in My Area!
