It has not been confirmed yet, but the tentative plan is for the weekly Intermediate Bluegrass Jam to resume on Wednesday, Sept. 8 from 6:30 - 9pm, with the new location being the Ironwood Social. Due to changes in my family situation and in my work schedule, it will probably be awhile until I can commit to leading the intermediate jam every week. For now, my plan is to be at the intermediate jam at least once a month to lead it when it resumes in September.

This week, I'm back on mandolin for the video jams.

Beginner Jam:
Mama Don't Allow - A (114)
Soldier's Joy - D (120)
Gathering Flowers From The Hillside - G (110)

I intend on resuming hosting public jams in the Pioneer Building in September.
The beginner jams will be held on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 9 (starting on Sept. 13, the Monday after Labor Day). Monday is the only weekday that our usual jam space will be available to us, unless something changes in the meantime.

I'm on banjo this week. 

I hope you'll enjoy playing these songs. (In previous video jams, these songs were recorded on guitar and mandolin, and for this week's beginner video jam I have increased the tempos of the songs from that which I previously recorded them at on the other instruments.)

Beginner Jam:
Cripple Creek - A (120 bpm)
All The Good Times Are Past And Gone - A (3/4 time: 180 bpm)
Foggy Mountain Top - G (116)
