Hi everyone,
Janene is still quite sick, so there will be no beginner jam tomorrow. The next beginner jam will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 2nd.

Hi everyone,
Janene has a cough and sore throat, and won't be leading the beginner jam tonight. So, the jam is cancelled. The next beginner jam will be held next Tuesday, (the 19th), and the song of the week remains 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' in the key of C.

All the best,
Jason
