Hi everyone,
It turns out that Adam is now available to lead the jam tomorrow evening, so the jam is no longer cancelled, but there will be no 'song of the week' for it.

Last week's song of the week was 'This Little Light Of Mine' in the key of A, and the song of the week for next week's jam will be 'Will You Be Loving Another Man' in the key of G.

Happy Pickin',

Jason
