Hi,
Here are some more songs to jam with. 

(I thought I had fixed the problem that many noticed in the videos I sent out last week, but unfortunately I didn't figure out how to fix the problem: so, once again, in these videos, it will look like I am playing left-handed, etc. My apologies for this flaw in the videos. I will continue to try to figure out how to fix this.)

Beginner Jam:
Handsome Molly - A
Cluck Old Hen - A
This Little Light Of Mine - B

Hi everyone,

Usually I end the jams for Summer the week before all the jams start up at Stickerville in Weiser the week before the National Old Time Fiddle Festival. But these events are not happening this year, and neither are many of the other annual Summer music events in which there is opportunity for jamming. So, over the Summer, I intend to continue making youtube videos, and sending out each week a new batch of songs to play along with. While some of you may be involved in small private outdoor jams over the Summer, others probably won't be, either due to lack of opportunity, or to not yet feeling comfortable with being around other people on account of the virus. So, for this reason also, I want to continue sending out beginner and intermediate jam videos over the Summer.

Keep safe and well.

Happy Pickin',
Jason

Hi everyone,
Oddly enough, a record that my grandmother had in her collection, that I have no idea what happened to, and that I haven't listened to in the past 30 years until buying last month on Discogs from a guy in Ontario, has been helping me and my family over the past 4 days in getting through the strange times we are living in. So, I can't help but share it with you. This has really brightened up our evenings.

From the Stompin' Tom Connors 'Souvenir' album
(25 songs, from the late 60's through the early 70's):
I hope you'll appreciate this, on one level or another, for what it is.

Canada from East to West: according to the man who smoked five and half packs a day.

To It And At It - sums up Eastern Canada (the Maritime Provinces and Quebec) pretty well I think: one of Renee's favourites on the album:

Sudbury Saturday Night - Ontario - one of my favourites
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl751CDdRZI  

Zakuska Polka - The Prairie Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) - a tip of the hat to the Ukrainians in Canada: the one-quarter of my family I am most connected with. I love this. We sent this song out to some of our friends on the day that Stompin' Tom passed away.

The Bridge Came Tumbling Down - BC - where I was born:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0cmVCu-cIo 

Stompin' Tom had some great tribute songs to Canadian music icons: 
The Don Messer Story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOiKVIydqXo 

Tribute To Wilf Carter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8ueXqj7hY0 
But, he made most of his money off some of his songs that were only more generally Canadian:

The Consumer: theme song from Marketplace: another one my favourites, and in the chorus it features his famous stompin' board:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnJ2HcKpIO4

The Hockey Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiTeNS7Ds3U 

...and finally, I include this one only because I performed live at a bluegrass festival a long time ago with the BC man (Keray Regan) who wrote the following song (one of the rare Stompin' Tom songs that Stompin' Tom didn't write himself): 

​Poor, Poor Farmer

Thanks for indulging me here on this.
All the best, my friends.

Keep safe and well.
