Hi everyone, The song of the week is 'Cherokee Shuffle' in the key of A. Recordings Country Gazette (Alan Munde on banjo) - starts at 7:30 https://youtu.be/1yIbt015Dc0?t=452 Gravel Road Bluegrass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRcn906A7iA&feature=youtu.be Josh Williams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOiMSTzwa28&feature=youtu.be Jam Videos Jason’s YouTube Links – Alphabetical Listing – Parisology (cyberplasm.com) Progression A-Part: 1 1 1 6m 4 1 5 1 B-Part 4 1 4 1 4 1 1 6m 4/5 1 In the key of A: 1=A, 4=D, 5=E, 6m=F#m In the key of G: 1=G, 4=C, 5=D, 6m=Em Attachments In addition to the melody sheets, I have included in the attachments a sheet of double endings that will work well for ending Cherokee Shuffle and most other key of A fiddle tunes. In the attachments, there are also two melody sheets written in banjo tab. The one with 'many notes' gives all the same notes that are on the melody sheets for fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, but the one with 'fewer notes' is the one that Scruggs-style banjo players will likely find more useful for the sake of putting together a Scruggs-style break for the tune, since it eliminates many of the less important melody notes in the tune. Song List 19 songs were played at last night's jam, 8 from the main list, 4 from the additional songs list, and 7 that are on neither list: All The Good Times Are Past And Gone - A Cherokee Shuffle - A Clinch Mountain Backstep - A Columbus Stockade Blues - Bb Down The Road - B Gathering Flowers From The Hillside - G Homestead On The Farm - A Will You Be Loving Another Man - A Bury Me Beneath The Willow - G Cryin' Holy - G Forked Deer - D Shortnin' Bread - G Good King Wenceslas - A Jingle Bells - G Joy To The World - G Silent Night - C Cripple Creek - A Foggy Mountain Breakdown - G Soldier's Joy - D Have a merry Christmas!

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, last night's jam had to be cancelled at the last minute, due to the unusual situation that neither of the two spaces we use for jamming at the Pioneer Building were available for us to use, and no one from the Pioneer Building informed me in advance that this would be the case. So, the song of the week remains 'Down The Road'. Category: Down The Road - Idaho Bluegrass Association I apologize for the disappointment, and will try to keep this on my radar for next year that there may be a Thursday in early December when neither of the two spaces are available for jamming. Jason Starting next week (12/7), these will replace the song lists that we used for the jam between September and November 2023.
Bluegrass Christmas At the jams held in the month of December, you are welcome to call Christmas/seasonal songs at the jam that you would like to play that you believe would be a good 'fit' for the level that the jam group is at. And you need not wait until the second half of the evening to call these. Of the many Christmas/seasonal songs that have been played in past years at the December through early January beginner jams, the ones that I think have worked the best are: Auld Lang Syne Away In A Manger Good King Wenceslas Jingle Bells Shepherds In The Field Silent Night Go Tell It On The Mountain Joy To The World Silver Bells In the attachments, I have included chord progressions for each of these 9 songs. Song of the week write-ups, complete with recordings and melody sheets, for Auld Lang Syne, Away In A Manger, Good King Wenceslas, and Silent Night can be found here: All of Jason's Songs - Idaho Bluegrass Association In addition to the jam videos available here Jason’s YouTube Links – Alphabetical Listing – Parisology (cyberplasm.com) for Away In A Manger, Good King Wenceslas, and Silent Night, I have also made a jam video that includes Jingle Bells, Shepherds In The Field, and Auld Lang Syne (Beginner Bluegrass Jam 12/12/2020 | Jam Along | Idaho Bluegrass Association | Jason Homey - YouTube), and a jam video that starts with Joy To The World Intermediate Bluegrass Jam 12/12/2020 | Jam Along | Idaho Bluegrass Association | Jason Homey - YouTube Finally, here is a live performance from the December 2019 IBA open mic of 6 Christmas/Seasonal songs (O Little Town Of Bethlehem, Away In A Manger, Good King Wenceslas, Silent Night, Shepherds In The Field, and Auld Lang Syne) Jason Homey and the Snake River Boys, IBA Open Mic, 12_16_19 - YouTube
