This is our second jam, and again 3 pickers and about 5 spectators, but we had a great time! Thank you David Cox and Greg Stritch for jamming with me. And also for the other participants who sang along. Greg is a fellow luthier (builder of stringed instruments), so I especially enjoyed talking about building instruments and hearing about his run ins with well known bluegrass musicians (like Steve Kaufman and Sam Bush among others).
Not a big turnout, but am very happy to be doing this and I think it will eventually catch on. Like Ron says, “It’s not my jam – it’s God’s jam. I do the inviting and leave the rest to God.”
Thank you again for everyone that did come to the jam! Praise God!

October 16, 2017 at 10:55 pmReally enjoyed the fellowship and music. I wonder if it’s possible to have more tunes that are more widely heard, I noticed we all really got into it with the more familiar songs. Thanks for doing this! I hope it does catch on, would be so much fun with lots of pickers and singers.
