It was a beautiful Monday night at the jam. Most of the usual suspects were present. There were a couple of new folks out as well! We missed Joe and Chris greatly! However, we had two players from Roanoke, and their wives sang beautifully. We also had a guest appearance from Wayne Eastridge on the dobro. It made for an interesting evening. We only had one banjo player, and three basses at one point. Only two played at a time, but there was certainly a bottom end to the sound. We also had two visitors from the UK. They indicated they had been in US before and heard some bluegrass on the radio. They decided to come back for a musical experience. They actually picked the jam as a place they wanted to come. They were impressed! (Think what it would have been like with Joe and Chris on site!)
Ralph says that the Mill is going to start staying open until 11pm. Some of us may need to get permission to stay out later! Either way it goes, the jam is still the mental health break that I need each week. If I have to miss, I feel it!
Hope to see EVERYONE back next week!!

No Chris. No Joe. No Casey. No George. No Uncle Mike, Susan, Asenath, etc.
Sounds like a jam train wreck.
No problem!
Somehow, as Wayne pointed out, we muddled through beautifully. Lots of singing. Sloan on the fiddle, Wayne on mando, Doug on bass. Tim started a late-blooming jam outside. Scott Fore made a token appearance (as a fan). The place was packed, the English folks were lovely and it was Lucy's 1st birthday. A memorable night.
See everybody next week.
I was beachin' it up in Joisey! Nice water, great weather, no musical instruments. I was jonesin' actually.
Happy Birthday to Miss Lucy!
What's her favorite song?
