Jam News for Chris

Chris will be reading this from La Manzana Grande -- NYC -- having arrived a day too late to attend the last game at Yankee Stadium.

Good crowd Monday night. Fiery picking stoked with a variety of tuneage. Let's see, going 'round the circle we had Wayne, Doug D., Kendall, Richard, Joe, Frank, Mary, Jeff W., Nancy, Jasonalex, Doug C. and moi. We were joined by a new fiddler, whose name I didn't catch, a new neighbor of George Smith. He led us down the old-time path with some nice versions of Ragtime Annie, St. Anne's Reel and Liberty.

Brian and Bill showed up later -- after the crowd had thinned out a bit -- and a very nice pickin' party broke out. Roxanna Waltz, Kiss Me Waltz, Panhandle Rag, Temperence Reel and Wheel Hoss were among the selections.

Good three days of music in Radford -- the Hillbilly Hot Club had a good crowd at Pascal's, the Side Door was its usual awesomeness, and the jam was a hi-quality affair.

See everybody next week!

Thanks for the news. I hate to miss it. Any outside jammin'? Slash and Co? I might try and catch the Mets game tonight an root for the Cubs.

No outside jam. Slash, Dale, Timmy and Scott Fore hung out and talked some, but no jam.

Need to add Dave Diesel to the group inside. He hung back with Frankie was catching on pretty good. He is a good singer and player, just gotta get him going on the bluegrass stuff.

Have fun in NYC. See ya next week.
