I always dug this song. Why? It's totally depressing, of course!

Good jammin' tonight.

Radford Fiddle and Banjo Jam, tonight, 7 p.m.!
Been getting good crowds lately. S'posed to be chilly tonight ... so the time's right for a froo-frooey drink or hot chocolate.
We've added new tunes to the Monday nite repertoire, so come ready to get down at the hoedown.
We've even heard a rumor that Chris Bur-gurney will make his long-awaited return.

Love me some Vassar

Lonesome Fiddle Blues. A jam tune among jam tunes.

What a Jam!

Last night's efforts at the Mill were pretty darned good. Ralph, our fearless leader kept things moving as usual, and as always provided some right good fiddlin'. Joe, Jason, and Tim had the banjos rockin', and we had enough guitars to start up an instrument store. Brain came back and wowed us some more on the mando. I personally put mine away when he came in. Don't need to compete with that! It was absolutely great to have Doug back in the fold after a 2 week absence. Of everyone that comes, I think Doug is missed the most when he isn't there. That bass work keeps it all together! Speaking of missing, we all missed the fine playing and singing of Chris. Duty called and he answered. Just hope he is back next week.

Bill Adams made an appearance and provided his usual high quality of dobro work. With Asenath, Ralph, Dale, Brian, and that Wayne guy providing the vocals, it was a good time! We had a good turnout of listeners, with a good mix of regulars and several newcomers. As usual, the jam was the place to be in Radford on Monday night.

I won't be around next week. Got a conference in Newport News, and then a side trip to Myrtle Beach. I'll be back on the 5th for the jam, and will help Chris with Side Door #2 on the 10th. I hear there is such a desire by other talented folks to play that the JB's and the others will have to wait to take the stage in #3. That's cool! Gives us a good chance to work up some new stuff!
Asenath and I have already started!

Catch everyone on the 5th.....
