WAGS jam on March 16

It was a gas. We had keyboard, bass, banjo, and 5 guitars. The difference between a jam and what we do at our regular WAGS is that at a jam the emphasis is on everyone playing together. At a jam you don't do complicated songs or ones with too many verses. Like someone said, if you find yourself playing alone, stop, you're not jamming. It's really neat having a bass to hold it all together. We did a couple of 10 minute songs. We asked Eric Parrill to do a couple of banjo songs alone; nobody could keep up with him anyway, and he put on quite a show and jammed on every thing else we did.

Regular WAGS at the Pioneer Church on March 30, 7-9. On the 6th of April, our next WAGS date, we are planning a pot luck at 6 and jam till 9 at Pat Conrad's. Will let you know more about that later, like what what to bring for food so we all don't bring the same thing. I think we will be jamming at least once a week and I will let you know in case any of you want to come.

I'm forwarding info about concert at Pioneer church. (Andrew Emlen and friends doing a concert of Bach, Hayden and Debussy at the Pioneer Church, March 26, 7:30 p.m.; tickets $10 at the door)
