Hey folks, tell us where you live

If it were not for this website, I would be missing out on the jams in my area. Yes, I added my location when I joined, and it was through the other contacts on the map that I found a jam close to home. There is nothing like being in a jam session with people who are encouraging to a beginner. I just do back-up, but I hope to some day be able to say, "OK," when it comes time for a banjo break. I am working on it. mj

A year ago last April I tried to organize a jam here in chanute,Ks. for the lack interest I quit sponsoring . I would like to find some jams here in southeast ks. I play bass and for something else to do with my time I play rhythm. I am a serious player.

I agree. If you wish to play with others, you should put yourself on the map. I also am fairly new to the 5 string banjo, and have met Sterling grass in person. We met as a result of this website, and so far had an afternoon of picking together that I found most enjoyable. I have tried to get together with Sterling and a few friends that pick near here a few time recently, but so far have had something like bad wether or work interfere with those efforts. I am sure we will do so very soon though, Tom Brien

This site has introduced me to where the jams are in my area. Yes I am on the "Olathe map". It was easy to change my former location.

We just lost a great one at Mountain Music in Shawnee, Kansas.

As a new ukulele player I was glad to see there the KC Ukesters found a home at the St. Pius Church..55 and Woodson in Mission.

It is interesting starting over on a new instrument. Boy were my fingers tingling for a while. Folks were patient with me and guided me to replace my beginner ukes strings to Aquilla.

After playing a whole month...I have added playing my harmonica..though I have not played them both at the same time during a jam (yet)

Hey Tom,

Hey Bill, Thank you kindly for your invitation. I will take you up on it if I get down that way anytime soon. Right now times have been tough for me ( and everybody else ), so I will have to keep it local. I do really appreciate being asked, Tom Brien
