Sponsored by the Riverside Acoustic Strummers Society. Free.

We're on the move! Since the weather is getting colder, come to the Veterans Home directly across Monroe from Riverside Park. Same time and day: Sunday, SUNDAY!

Our first jam attracted eight players, and we couldn't stop at 4 pm. We played a variety of Beatles, Evart, and guitar music, both songs and tunes. Several vets hang out in the room with us, and they sometimes make requests (but we keep playing anyway -- har!!). Today we played "Off We Go" for an Air Force vet.

The bandshell is shown in this video. We've moved to the Veterans Home, and Larry will put up his JAM signs to lead the way. Park on the circle drive at the new Grotto park end. Look for a small blue sign that reads CHAPEL, and enter there. Turn left, and you're headed towards the Rankin Building.
