all things jamming

This forum is for discussion of general jam topics which are not location specific. What's the most interesting jam you've been to lately? What sorts of styles do you like to play? It's all fair game in here.

I've searched all over the internet and can't find a regular jam session in Branson that seem to be open to all musicians. I've learned so much from jamming and would like to have a session or 2 while on vacation. Can anyone help? I especially like old (Stephen Foster) music. Thanks for the info. :)

A "heads up" on the 2012 Julian Family Fiddle* Camp (http://www.familyfiddlecamp.com). Stellar instructors this year include Canada's fiddle guru, Calvin Vollrath, California "Mando Monsters" Evan Marshall and Scott Gates, with National Flatpick Champion, Tyler Grant, and Texas-swing guitar mavin, Jonathan Trawick, covering all-things-guitar. Best to check out the video about the camp (http://www.youtube.com/embed/Sktj5QgUHJM), and call/send e-mail if you've questions. Camp/class size is limited.

*FIDDLE. Not just an instrument. IT'S AN ATTITUDE!

It is a pleasure meeting and playing with musicians around the Kansas City area. Thanks for helping me become a better listener and musician.

This Saturday, I am teaming up with a couple of talented people at the Great Day Cafe in downtown Overland Park, Kansas.

My wife describes shows at the Cafe as relaxed and being played to while sitting in our living room. Hope to see some of you for this whimsical/musical night.

Anyone know if there is a Rocky Branch Jam tonight, Dec.23? I have out-of-state guests who want to see a "slice of the culture".

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

I went a few weeks ago. Great food, people and music.

That night seemed to focus on folks presenting original material.

I had not seen so many auto harps played in one place. That was a nice surprise for this harmonica/uke player.

There is another one the day after Thanksgiving.

It starts at 7 ends 9 P.M. ish.

I just joined..I play electric bass and some keyboard and 6 string guitar..I have been playing since the 1970's..I play blues, jazz, country and am trying to learn bluegrass since I moved to West Virginia..I am living about 40 miles north of Charleston. If anyone is interested in a jam, I am ready..I live on a farm, so the volume is not a concern..my sunroom has a wood stove for those cool winter jams. E-mail if you are in the area.

Am unable to post any jam for London, England as the system asks for State/Province within the United Kingdom. It does not accept Greater London nor England. Is there any way around this? Please help.

Thanks,

Patrick.

Beginner just looking to leanr and play.

Just picked up the 5 string banjo as of a few days ago. Interested in old time clawhammer style playing. I'm a former bar band bass player who has retired. Started playing tenor uke about a year ago. Also Ubass, (bass uke)concert banjo uke. Not great but can play ok. Now I want to add the 5 string banjo in and was wondering if anyone around here teaches or if there are any oldtime (not bluegrass) groups that meet up in the area. Since I'm a beginner they would have to allow me to come in and observe and learn with out expecting me to be Grandpa Jones. HEE HEE.
