There's nothing more fun than getting into a jam with a bunch of trapezoids! In between
Ken Kolodner's instruction and M.J.'s food there was plenty of time to play music with friends at the
Sandbridge Dulcimer Workshop last week. It was great to have a variety of instruments to enhance the experience ... guitar, mando, banjo, fiddle, piano, a shaker or two. Over a crabby dinner at Margie and Ray's last Friday night a group of us at the end of the table brainstormed our favorite jammin' tunes. As one might expect, there's some overlap with the list I generated myself and posted last March, "
Today's Top 20 Favorite Jam Tunes." Looking to enhance your own play list? These tunes are hard to beat!

Sigh....I have a lot of tunes to learn before the next jam, obviously. (break out the bodhran and shakers!!)
ReplyDeleteSo many tunes ... so little time. Hey, the bodhran and shakers add a lot to the jam!
DeleteBoatman! I picked it up by listening to Ken and Brad's new cd- and it's incredibly fun to jam on the banjo- especially with Ken on fiddle, Pete on mandolin, and Jay on guitar!
ReplyDeleteThat's a new one to me. Just starting to get into my head!
DeleteLove the choices! Makes me want to play them all!!
