MARIN BLUEGRASS JAM

The Marin bluegrass jam has been running for almost five years now. On the first and third Thursdays of the month (as opposed to the former every-other-Thursday routine), there is pickin' at the Marin Lutheran Church at 649 Meadowsweet in Corte Madera, just off the Corte Madera exit of highway 101. The time is 7:30-10 PM. In August the date is the 19th. No alcohol is allowed, though you can bring soft drinks and snacks. A $1.00 donation per player will be solicited as minimal payment for use of the room. It is a big room, so there is also space for those who may want to come and listen. Directions lie below.

For pickers up Sebastopol way, there is bluegrass & acoustic music jam at the Coffee Catz, 6761 Sebastopol Avenue in Sebastopol from 2 to 5 PM, Saturdays. For info, go to the California Bluegrass Association web site.

As usual, no electric or percussive instruments please at the Marin jams.

Any questions, send an e to larryc@carltone.com.

Hope to see you at a jam sometime soon!
