Thanks! My thought process was that posting these would help me learn it. It was a good idea. I just don't set up the camera and do it very often. Sometimes it's not that great. But, I just belt it out anyway! It gives me great joy to play and sing. So I just let er rip. Ha!

First time that Jeremiah Barr played in our jam. He performs locally and brought a laptop full of songs with him. Fun time!

Come over some Wednesday!

It was a pleasure for him to stop by.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much!

Something to remember the festivals and conventions, until next year! I so enjoyed picking with you all!

These guys did a great job on this tune!

Thanks we had a little girl around 3 or 4. She was twirling,smiling and holding moms hand. Made our lunchtime jam awesome.

That’s a clever quick way to arrange songs for more guitars, do you know much about arranging songs when you have too many guitarists?

Sounds like fun! Most of these songs are new to everyone except the one whose turn it is to select the songs. I am usually listening for the chord changes. Do you have a good lesson about song arrangements. We always have lots of guitars. I’ll just play some inversions up the neck as an experiment. Just to see if I can make it sound interesting. This primarily a bluegrass jam. I need to learn some country licks. 😆

I just had to post it!

Yes! Y'all is perfect. We laugh about our hillbilly, piedmont NC, South Boston and middle North Carolina / Virginia accents. The language varies a lot. For example, for my people there is no lunch. The meals are breakfast, dinner and supper. Dinner is the midday meal. Lunch is rarely used. The accent and word usage varies like this throughout the local states like Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and the Carolinas. Glad to have you on board. Most of my stuff is from local pickers that just love the music.

I was a little worried about giving a behind the scenes view of the process. It is very fun to watch you and Loyd work up the harmonies!

It was great to get to pick with Libby and Loyd! Libby won 2nd place in guitar that year. She won 4th this year. I can only dream of one day placing at Galax. She and Loyd both help me a great deal! www.youtube.com/@LibbysBluegrassVideos

Yes indeed!

Blessed to be in foothills of the blue ridge mountains. The music lives on!

We just started trying songs that we knew a few words. Getting close to 1am. What a great time!

I'm glad. It sure does bring us joy!

What fun we had! Thank you so much Stan for capturing this! Fun Karen

@@funkaren I got some interesting stuff decked up! I hope you like it!

We’re mostly Southwest Virginia and Northwest North Carolina folk. The music in these mountains and foothills is magical. We rarely venture out west. Some of the mountain folks that tour out there would be Shadow Grass, Dan Tyminski’s (band members), East Nash Grass and others. Lots of the professionals come from this area of the country.

We do enjoy it! We gather once a week.

Yes, a good banjo player. They had a great band name "Old and in the Way".

As we say in the hills " it was a hoot"

We are blessed. This jam is led by Ralph McGee of the very talented McGee family. His brother Rex McGee, nephew Gus, niece Whitley and all their friends attend. With that kind of talent the jam usually draws a crowd. This night was special because it was Ralph's birthday.

😃

Yes it is!

I usually release a new video each day at 8am. I am a bit behind because of "The 88th Annual Old Fiddlers Convention" in Galax Virginia.

Thanks!

You are very kind.

Some real talent in our town

Music adds a lot to life. Great memory!

Yes I agree. I hope some we rub off on me as I hang out with these folks.

This was a huge jam with lots of talent 😊

Yes! I just met Nancy Lynn Green during this jam. She’s awesome. Thanks for listening!

Yes, I agree she is an awesome singer! I'll post more.

Thanks for listening! We don't name em, we just play em! 😇

Thanks for the encouragement!
