Bluegrass Jam
Fandango Pizza
Palo Alto, CA
In attendence:
3 banjo (Robert, Bob, Jerry)

Cherokee Shuffle
Blue Ridge Cabin Home
Earl's Breakdown

Small group, but good jamming nonetheless. We got a pretty late start (~8:30pm). Boy, Fandango's sure closes up early in the winter!

Jam Report: Wednesday, 01/14/2009 Lintpicker's Revenge
Another lovely winter Wednesday at Fandango.
Vibe summary (my own): "To hell with mandolins! We'll just add more (banjo/guitar)!"
In attendance:
Mike B (Martin HD28-12 and banjo)
George B (thrift store special fingerpicked)
Autumn, Bob, Robert, Jerry (banjo)
Yours truly (Michael Kelly Rose Trio guitar)
Zippy (fiddle)
Three 'new folks' or folks who were new to me:
A gentleman on fingerstyle folk guitar
Autumn's quiet guitar buddy, who sits outside the circle even after repeated pestering to join us. Don't be shy, now!
A woman on guitar, reportedly a jazz guitar teacher. She threatened to bring in her accordion next week. I think she thought we might have tried to run screaming, but we didn't.
Some tunes played (no particular order):
I'll Fly Away
Golden Slippers
Old Home Place (damn you, B7, damn you to hell!)
Hard Times Come Again No More
Teardrops in My Eyes
Old Cabin Home
Simple Life (ricky skaggs)
blackberry blossom (this one started out slow, and just ran away from us)
theme time
cherokee shuffle
sowing on the mountain, reaping in the bounty (a.p. carter by way of woody guthrie)
earl's breakdown (plus explanation of 'scruggs pegs')
old country church (?)
how mountain girls can love
denominational blues
Notes:
* Banjo Bob (as opposed to Banjo Robert) has a fancy new axe. Looked like mahogany back, with 'stealth' in mother of pearl on the front at the base. I allowed as to how there was never seen such a strange beast as a stealthy banjo. In any case, stealthy or not, it sounds real nice and bright.
* Jerry, Mike B, George B and I ended up in the laundromat after Fandango gave us the boot. I recall picking/singing a couple, but couldn't give you a list.
* coming up: Thursdays at 5th quarter! No rest for the wicked!

Bluegrass jam tonight
Bluegrass open jam at Fandango Pizza tonight from 7:30 to 9:30pm.
I'll post jam setlist (so to speak) when I get back.
EDIT: Here is the jam report. I think I forgot a couple of the ukulele tunes, but the rest is accurate.
