BTW, a lot of players arrive early on Thursday evening (March 12th) and jam the night away. I hope you can make it!
The headliners are always accessible to ask questions and to play along with during the jam sessions. Doug Puls andhis wife Rose Anne will also be there (from Coast-to-Coast Music). Doug is outstanding on both harp and guitar, and often provides the "glue" for the jams. I've already bought my ticket!
