Jam Cancelation Notice
No Second Jam at Baymont this week (Friday, 12/9/22)! SUGAR is playing at Dow Gardens that evening.
Join us for our Jam!
Bring your acoustic instrument and 5-6 paper copies of any songs you wish to share, because not everyone can play by ear, and this a jam rather than an open mic. 👌
The Smiling Faces of the 2022 Midland Folk Music Festival
From the recent 2022 Midland Folk Music Festival
Important Notice from Don Masselli
PLEASE READ THIS NOTE FROM DON MASSELLI: The Midland Folk Festival is always an intense mixture of social and musical experiences. When it ends, I go home with a general sense of being right with the world, tempered with days of sleep deprivation. After this festival, I came home with a bit more--Covid 19! Very special.
The reason I'm sharing this is to warn anyone who may have had contact with me about your risk of exposure. I am pretty I got it between Thursday afternoon and Friday evening and I did not experience symptoms until late Saturday evening. I don't know how viral transmission works or even if I could have passed it on during my initial exposure, but I want people who were around me to be aware that they too could have been exposed. Here's what I did Friday and Saturday, as I remember it:
My songwriter's workshop at 2:00 PM Friday.
Johnny's Beatles singalong Friday
Punch Drunk's 2 chord workshop Saturday
SUGAR pre-show Saturday
That's what I can remember, but there were shorter connections on both those days, too. If you were at any of those and you are feeling a little funny, you should get tested.
Sorry to bring down the level of enthusiasm for the festival, but I think people should be aware of the situation.
And, I'm doing OK so far, a couple more days without emptying the dishwasher and I'll be better.

Jam Suspension - Mt. Haley

Greetings, Fellow Jammers! A message from Johnny Hunt
Greetings, fellow jammers!
Johnny Hunt here with some ideas and plans how to make the 2nd Jams work more smoothly...
We are cleared for take-off at the Fashion Square Mall on the 4th Tuesdays of the month from 6-8pm, beginning this coming Tuesday, April 2th. If it works out and is well-attended enough, we can make it a monthly thing. Also, the Midland Mall 2nd Jam will meet on the 2nd Friday of each month from 6-8pm as long as it is well-attended.
I had good intentions of projecting all the songs with the words and the chords last time, but the screen I made wasn't adequate. I have a much better screen to bring along on the 26th, but I will need a couple of helpers to set it up around 5:30pm. Please let me know if you're able to help with this.
With a group of players having different talents and abilities and songs that they sing and play, it will be very helpful to have the lyrics and chords visible to all!
I would love to have you submit songs to me in either a .pdf or .jpg format so they can be included in the upcoming jam as well as subsequent jams! For the upcoming jam on the 26th, I will need to have them sent to me no later than Sunday, the 24th.
The requests that I have for the songs you wish to be included is that they fit on an 8 1/2 x 11 page in portrait mode, and that the chords be included in-line rather than above the lyrics just to save space. Here is an example of what I prefer for projectability and legibility...
I will send around a sheet at the jams for you to put your name and e-mail address, and that way I can send group e-mails out with any communications that would be helpful.
Thanks, peanutuke@gmail.com
