The 3rd Tuesday Beginner’s Bluegrass Jam, sponsored by SWBMAI (Southern Wisconsin Bluegrass Music Association), and hosted by yours truly, Dave Nance, will be held this Tuesday evening, November 17, 2009, at the Up North Bar at 514 E. Wilson St.

I’ll be there by 7:30 P.M.;  we’ll start the jam by 8.

Anybody have any ideas for songs they’d like to try out, work on, and/or play for fun this week? Here are mine, w. some links to versions on youtube to remind you how they go:

Blue Ridge Mountain Blues   4/4 time,  Key of G (G, C, D)
(here’s a nice rockin’ version by John Fogerty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHuBr8nGktk )

Cripple Creek    4/4 time,  Key of A (A, D, E)
(here’s Flatt & Scrugg’s version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4sqishGuYw )

Green Pastures   3/4 time,  Key of A (A, D, E) (we did it last month, but I like it a lot so I’m suggesting it again!)

I’ll Fly Away   4/4 time,  Key of G (G, C, D)

Reuben’s Train   4/4 time,  Key of D (D, A)

I hope you’ll each bring an idea for a song you’d like to try

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
