The 3rd Tuesday Beginner’s Bluegrass Jam, sponsored by SWBMAI  and hosted by yours truly will be held this Tuesday evening, March 16, 2010, at the Up North Bar at 514 E. Wilson St. I’ll be there by 7:30 P.M., and we’ll start the jam by 8:00 P.M.

This week I’ve been trying to drum up requests and suggestions — and as an inducement, what a deal I’m offering! Here it is: If you send me a suggestion for a tune, I’ll create a chord and lyrics chart for it and post it at http://webpages.charter.net/dnance/songs/

Some suggestions have rolled in already (thanks) and here they are, with one of my own:

Whisky In The Jar – 4/4 time, Key of G — chords: G Em C D

Gotta Travel On – 4/4 time, Key of D — chords: D D7 G A

The Train Carryin’ Jimmie Rodgers Home – 3/4 time, Key of G — chords: G G7 Em A D D7

Can’t You Hear Me Callin’ — 4/4 time, Key of A — chords: A D E

Send any suggestions or requests, or bring ‘em Tuesday night!

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
