About the event

Sunday Slow Jam at Meadowthorpe Presbyterian Church
Fourteen eager slow jammers gathered at Meadowthorpe Presbyterian Church on November 30. We hopped back and forth a bit in keys as we went around the circle today. Atticus started by leading Over the Waterfall in D which was then followed by Soldier’s Joy and Whiskey Before Breakfast. We moved briefly to the key of A minor with Cold Frosty Morning before returning to D with Liberty, Duck River, and Arkansas Traveler. Moving into G we started with Westphalia Waltz. Paul shared a lovely recording of Salt Spring performed by Benny Bleu which we subsequently played around with. We continued with Possum up a Gum Stump, Wink the Other Eye, Shove that Pig’s Foot a Little Further into the Fire, and Ookpik Waltz. We moved back into D with Lazy John. Maria shared In the Bleak Midwinter which she recently learned on her dulcimer. Keith and Dandelion provided a Fiddlesticks demonstration which was fun. We played Angeline the Baker in D, What a Friend We Have in Jesus in G, and Tombigbee Waltz. Keith played and sang Reuben’s Train in G.

We encourage everyone to come to the jam with something they are working on to share with the group.

This weekly jam is meant to bring beginners and experienced musicians together. Consider joining the roster of mentors who will help host some of the sessions. Or think about switching from your dominant instrument (or dominant hand!). This is a wonderful opportunity to slow down and focus on technique, to ask questions, and to share tips with new players.

This is an all acoustic, all ages, and all levels SLOWish JAM to play traditional Old-Time music in 3/4 and 4/4 time. No percussion or bass please, unless you are able to keep a VERY steady rhythm (acoustic/U-basses may be amplified).
