Hatfield at Ausgrass 2004 and time has not allowed us to
explore this valuable exercise untill now. To begin the session, a short explanation
of jam session etiquete,"How to join in a Jam

with a few simple fun tunes. There will be group leaders (experienced
players) for each instrument , (fiddle, banjo, mandolin,
guitar) and a bass player to keep the timing nice and
steady. For those who know all about Bluegrass

be appreciated in the following Blackboard Concert, so don't
go too far away, practise up on your tunes, you are on
next.
