Kids’ Jam

We are still meeting at 10:00 to 11:30 on the second Saturday of every month at Benet Hill. We are now working on our second group of 12 tunes. Come to jam and get your new learning CD (tunes played slow and then up to speed) and copies of the music. We are really looking for youngsters between 4 and 12 who play any acoustic instrument. Bring a responsible adult and a few bucks for the jam jar. Any questions call Camilla at 488-9487.

Jam Notes

The new gospel jam we had in May was a tremendous success! I didn't get a count, but it was somewhere near the best attendance we've ever had at a Benet Hill jam! We'll do a gospel jam again on the 7th of August, so mark your calendars.

I just came back from the Colorado Roots Music Camp on the other side of Pikes Peak. I can't recommend it too highly! Our own Charlie Hall has set this camp up for the last three years and is doing a great job. I'll be glad to tell anyone coming to the jams all about it. So will Jan Sutherland, who was also there and has volunteered to lead the next Gospel jam.

Please bring several copies of any songs you'd like to try to any of the jams, and we'll play it with you. Also remember to feed the "Jam Jar" (no bill is too large) to help BRAS pay the Benet Hill rent.
