Jams

Jams are a chance to play through dance tunes many many times and practice at a little faster tempo than the teaching sessions.  We will put out a list of tunes that are likely to be played at the Jam if you want to practice up.  (Other tunes from this site might also be played as well)   Jams are for playing our common repertoire, not for playing that one hard tune that nobody knows.  Tunes will be played by ear at these jams, so no need to pack your music stands!

Here's what we played at Betsy's house on 2/8/2024
