Folk, country, blues and rock also ensued. It’s hard to believe the level of songwriting and performance talent that shows up at these jams. This area is a hot-bed for poets with acoustic guitars.
As usual, there was an amazing pot-luck dinner served. Pulled pork, BBQ sausage, BBQ beef, venison chili, salads, deserts. Plenty for everybody, and all delicious.
