Bluegrass Jams
Jams are the best part
of bluegrass music! How often do you hear of classical music jams or,
rap jams, or say, polka jams? Not very often. How many music forms are
there that a lot of the fans, are also particiating in the making the
music? So we feel jams are very important to the cultivation and spreading
of the music to the young and old alike.
If you know of an jam
that takes place in Indiana, please let us know and help to share the
music!
