Comment by Poorness Studios on November 18, 2019 at 2:06pm: It was just the three performers on stage though. They didn't ask for audience volunteers. I sure as heck would've if they'd asked.

Comment by Uncle John on November 18, 2019 at 1:43pm: Sounds like what we call a circle jam. I am betting you took your turn and played.

Comment by Poorness Studios on November 18, 2019 at 12:29pm: No open mic but they did a song swap kind of a thing for the first few hours. One musician would play a song, then the next, then the next... sometimes they'd jam a little.

Comment by Uncle John on November 18, 2019 at 4:00am: Poorness, was there an open mic? You should have got up there if there was.

Comment by Uncle John on November 18, 2019 at 3:51am: Yas, sir. I like the f hole model.

Comment by Poorness Studios on November 17, 2019 at 11:14am: I may do a blog post. I have some more photos to upload but it will take me a day or two to get all of them posted since CBN only lets you upload 10 per day.

Comment by 3 String Blues on November 17, 2019 at 8:10am: cool!...do a quick blog post and tell what you saw??? how many folks were there???
