OK... not sure why the links didn't show up.

Here they are as plain text:

Folks, here's a bluegrass event in the area next Saturday that I don't think has been widely advertised:




It's in Derwood, MD, up by Gaithersburg on Sept. 12, from 12 to 6. I haven't personally seen some of the other bands, but Danny Paisley and his band are well worth the admission price alone!

They advertise plenty of room for jamming. I called, and the park opens early in the morning so folks could show up at 9 or 10 and jam until the bands start. I'm trying to round up some of my picking buddies to do just that!

Tommorow evening - Fri. July 31 - is the monthly Round Hill jam - info at http://www.roundhillartscenter.org/events.html#bluegrass, video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf5CADcVYQI. Perhaps a bit too far to the west for some of you, but I hope to see you there if you can make it.

Come June I will be bouncing between Reisterstown and White Marsh. I'll be in Colorado until then.

Based in Baltimore city, commuting to DC, and taking kids to activities a couple of evenings each week, I try most days just to grab a few minutes to pick. I would like to supplement my sorta-regular Sunday morning jam with a couple of friends if I found or could help create a nearby opportunity.

I am moving back to MD the end of June and am wondering if there are any picks around the Baltimore area. I would love to get re-initiated to the scene and find some folks to pick and play with. Thanks for your ideas.

Hi folks, I'm over SE of DC in Owings, MD.

I was a regular participant at the Good Deale Bluegrass Shop jams (Deale, MD), but unfortunately the shop is no more. The Weds., Thurs., Fri., and Sat. jams there will be greatly missed.

Been getting together regularly at my place lately with a couple of fellow Orrin Star students and seeing noticeable improvement in my playing!
