NELA you know your already welcome anytime! and if anyone on CHORDIE is traveling in this area on the third Saturday of the month (Except July) they are welcome. Just give me time to get you some directions.
It doesn't have to be Gospel but at least inspirational if that makes sense. One song I'll do from time to time is "The Wreck On The Highway". You won't see it in Hymnals but still is a witness to us.
The folks that I have coming are used to sitting in a circle and one starts off doing a song.Every one plays if they know it. The next one to the left is next. If he or she passes then it goes on around. Refreshments are there and you get up anytime you want to snack or take care of other business if you get my drift. AL

Re: Jam session happennigs (25 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Ok so I have been to two jams and now I am an expert! (NOT)!
But I have caught the bug. We have a building on our church property that was not being used in a while. It's about 65ft by 45ft with a kitchen area and two bathrooms. We cleaned it up and made it very presentable and having our first Bluegrass Gospel Jam this Saturday night. If it goes well I want to have one the third Saturday of each month except July when we have Homecoming.

Some one suggested in another post to choose the option on your printer "Print as Black Document" in case you are out of colored ink.

DS, don't know the song but if its in the key of C and it's got an F chord in it there should be a G in there somewhere. Could also be a Am, too. I looked but could not find the song w/ chords, anywhere.
Nela
Thanks NELA, I think I have it figured out. They played this at a jam I was at last Thursday night and I bet you have heard the old song but may not know the name. Anyway I can find out by making a phone call but I just like to use CHORDIE first. I think when played in the key of "C" it is C-F-C then it gets strange and goes to D-G- and back to C. AL

Looking for chords for The old banjo -fiddle tune "Down Yonder". I thought it would be easy to find but the one I find with chords is the wrong song. I start with C and then F and I can't figure out the rest. If someone could give me the other chords I can figure out where they go.Thanks in advance. AL

!st you take off all your cloths.
2nd get a big bottle of cooking oil.Wrong subject.
Just get a bunch of like minded folks together who likes music and take turns playing. Each one takes a turn at a song and the others just play along. After awhile everyone will kinda learn each others style, types of music, some will be good at lead, some will be good at rythym, sone will sing well, some won't but all will have a good time. Get a group together, plan getting together once a month or so and swap houses if everyone's comfortable with that. Plan to have snacks, drinks of your choice (but keep in within reason) and BE SURE TO HELP CLEAN UP AND PUT UP WHEN THE NIGHT IS OVER!

I was given the name by upperclassmen during my freshman year in high school 47 years ago and it stuck, to the point where even a lot of folks in my home town think my name is Ed. When I started whitewater kayaking 35 years ago it became my "river name" and became the name that most paddlers knew me by. I guess "Dirty Ed" is a lot easier to remember than Ken Willis.
