There will be a slow old-time jam every Sunday evening at the Leach home in Centralia. We won't meet when there is a schedule conflict, such as when John Flory has his monthly Sunday jam.  We'll take two tunes and play the heck out of them at a slower than normal tempo until everyone gets 'em.  And then take the tunes from the previous session and play the heck out of them too.  After awhile, we'll slowly crank up the tempo until we're playin' 'em all up to speed!  Tunes will start @ 6:30pm. We'll play until about 9:30 or so.  Check back here for news flashes and to see what tunes have been played.  The first slow jam will be on Sunday, Oct. 24, 2004. All you'll need to bring is your instrument(s).  Chips and salsa will be provided as will the finest of box wines.  Any questions? Email me or give me a call at 360-807-8461. For our first meeting on the 24th, I suggest two tunes in the key of D, Jackie Wilson and Big Liza Jane (yes, it's different than the one in A) General Info There is a First Monday monthly jam at the Neatherlin Family home in Olympia. The Neatherlin's phone number is: (360) 956-9924. Click HERE to contact Erik or Emily. John Flory has scheduled monthly jams that generally happen about 2 weeks after the 1st Monday jam.  He takes the summer off and resumes in the fall. Email him to get on his mailing list, or for more info, call him at 360-352-3170. John also sends out emails concerning other old-time happenings in the area so get your name on his list!.
