SEPTEMBER ACOUSTIC JAM SESSION IN LONG LAKE

On Sunday, September 10, 2 to 4pm. LL Acoustic Music Assoc will hold the monthly traditional music acoustic jam session. The owners of the Lakeside Knoshery have graciously granted permission for us to use their tent even though they will be closed for the season. The Knoshery is on the beach across Rte 30 from the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake.

In case of inclement weather or some other such ridiculous circumstance, the Jam will be moved to the Geiger Arena. This site is across the Rte 30 from the Long Lake Post Office.

Everyone is invited to join us in playing, singing or simply listening. Instruments typically used at these sessions are guitar, dobro, fiddle, dulcimer, mandolin, accordion, concertina, banjo, spoons and bass or anything else. Last month we had the privilege of having a person play the Irish (or uilleann) Pipes and Tin Whistle. The setting is very intimate and there will be no amplification.

Common music choices include Old Time, Country, Hillbilly, Celtic, Folk, Bluegrass, Cowboy, or anything anyone wants to play or sing.

Musicians take turns in picking their favorite music as we go around the group. It's best if the choices are commonly known so the lead instruments can take breaks but it doesn't always happen. How many tunes each will be able to pick depends on the size of the group. FMI email longlakejamsessions@gmail.com
