Other steady pickers who contribute a lot of music each week or frequently, are: Big Ron Lewis, Warren Shelton, Big Ed Dance, Jim Woods, Ken Williams, Jeffrey Lewis, Alice Hensley, Gary Taylor, Roger Messer, Terry Tester, Gordon Hoyle, (Bill Fernald when in town), Junior and several others who I don't know their names.

Robert is a kind, sincere gentleman and we are all very touched by his generous spirit.

                                                                                                                                  Please make every effort you can to attend this function on Sunday afternoons from around 1:30 - 5:30. Your participation will ensure the jam's continuation. We've been experiencing dwindling numbers lately, which could potentially spell disaster for this jam. Hope to see you there.
