Wednesday Afternoon Jam Session

Category: Other

Title

Wednesday Afternoon Jam Session

Description

Each week, aspiring musicians gather to sing, play guitars, banjos, mandolins, slide guitars & other instruments, passing the microphone to entertain, share talents & learn new licks. Jammers donate coffee & snacks & do a pass-the-hat to contribute to the Center.

Target Audience

Musicians, aspiring musicians & singers, folks who enjoy country & gospel type music

Organizations

 

Budget

Coffee supplies (creamer, cups, sugar, stirrers)

Impact

People come as far as 45 miles to participate each week. Several people bring handicapped friends/relatives to enjoy the music & companionship. Many friendships have been made & much talent unveiled in this successful weekly program activity.

Problems

Difficult to have any other activities during the Jam Session. Small dilemma of storing the amplifiers & mic stands between sessions, but alleviates seniors lugging heavy equipment each week.
