Thread Name: Balboa Park Jam. Another one?
Subject: RE: Balboa Park Jam. Another one?
Yup, from "Wildwood Flower," to "Night Rider's Lament," from "Dead Dog Cider" to "I'll Fly Away," from "Lorena" to "Unreconstructed Rebel," from "City Of New Orleans" to "The Viagra Song (Hard Times Come Again Once More), and from from "Amazing Grace" to "Lay, Lady, Lay," we played and sang up a storm and sometimes drew an audience.

Weather was perfect by me -- cool enough to stay covered up from the UV rays most of the time, but warm enough for the fingers -- and no rain (which the morning clouds seemed to threaten us with).

In fine Mudcat tradition, Amos refused his wife's request for "Danny Boy," but she got right into the groove with the jammers, anyway. Even Amos and Daly's daughter, Ariel, joined us briefly from the Bay Area via cell phone, so she could hear the old man pickin' and singin' with the rest of us.

We jammed from a little after noon till about 4-ish, when finger blisters began to take their toll.

BTW, I had never been in that section of Balboa Park. It's abso-posi-lutely spectacular!

Gotta do these jams more often.
