Bluegrass in the Blues
"Bluegrass in the Blues" is a very relaxed weekend of spontaneous acoustical bluegrass and Old Time jamming surrounded by some of the scenic Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. Dates will be Friday 7/30 - Sunday 8/1, 2010. It will be at the Fort Union Grange Hall, just SE of La Grande, Oregon. This location (new in 2009) proved to be the best of the four locations that this event has been held. The building has four separate rooms with doors where we can jam indoors regardless of any weather that may occur - day or night. A large yard has nice shade trees where we can camp and jam outside. There are great mountain views in all directions. Go to http://mysite.verizon.net/res8aypu/ for details including photos of the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 events. So many tunes and so little time!
