Notes
Park Slope Bluegrass & Old-Time Jamboree
The 12th Park Slope Bluegrass & Old-Time Jamboree was a big old time. Great turnout, despite the dreary, drizzly weather. Workshops were well-attended, the jams were diverse, the slow jam (now in its second year) was excellent, the evening concerts were superb, with a standing ovation for White Mountain Bluegrass (from... NH), and Alan Jabbour and Bill Christophersen twin fiddling Sally Ann Johnson. Too many highlights to write here. If you weren't there, go to http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id

Peter Matthews' blog about last year's Jamboree, excerpted with permission:
"I don't know exactly when or how my 20-square-block area
of Brooklyn became a destination for American roots music, but it's a treat be taken on a musical journey without even having to leave the neighborhood. This past Saturday, the 11th Annual... Park Slope Bluegrass and Old-Time Jamboree took up residence at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture with an all-day series of workshops and films, followed by nearly five hours of live concerts. A crowd of 100 or so jammed into a 19th century parlor on Prospect Park West to hear acts from both near (NYC's Bust Down, Lightning in the East) and far (New Hampshire's American Flyer, Virgina's David & Linda Lay). Most folks knew the words to every song; a few danced in the aisle. It was enough to make one wish for the Saturday night socials of our parents and grandparents. (Read more at:
