Colleenj can correct me on this if I'm wrong. Right now, weare between spaces and don't have anywhere to hold a session. I imagine that it'll be late January...
Final verdict on jams: The Grand Opening/Open House/First Jam in the New Place will be Saturday, Jan. 26, Noon - 3pm. We want to pack the place, so bring your...
Hey all, My bluegrass band, The Grass Pack, is playing a show this Saturday that is going to be really fun. My good friend Abby (whom many of you have probably...
Hi, Thanks to everyone that helped with the painting. I'll be going in the next few days to do some touch ups on the paint job before the "Grand Opening" this...
I just wanted to thank Colleen, everyone on the board, and everyone that helped behind the scenes on making the new Folk School of St Louis a reality. I'm...
... Louis ... I agree Larry what a great place the new Folk School is. My thanks to everyone who made this possible. I sure had a good time at the Jam. To...
I've heard a rumor that Pete Seeger died yesterday, January 31. But none of the news organizations seem to have to story, at least not yet. If anyone hears...
Neither the NY Times or the AP are carrying the story, so it must not be true. Last I heard the old guy was in better health than he'd been in years. Sean R-B ...
... not be true. I don't quite see how that follows >:p But as it happens, it turns out that this originated with wikipedia, and the entry there has since been...
The Hot Baloney Boys (that's Folk School-ers Sean Ruprecht-Belt, Dan Higgins, and Colleen Williamson) play that old-time music from ten o'clock `til around...
The news that Pete had passed on threw me into a blind panic, and I'm very glad it's not true. I've seen Pete three times in concert, and he is one of my...
Pete is probably as responsible for my playing old-time and folk music as was hearing a Roscoe Holcomb record for the first time. So, there you go. You can...
Thanks to all who made the new site possible - the staff, board, volunteers and contributors. Great job - I look forward to many great classes and jams there -...
What Mac said, plus thanks yourself, Mac! It's a great slideshow. The link you posted is missing a letter, but I was able to figure it out. Here's a...
Mac, Thanks for putting this slide show together. Amy and I watched it several times this morning and had big smiles on our faces the whole time. Sean R-B Mac...
To all you non Super Bowl Partying peeps, Dave Landreth, Andy Gribble, and Myself (Steve Hall) will be playing for the Dance tonight, so get off and the Couch...
I had a great time at the jam last Saturday! The new set-up obviously has a lot of advantages. I especially like there being a kitchen! I think maybe I'll...
Colleen and I had talked about this as well. One thought was to designate a room as the slow jam location and to have a few more experienced players assigned...
Hi Uncle Dan'l, Maybe a slow thought, but a very good one, too. You were paying much more attention than I was, I guess. I just assumed anyone with an ...
I myself don't have any great craving for slow jams as a rule, though I think sometimes the discipline of holding the tempo down can be beneficial even for the...
This thread started because Dan noticed people who came to the jam with instruments, but never took them out of their case. They might be looking for a slow...
Good thought, Dale. We probably ought to keep in mind, too, that some folks who are new to their instrument or to the music are perfectly content to sit,...
Hi Guys, I am one of the newbies, and have felt welcome the few times I came to the jams, but was one that never played. It is a shy thing I supose. It is...
Hey, I was that person! :-) Give me a few more months, and I'll be happy to lead a slow jam. But I've just graduated from that myself, so need to gain a few...
I first started to visit the Folk School and then I started lessons soon after that I went to one of the Jams. The fast pace was very intimidating to me...
