A Bluegrass Jam Revised
I think there are just two types of Jams
The performance type is for the hams
The traditional type’s not the same
Just for each other, not for the fame
The performance Jam is my winner
Playing music to all the grinners
Probably why I started a band
Is for the thrill of getting a hand
I’ve been the host of two Jams for years
Had a few rules, but nothing to fear
Open to all, beginner or pro
Took turns doing the songs we know
Just acoustic instruments allowed
Strictly Bluegrass we played to a crowd
The jams that I host are all outside
If the weather’s bad, no place to hide
Banjos, guitars, fiddles, mandolins
Having several of these was no sin
The stand-up bass, you hurt without any
Got to have one, but two is too many
At jams you meet such interesting folks
Come for the music or for the jokes
Laughing and playing, have a good time
Hope to see you at a jam of mine
