November Acoustic Jam

This afternoon was our third straight monthly session of the Downingtown Area Acoustic Jam group that we found out about through meetup.com.

It's a good group of people, and we play good music, and it's a lot of fun. The group organizer limited the session to 15 people, and all slots were taken. Everyone sits in a big circle, and we go around selecting a song. You're supposed to bring sheet music (guitar tabs) for two new songs every session, but you can also pick a song from the group of standard songs from the group website.

Here are the songs we did this afternoon, as best I can remember, and in approximate order. The ones we chose are marked with asterisks.

  • Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)
  • If I Fell*** (Beatles)
  • Dublin in the Rare Auld Days (Peter St. James)
  • Hot Buttered Rum (Tommy Thompson)
  • Enjoy Yourself (traditional?)
  • Big Red Sun Blues (Lucinda Williams)
  • Paradise (John Prine)
  • Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer
  • Nights in White Satin (Moody Blues)
  • Wild Horses (Rolling Stones)
  • Wagon Wheel (Old Crow Medicine Show)
  • Moondance (Van Morrison)
  • Don't Think Twice It's Alright*** (Bob Dylan)
  • Star of the County Down (Irish traditional)
  • Hotel California (Eagles)
  • You Ain't Going Nowhere (Bob Dylan)
  • Lonely People (America)
  • Bad Moon Rising (CCR)
  • House of the Rising Sun (Animals)
