August Acoustic Jam

The August acoustic jam meetup was yesterday. The previous meetup was in early June - no July session was scheduled due to hot weather (we meet in a non-air conditioned Quaker meetinghouse), and the August session was scheduled for the end of the month for the same reason.

It was a full house of 15 people, plus a lengthy waiting list. Word must be spreading that it's a good time with good people. The songs we played, as best I can remember, are below.

A good number of folks had been at the folk fest last weekend, and we chatted about our experiences there. In honor of the folk fest, I brought Little Feat's "Willin'", which was well-received. The other "topical" song was Don's selection of "Mr. Spaceman", in honor of Neil Armstrong's passing the day before.
