	ChelseaQ says: 7/10/2014 6:54:28 PM How did this go? I wouldn't mind setting something like this up where I am -heading towards Gisborne. Only thing is I can only play 5 tunes! Ha ha! But there's nothing like a regular jam session to push one's progress faster. I'm interested tonknow how many turned up to your session and what songs you played.
	hbj says: 7/11/2014 12:42:58 AM We've had 2 sessions so far and both have been great. 15+ people for each session with a nice variety of instruments & voices. Songs & tunes were all pretty much from the standard bluegrass repertoire. We've got our next session this weekend...
	ChelseaQ says: 7/12/2014 12:14:06 AM 15+ people is great! What would you say the most popular songs are? Maybe if I learn some of those, I'll be able to play with others faster!
	hbj says: 7/12/2014 5:49:52 PM All depends on who is around as to what gets played...But here are some common ones: Bury Me Beneath The Willow I'll Fly Away Blue Moon of Kentucky Fireball Mail Cripple Creek Blackberry Blossom Cherokee Shuffle Red Haired Boy Liberty Soldier's Joy Salty Dog In The Pines Pig in a Pen Little Girl In Tennessee Old Joe Clark Salt Creek Gold Rush Bill Cheatham Whiskey Before Breakfast Clinch Mountain Backstep Big Sciota Big Sandy River In The Gravel Yard How Mountain Girls Can Love Mountain Dew John Hardy Little Maggie My Cabin in Caroline
	ChelseaQ says: 7/17/2014 5:15:23 AM Thanks heaps! This is really great. I'll work my way through these and, it should keep me busy for the rest of the year :-) I appreciate the time you took to make this list. Cheers.
	StanR says: 3/5/2020 5:52:11 PM My understanding is that the group now meets at Tuckerberry Hill, 31 Becks Rd, Drysdale VIC on the first Sunday of each month. Visit facebook.com/pg/bluegrasspickerscollective for full details.
