Hey, Guys been running with a bunch of fine gents up here in Maryland.
One of the lead singer has planned a Jam to help raise funds for the Fisher House.

Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful of times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

---Google it....

So if you don't mind spread the word..Hell I am also playing that day, all are invited

AL :D


If this is not the right spot...I know someone will tell me... Feel the love!!!

Awesome cause! wish the jam fest were close by :(

I’ll try and send a donation to the Fisher House later this week.

My sister and I grew up listening to hair raising - mesmerizing tunes sung to us by our Grandma from Clintwood Virginia - songs like pretty Polly, little Maggie, and the Village Church Yard. Our family on my fathers side is distantly related to Ralph and Carter (deceased) Stanley.

The Bluegrass fix is hard to kick after listening to it throughout childhood, hats off to you for having the ability to play :cool:

Ya’ll gonna play any of these :D
