Summer Vacation at the Junction in Port Angeles

So, we sat around after the jam/open mike and played more songs, drank a little more beer, and told some stories. Once again a good mix of regulars, local musicians and people on vacation filled the Junction in Port Angeles, and everyone seemed to have lots of fun. Rudy, a relative newcomer and transplant from Oakland, California, played terrific bass, and Bill Harper, longtime Port Angeles musician, found his way to the jam for the first time and promised to return. Many thanks to Bill Tiderman for helping host again and to Cindy who appropriately wore her "police" baseball cap.
With all the recent good weather and wealth of music and musicians and audiences, one is reminded why people like to visit our Olympic Peninsula. Well, at least those are some of the reasons!
Guitar Instruction Tip #10: When you're having trouble playing a familiar melody, try singing it first. Sometimes that will help make sense of the phrasing and rhythm.
