Virtual Santa Fe Basque Jam on Zoom, Fridays. $5 |
Missing those tunes? Missing those friends? We can't meet at the usual Wedenseday, Fresno Folklore Society jam, honoring Kenny Hall, but we can Zoom. Perhaps you have a student or friend who would enjoy this. Below are some of the regularly requested tunes at those sessions.
Kenny sang Carter Family, Charlie Poole and broad range of great oldtime
songs and tunes. He also played songs from many other countries. We use
Vykki Mende Gray's great book of Kenny Hall music as well as other song
sheets I have written out of Kenny's Music
Evo Bluestein facilitates a Zoom music jam using tunes and songs from the
repertoire of the late Kenny Hall. If you have Kenny’s book, get it out. I
will ‘screen share’ too. Don’t have it? Get it on Amazon
<https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kenny+hall+mandolin+book&ref=nb_sb_noss>.
Sliding scale: $5-$20 per person

About Zoom Events with Evo
I will host a Zoom jamon Fridays from 5:30 until Zoom kicks me off. Your mute button will be pressed so you can only hear me–sorry, that's the only way it works, at least you can see each other. I can have the song sheets on Screen Share for some of these tunes, to make it easier to play chords and sing songs (indicate if you want that when you reply). You may play whatever instrument you wish or just sing. Sign-up and send me other favs for consideration–no guarantees. (I have to be able to lead it).
Here are some tunes from previous Virtual Jams!
N. Sanger Blues
Steph's Reel
Redwing
Soldier's Joy
St. Anne's Reel
Will the Circle Be Unbroken
Guinness on a Saucer
Whiskey Before Breakfast
No. 11 on the Jukebox
Columbus Stockade Blues
Policeman
Peeler Creek Waltz/ Peeler's Jacket
Brazilian Tune
I don't have everyone's email so please feel free to share
