SUMMARY:Bluegrass Tuesdays Jam at The Smoot Standard
DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass Tuesdays jams continue at The Smoot Standard and the patio at Naco Taco in Central Square in Cambridge\, but we are shifting the start times forward by a half-hour. Bluegrass Tuesdays regularly scheduled jams will now be meeting on the following schedule: \n6:15 pm – Beg-to-Int Bluegrass Jam (email tony…@gmail.com to join)\n7:30 pm – Kelley’s Intermediate Bluegrass Jam\n7:45 pm – Ed’s Slow-to-Medium Instrumental Jam\n8:00 pm – Wayne’s Intermediate-to-Advanced Bluegrass Jam \nThanks to Chris Parsons (chef/owner of Lily RIP’s)\, our jams now meet every Tuesday at these two restaurants (rain or shine). Naco Taco is owned by the same folks as Smoots and is another sister restaurant of Lily P’s. The Smoot Standard is located at 313 Mass. Ave. in Cambridge\, MA 02139\, while Naco Taco is at 297 Mass. Ave. Smoot’s kitchen will be open until 9 pm\, and drinks will be available late from JamBassador Jack. \nFood and drinks are available at both locations\, but I cannot stress this highly enough: DO NOT carry alcohol between the two restaurants. You can purchase alcoholic drinks at either location\, but you must finish your drinks there – you CANNOT carry them down the sidewalk between the restaurants. I’m asking everyone to please remind each other of this very important rule – thanks! \nAs a reminder\, we are still looking for the next home for Bluegrass Tuesdays\, and we need your help! Please visit www.BluegrassTuesdays.com for a complete description of the kinds of places we’re looking for. Suggestions have been coming in\, but we still need more\, thanks!\n\n\nTony\n\n\n

SUMMARY:OTAF Old Time Jam at Russell Field
DESCRIPTION:Old-Time Almost Fridays jams will be moving to the Russell Field Playground near Alewife in N. Cambridge. It’s less than a quarter-mile from the end of Route 2\, has ample parking\, and is less than a five-minute walk from the Alewife T Station. The schedule of the jams will remain similar: \n7:30 pm Beg/Int Old-Time Jam\n8:30 pm Int/Adv Old-Time Jam \nWeekly hosts will keep things moving along. \nHere’s what we’ve learned about jamming at the Russell Field Playground: \n(1) There are two parking lots on Rindge Ave. on either side of the little league park (Comeau Field): the lot with the cul-de-sac (to the west of the field) is usually full\, but there’s tons of space in the lot to the east of the ballpark\, which is the lot for the Francis J. McCrehan Swimming Pool at 359 Rindge Ave.\, in Cambridge\, MA 02140 (please note this is not the same location as Russell Field\, which is the football field next-door). \n(2) We often jam near the sprinkler spot (a.k.a. splash pad) near the yellow canopy\, which is between the pool\, the playground\, and the ball field. \n(3) There are working port-a-johns right there\, so everyone can have that true “festival experience”. \n(4) Please bring a folding chair (preferably without arms). \n(5) It’s not as well lit as some people might like\, so if you have a small camping lantern\, you might want to bring one. \n(6) Mosquitos were mostly not an issue\, but you still might want to bring bug spray or wear heavier clothes\, as long as it’s not too hot.

SUMMARY:OTAF Old Time Jam at Russell Field
DESCRIPTION:Old-Time Almost Fridays jams will be moving to the Russell Field Playground near Alewife in N. Cambridge. It’s less than a quarter-mile from the end of Route 2\, has ample parking\, and is less than a five-minute walk from the Alewife T Station. The schedule of the jams will remain similar: \n7:30 pm Beg/Int Old-Time Jam\n8:30 pm Int/Adv Old-Time Jam \nWeekly hosts will keep things moving along. \nHere’s what we’ve learned about jamming at the Russell Field Playground: \n(1) There are two parking lots on Rindge Ave. on either side of the little league park (Comeau Field): the lot with the cul-de-sac (to the west of the field) is usually full\, but there’s tons of space in the lot to the east of the ballpark\, which is the lot for the Francis J. McCrehan Swimming Pool at 359 Rindge Ave.\, in Cambridge\, MA 02140 (please note this is not the same location as Russell Field\, which is the football field next-door). \n(2) We often jam near the sprinkler spot (a.k.a. splash pad) near the yellow canopy\, which is between the pool\, the playground\, and the ball field. \n(3) There are working port-a-johns right there\, so everyone can have that true “festival experience”. \n(4) Please bring a folding chair (preferably without arms). \n(5) It’s not as well lit as some people might like\, so if you have a small camping lantern\, you might want to bring one. \n(6) Mosquitos were mostly not an issue\, but you still might want to bring bug spray or wear heavier clothes\, as long as it’s not too hot.

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Tuesdays Jam at The Smoot Standard
DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass Tuesdays jams continue at The Smoot Standard and the patio at Naco Taco in Central Square in Cambridge\, but we are shifting the start times forward by a half-hour. Bluegrass Tuesdays regularly scheduled jams will now be meeting on the following schedule: \n6:15 pm – Beg-to-Int Bluegrass Jam (email tony…@gmail.com to join)\n7:30 pm – Kelley’s Intermediate Bluegrass Jam\n7:45 pm – Ed’s Slow-to-Medium Instrumental Jam\n8:00 pm – Wayne’s Intermediate-to-Advanced Bluegrass Jam \nThanks to Chris Parsons (chef/owner of Lily RIP’s)\, our jams now meet every Tuesday at these two restaurants (rain or shine). Naco Taco is owned by the same folks as Smoots and is another sister restaurant of Lily P’s. The Smoot Standard is located at 313 Mass. Ave. in Cambridge\, MA 02139\, while Naco Taco is at 297 Mass. Ave. Smoot’s kitchen will be open until 9 pm\, and drinks will be available late from JamBassador Jack. \nFood and drinks are available at both locations\, but I cannot stress this highly enough: DO NOT carry alcohol between the two restaurants. You can purchase alcoholic drinks at either location\, but you must finish your drinks there – you CANNOT carry them down the sidewalk between the restaurants. I’m asking everyone to please remind each other of this very important rule – thanks! \nAs a reminder\, we are still looking for the next home for Bluegrass Tuesdays\, and we need your help! Please visit www.BluegrassTuesdays.com for a complete description of the kinds of places we’re looking for. Suggestions have been coming in\, but we still need more\, thanks!\n\n\nTony\n\n\n
