We had 37 at Jammers Saturday night which was really good for a holiday weekend. Several were visitors (8) with five of them planning to return and play with us in the future. One man plays the dobro, guitar, and mandolin; his wife plays the dulcimer. Another man plays the guitar. Two ladies came; they have dulcimers at home. One of them played the spoons and kept our beat. Both of them had a ball. June begins our 4th year; that's hard to believe. I remember our first meeting at the Grand Piano Shop.

"Melodious May" was a "blessing." We had 8 visitors; some plan to become regulars! The Jamming was fantastic; we jammed lots of tunes. John was in great voice; gospel requests were highlights; open mike "I'd Rather Have Jesus" on the violin took us to the throne of Heaven. We look forward to "Joyous June" our Happy Birthday #4.
"HI!
"The newsletter hit the airways before it was complete. Here's the "rest of the story." Choose 2 songs in DAD Dulcimer tuning and 2 songs in DGD Dulcimer tuning. (We can capo if that's your choice.)
"2+2=4 HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY Our candles are tunes!
"We'll divide our jamming and play as many songs as time allows. Choose your favorite song - one that you really like to play. They can be old favorites or newer songs. Everyone (guitars, mandolins, fiddles, penny whistles, auto harps) bring your requests too.
"Be sure to practice "Rosin the Bow." That's our theme song. Perhaps we can persuade Charles to sing our history.
"If you would like to try a new waltz, I've attached ANGEL'S WALTZ by Steve Britton. It's a "D" tune. The Pittsburg Club shared a new "G" song. It's called Y.Z. HAMILTON'S SPECIAL BREAKDOWN. The tune may be familiar. It's attached also.
"See you June 27.
"Joyfully,
"Lynn

A young man who was being interviewed to join the
police force was asked, "What would you do if you

He answered, "Call for backup!"
