I'm thinking I am ready to wade into the world of old time jams, plus I'm getting bored just playing by myself. The trouble is, I dont know how to find the scene. I had a teacher for a while but his wife had medical issues, they moved back to Maine, and attempts to reach out to him for information have gone unanswered. He ran a local OT jam at a restaurant, but that seems to have folded when he moved and I never got to go to it before that happened. There is a local guitar store but they barely sell banjos, let alone know much about the local old-time scene. I know there are players around. I see open backs come up on craigslist and I've seen folks who are locally known play at various events, (not music events really...like one was a sculpture dedication the city did) but thats all I have.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm trying to keep my "ear to the ground" but coming up empty so far
