Who's Who in the Rambling
Bluegrass Jam
Home Page
Here's the group. If you don't want your picture here, or you
want to change your description (I had to make up the initial
descriptions), or you want a new or better picture, please send e-mail
to "rambling {at} ramblingbluegrass {dot} org" or talk to Paul at the jam. People's last
names are omitted for privacy and since I usually don't know what they
are anyway. In fact, I usually use people's main instrument as
their last name, so
Paul would be known as "Paul Banjo". (Hmmm. maybe I need to
hyphenate names for multiple instruments. "Paul Banjo-Fiddle"?
Naaaaah
