<p>I won't be attending, but for any who do arrive on Thursday, I have been to the jam at O'Hurley's General Store. It's a good friendly crowd, very welcoming to passers-by who join in the fun. I most often travel with a dulcimer for hotel playing, it's quieter and takes less space than banjo or guitar, so that's what I used there.

Such a worthwhile event to be part of. Safe Travels everyone, and look forward to the posts afterwards.</p>

<p>Ha! Hey bud, "He who smelt it, dealt it" as they say. James' snoring at Harper's Ferry was the only thing in town louder than the train, and shook the walls just as often!</p>
