Last Session; May 11:

The featured groups were organized by Bill Armstrong and Brian Richardson. This is the second year for this “Rent Party” and it was another huge success. Some of the best traditional muscians in the area donated their time to play a fund raiser for South Bay.

People who left early missed some great music in the last set. It was three tubas, three trombones, one cornet and one flugle horn. Thie line up may be strange but it shure worked for Tin Roof Blues, Joe Avery's Piece and Dallas Blues.

The jammers keep getting better all the time. Getting on the stage with the South Bay Jammers has become a prestigious accomplishment.
