Mountain Man Music Jam up Black Star Canyon Road January 28, 2011

An Acoustic Jam/Drum Circle – A free interactive and improvisational musical program for everyone!
Meet at the brown metal pipe gate at the end of Black Star Canyon Rd. Bring your favorite acoustic instrument to this mountain hideaway where birds sing, crickets chirp, creeks burble, trees creek, and leaves rattle. Join nature's chorus and bow a fiddle, blow a harmonica, tap a drum, pluck a guitar, sing, hum, or clap your hands. Let the sweet melody fill the air. Everyone is encouraged to participate. We play in front of the giant sandstone formation to the right of the gate.
