We have been having a regular jam on Thursday nights at the newly built Eureka Music #Park located three miles south of Eureka Springs, Arkansas on highway 23. #It starts up about 6:30 and usually ends about 11:30. #It's been going on for a few months now, and usually between 5-20 pickers show up. #We just opened up last weekend in August with our first BG festival and plan on having many events next season with a strong emphasis on campfire picking. #Hope to see you there soon.

Hey:Ron!

I was there for the BG Fest on Thursday and Friday August 25 and 26...too bad the jam is on Thursday nights or I could make it more often. That was me with the A-9 Gibson.

I had a blast...perhaps I'll get up there again soon.

I just moved to NWA and just started playing a couple months ago, will you guys put up with a beginner?

Beginners are always welcome...you won't be a beginner for long if you start to jam on a regular basis. If you are in the Fayetteville area I could recommend some folks to jam with.

Do you still have people in Fayetteville to recommend jamming with. I'm a beginner and want to learn.

There is a regular Old Time jam in Fayetteville, here is their face book page link. Open armed to all skill levels but also have some great players attend. I'm from Illinois but was there last week with Banjo Billy Mathews, had a great time!
