    Default St. Simons/Jekyll Island Georgia

    Anyone know of any jams, shows or other Bluegrass related fun going on around the area this time of year?

    Not really. Back near Savannah. But this is just a beautiful area though. Wife and I vacationed here couple of years ago in May, and she's going back this May. Randy Woods place in Bloomingdale is about 75 miles away. Maybe call there. 912-748-1930.

    Thanks guys. I was in that area for a week or so on business. Always bring a mandolin if at all possible. I'd hoped to find something, maybe a Jam or a Bluegrass bar-band etc. (I guess I figured if Bill had the tune of Jekyll Island, there was hope of finding something.) No luck; at least not while I was there. Beautiful area though. Great food and nice people. Hard to beat that.

    I was just looking at Randy Wood's website and I read there that they have a Jam every Saturday afternoon in their Picking Parlour, if I can't make time that Saturday I'm there in May, I may try to go check out the place during the 2nd week while I'm on Saint Simons.
