December Royal Mile Jam

We had a bigger jam this month than any since Spring, so thanks to everyone for coming out: Catherine, Julie, Bob, Stephanie, Ben, and Chris (last names omitted for plausible deniability!).

We drew heavily from our standard tune list, common to the Royal Mile and fiddle club sessions. Julie brought her recently-acquired fiddle to test out, while I brought my Cittern; and Chris and I belted out some songs accompanied by his guitar at the end while I tried to restring my fiddle. We also tried to stretch out the session until 7:00, but eventually got the cut-off signal from the manager (aka, the cut throat signal!). So I made sure to be extra nice and thank her for putting up with us!
