It’s a Hoot: Folk Song Jam

Bring your guitar, if you play, or other instrument. Please bring your copy of Rise of Singing or come and share someone else’s copy. Bring your favorite songs, maybe with 10 or a dozen copies, so others can join. Bring yourself and your mother and your children. Check it out.
