We host a
BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE Learning Bluegrass Jam the FIRST and THIRD Tuesday evenings each month.
Jams are from 7:00 - 10:00.
To speed page loading, I do not place the photos on the
listings pages, but indicate where they can be seen with this icon:

If you're curious about seeing something that does not have a photo, and
would like us to email free custom photos, just ask!
New Arrivals/Specials/Announcements:
If you have pop-ups turned off, you may wish to allow them on this site, as I only use them for emergency notices (unscheduled closings, etc). We set no cookies, so you don't have to worry about them, either.
Many folks tell me they check this page daily. If you're using Firefox (which I most highly recommend), you can install a drop-down list of the last month's worth of new items in your tool bar (it will look like this when you click the icon to open it). Opera, IE v.7, and Safari will also allow you to subscribe, but not via the cool dropdown icon. Or, you can receive the feed in many emailers (works great with Thunderbird) or stand-alone RSS readers (I also use the WizzRSS news aggregator add-on/extension with Firefox; Firefox is definitely the coolest method). Anyway, just click the link below and subscribe!

- OK, it's nothing for sale, but my good friend and builder of excellent banjos, Mike Ramsey stopped in the store for a visit 28 August 2003. So, of course, I had to get a photo of us (I'm the old one on the right)
