Musicians start gathering Friday afternoon, acoustic jams are every where on the city square. Bring a chair, find someone playing your favorite music and join in. We do the old fiddle tunes, country and bluegrass. Bring your guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, bass, lap dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, autoharp, mouth harp, jews harp. By Sunday afternoon, your fingers are tired, vocal cords wore out, leg is sore from tapping your toes - time to go home after the best music jam yet. 'Till next year.
Pickin, Singin, and Dancin' at Bear on the Square Festival, 2010. with John Grimm, Bevery Smith, John Kelley, Bob Buckingham, Pat Shields, Chip Corbitt, Kenneth Johnson, et al....April 2010. Dahlonega, GA
Instrument Sitting
After hours of 'picking' on the Square, now you can take a break without carrying around your instrument. At the Information Booth on the Square, we will provide 'Instrument Sitting'. Just like a coat check at the fancy clubs, we will give a token and you can reclaim your case when you return. Still, you should put a card with your name and number inside the case, so you shouldn't leave with a better instrument than you came with - The Management.
Dulcimer Players
All dulcimer players are invited to jam at the demonstration tent, Saturday at 4 pm.
