About the Portland Steel Jam this spring or summer....
Does anyone know if it will be done again?
If yes, When?
Went to one a while back and there were some very good players and great music with a good band too.
Sure be nice to catch it again.
Thanks,
Andy

Spoke to Larry the other day. Venue is shut down during the spring window. Will likely have another jam in the fall.

Shame to miss one. Those are often the high point of my month.

Thanks Ken,
Agree it would have been nice.

If the Ponderosa isn't available could it return to the Beaverton Elks club?

Jeff, the Beaverton Elks sold that building and built another much smaller one elsewhere on the same property. Unfortunately, the new building probably wouldn't accommodate the jam.

Bummer. Liked that place.

I'm just curious. Are there any Pedal Steel Guitar workshops in the Portland OR surrounding areas? I'm thinking of like a clinic.... with a couple of teachers. Maybe like a Friday evening and all day Saturday with a jam at the end.

there's a regular Tuesday evening get-together over at Bob Muller's house in Wilsonville that's pretty close to a workshop. You might want to check that out.

Thanks Gary. We live inear central oregon, but we go to the valley once a month or so, and maybe I can stop in sometime. It would be nice to sit in and learn!

Andy if we had a jam would you come and play? We miss seeing and hearing you old friend. Put on your coat, Oct is just around the corner.
