We are re-launching this group for Princeton, NJ area musicians interested in getting together to jam with a specific focus on bluegrass, old time fiddle music, and country with a bluegrass instrumentation.  We currently try to meet once a month and encourage everyone to lead a song or tune.  All levels welcome, but stringed instruments only, please. No drums, flutes, etc.
