A few times a year, the Morgantown Brewing Company Jammers have an opportunity to escape our cage. Hence, we are performing at 1000 till 1100 Saturday June 1 at the ampitheater at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park, near the finish line of the Decker's Creek half-marathon, followed by lunch at the Morgantown Brewing Company. Yippie! There will be a big crowd of happy people, plus some free food, free tee shirts, and some possible radio time.
If you would like to join us, please let Elliot Kennel know. Also, if you have a professional band, let me know, and I'll give the band a shout-out from our performance, and do bring some cds and etc to sell if you like. We'll try to allow commerce to happen.
We will have six mikes set up. Please let me know whether you plan to contribute to vocals or instrumental only, and if there is someone in particular you want to share a mike with.
Dress code: whatever you want, mindful of the heat. We'll be playing for sweaty people in gym shorts, but my fashion suggestion is western.

Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
We're all going down to Cumberland Gap
***We may wind up in a different key for this depending on who sings lead...also, sometimes the minor 6th is used instead of the IV chord....ah, heck, we're a jam group. Just look at the lead guitar player and we'll figure it out. ***

Am Greasy Coat
I don’t drink and I don’t smoke,
and I don’t wear no greasy coat.
I don’t cuss and I don’t chew,
and I don’t go out with the girls that do.
I don't kiss and I don't tell
And all you sinners gonna go to hell
