BLUEGRASS CORE 720P-HD | PICKERS FORM A MUSICAL BOND.
Everything you read here is solely the opinion of the videographer and in no way represents any participant of the Ocoee Parking Lot Bluegrass Jam. I (the videographer) am just another lover of bluegrass music and attend the Jam as any other spectator, the only difference being I look through the lens of the camera. So, if I opine in any way about the music, it is just that, a humble, unqualified opinion. You may choose to agree or disagree. I’m merely a story teller with a camera.
As you watch, keep in mind this is an OPEN JAM. It is not a rehearsed performance. Each picker, in turn, chooses a tune, and he or she sings or plays it accompanied by all the other pickers. Everyone gets a chance no matter the skill level. It seemed that this Jam was composed mostly of experienced pickers. The Jam meets every Friday evening at 6:30 in the parking lot behind the Pizza Hut at 15840 West Colonial Dr., Ocoee, Florida 34761.
Tonight’s Jam is absent several excellent pickers from last week. The good news, however, is the musical burden is aptly carried by a smaller group of pickers who have been the core of the Jam for many years. They are accustomed to playing together and are a fairly close group.
