a rude banjo player from gray
came to pownal one thursday to play
but his incessent twang upset the whole gang
'til his banjo met Jeff's trebuchet !!

 

A couple from Maine decided to venture to New York City to see a show at Carnegie Hall. Never having been to the big city before, they soon became quite lost. After much "prompting" from his wife the husband agrees to ask for directions, but is ignored by the new Yorkers, who simply walk on as if he wasn't even there. Finally they spot a distinguished looking gentleman walking with a violin case. 'He must know' they thought!' "Excuse me, sir, do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall?" they asked. The gentleman stopped, thought a moment, and said, "Practice, practice, practice!"

 

Instruments at the Jam

Now included with the tunes and references will be instruments represented at each session. Typically there will be a lot of fiddles, some guitars, and woodwinds. Mandolin, bass, bodhran, and other percussion instruments will join in sometimes... you never really know! All are welcome!

Directions to the Pownal jam at 16 Elmwood Road, Pownal

From I-295

From I-295 take exit 22 and at the end of the off ramp, turn onto Mallet Drive towards Pownal & Bradbury Mt State Pa.k, AWAY from Freeport... If you are coming from the North this would be a left, if from the south it will be a right... At the end of Mallett Drive turn left, go about 2.3 or so miles we are on the LEFT... Because it is Freeport & confusing travelers is just a way of life there, at the intersection at the end of Mallet Drive there is a sign that says Durham Rd, you might see a sign that says Pownal Rd when you go around the bend, if you're not too busy staying on the road... This road becomes the Elmwood Rd at the Pownal/Freeport line..


From Pownal Center

Head toward Freeport on the Elmwood Road, we are about
2.5 miles down on the right, just after the Verrill Rd intersection.


Please do call if you become misplaced... number to call is 712-2837,
if no answer, hang up & call again, the music can be loud at times...

There will be a red flag at the foot of the drive and across the road from us is a white rail fence as you might see a at horse farm.
