We have been
going to this jam for years and love it. It begins about 4:30
with old style country and bluegrass. There is limited seating
in the community center where the bands take turns using the stage
for about 45 minutes. Jam groups play in several places around
the property so bring lawn chairs. Hot dogs, cheeseburgers and
fries are available at reasonable prices and the proceeds support
the upkeep of the property. Otherwise, the entertainment is free.
Hope to see you there!

"The FL House recently closed and I want to know if the group that picked there on Monday nights has a new location in the area."
|

I am looking
for some pickers (snowbirds) that will be in the Fort Myers area
for January, February and March. We lost some players that will
not be returning back to Florida. Why I do not know! I specifically
need a banjo, mandolin and lead guitar person for some upcoming
free events.
Anyone interested
can call me at 239-482-1635. Thanks Tom

"Just
wanted to make some comments about the Ocoee parking lot jam on
Friday Nights. There are a bunch of talented musicians at this
event... a couple banjos, bass, dobro, fiddles, guitars and mandolins
- all making some GREAT sounds. Non-playing folks just pull up
and plunk down in their lawn chairs and soak it all in. Who can
believe this kind of entertainment is free??? You have to come
by and see what all the funs all about. Anyone is welcome to play
along, even beginners. Check it out!"
-Joye Carson,
Florida
"This
is a great jam with lots of participation, talent and hospitality.
It was established eighteen years ago and draws players from all
over the state. The parking lot is safe and well lit and if you
want a snack, feel free to bring a cooler (no alcohol please)
and your lawn chair. There are also several restaurants, including
a Pizza Hut and a Twistee Treat, around the parking lot.
If you're a
picker, you may want your favorite stool or a tailgate. If you
come by Florida turnpike, take Ocoee Exit B and go east on State
Highway 50 just past Maguire Rd. and turn in the drive just past
the BP Station on the right. Be prepared for a Friday evening
of good music! "
