One of the best things that has happened to me this year is the formation of the Frederick Jug Band. A bunch of my friends here in Frederick play various instruments–mostly the guitar. We’ve always played a little at parties, but now we’re playing more often (still just at parties) and practicing a little (which is still just at parties / get-togethers with beers).
Very roughly the band includes:
- Ed “the Jukebox” Morrell: guitar & lead vocals
- “Mississppi” Jim Merry: guitar (only one who can really play lead) & percussion
- Ken Whang: guitat & vocals
- Adam Henson: percussion
- me
Other possible entrants include:
- Butch Chalkley: fiddle
- Cam Petke: harmonica
- Eric Ward: all sort of horns
- whomever else is interested
It has been really great for me. I feel most lucky to have it going. I most enjoy singing and really just play the guitar so I have some background music to play along with.
So we’ll see how it goes! Maybe someday we’ll start having some gigs . . .
