Have Fun Zoom Jamming!

Kay Garza, with many years of study in guitar, voice and piano, as well as jazz and bluegrass jamming and scramble band experience, will lead a variety of songs (singing and playing guitar) in virtual sessions starting March 25. The sessions will meet at 10 a.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. A leader will lead a song (unmuted) and everyone else will stay on mute so they can sing and play along at home. People can take turns being the leader, and any participant can lead songs. Words and chords for each song will be emailed to participants the week before. Email Kay at kaybinabq@gmail.com with any questions or to sign up. She will provide additional information to those who sign up.
