Palm Coast VFW Post 8696 at 47 Old Kings Road hosted its first Acoustic Jam of 2021 in its outdoor pavilion Saturday, March 6. The event was a joyful occasion for local musicians who have had little opportunity to get together and jam since COVID began.
There were about 20 musicians and 15 visitors in attendance. A voluntary offering of $161 was given to the VFW in appreciation of all they do for our veterans and for lending the pavilion to the players and guests.
The event went non-stop from 1:30 to 4:15 p.m., with many full rounds of playing and singing. Even the cool weather and the wind could not dampen the enthusiasm for playing together once again. The music ranged from gospel, to country, bluegrass and a little blues.
A second event is planned for 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 3. If you plan to attend, you may want to bring a comfortable chair. There are restrooms available in the VFW lodge, plenty of parking and good times. A volunteer donation will ensure these jams can continue at the VFW.
