Gather 'Round Children: America's Folk Song Heritage
Formerly "Miss Jenni's Pioneer Play Party"

Play parties are a traditional form of entertainment for children. Before the adults would have a dance in pioneer times, the children would get together with a leader to share songs and dances they all knew. Children still love to sing and dance, and I will be sharing the old songs with them in my new, historically researched and authentically presented show, Gather 'Round Children: America's Folk Song Heritage.
Visit my Gather 'Round Children: America's Folk Song Heritage website for more details about the show, a song list, my children's music professional biography, and information about how my show supports Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). I will also post upcoming public performances here. |

Regular Informal Appearances
Sunday Afternoons: Charlie's Acoustic Jam
http://www.tinkersjam.com
Charli's Jam is my home jam. Musicians meet and play informally on Sunday afternoons, from 3:00 until 6:00 or 7:00. The Jam has always been public; now it's hosted by Dallas' Eagles Club. Charli's jam is a core of musicians, including the inimitable Charli Alexander, and I've played with some of them for fifteen years or more. The jam is open, though, and there are always new people. Folks come bringing many levels of musicianship (we're all on the curve) and many styles, though it's always an acoustic jam. We're all there to have fun and we're all music lovers and listeners first.
 The Eagles Club is located at 8500 Arturo Dr. near White Rock Lake in Dallas, TX. Take Garland Rd. to Lakeland Dr. (near the Dallas Arboretum). Turn at the traffic light onto Lakeland (east). Cross over the RR tracks & take the first right. Arturo leads right into the Eagles parking area.
Thursday Nights: Sons of Hermann Hall, Elm Street, Dallas
www.sonsofhermann.com
Original Texas Music is constantly bubbling out of this historic Deep Ellum establishment.
I and my beloved, along with many friends,
may be found there almost any Thursday night at Ranger Randell's Acoustic Campfire Jam. The Son's is a old Texas German fraternal
organization, and Dallas' chapter has an especially wonderful hall and bar. Musicians gather by the dozens to play
original and other great songs - expect variety, chaos and harmony. Bring your axe.
