The Thursday and Friday afternoon jams (Sept. 19 and 20, 1:00 to 4:00 pm each day - FREE) are a great place to meet people, visit, play tunes, etc. This has been an important part of the BOTMC for many years.  Because they take place at a private home, we don't publish the address on the web. 
To get the location, email BOTMCAfternoonJam@gmail.com and you will receive an automated reply with the address.
