Show A New Place For Local Pickers Musician's "Social" Club Sets Bluegrass Jams IT'S NEW: BLUEGRASS JAMMIN' AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN JAMM. Beginning in February, a new avenue will open up for hard-core bluegrass jammers through twice-a-month sessions at Rocky Mountain Jamm. These are scheduled so as not to conflict with the regular jam sessions at Crompton's. RMJ, which bills itself as "a musician's social club", is located in Sugarhouse on Wilmington Ave. (2200 South) just off Highland Drive (1100 East). It is upstairs behind Fashion Gal, located on the southeast comer of Highland and Wilmington. The performing area is a stage bigger than your living room, replete with all sorts of sound equipment. With a little furniture rearranging we will be able to set up vocal and instrument mikes and everything, and bring a classier sound to our spontaneous musical efforts - real uptown stuff. All serious bluegrass pickers and listeners are urged to come out and support this. It's still in the experimental stage, and needs significant support in order to survive. Bluegrass jam sessions are scheduled for the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, beginning at 7:00p.m. This ·month, that's Feb. 14 and Feb. 28. RMJ offers a variety of beers on tap, and Plettae !i511pport 011r !AM :Ativertlaera ... ' ..
