District 16 WOTFA – Evergreen Fiddler News for March 2023 – Reporter Dianne Gooch

Our jam sessions continue with a new time. We will now start the jams on the 2nd & 4th Friday nights, 3:00 – 10:00 pm (or a bit later) at the Sisco Heights Community Club, 13527-99th Ave NE, Arlington, WA 98223. This change in time will accommodate folks who do not like night driving and as a way to avoid Friday night rush hour traffic. We have resumed having coffee available. That keeps us going with music for many hours. 

Our next WOTFA Midway Jam will be Sunday, March 12, 1:30-4:00 pm, at the Lynnwood Library (19200 44th Ave W, Lynnwood). We aim to schedule on the 4th Sunday each month but at times the room is already booked so we choose a different Sunday. We have 15-25 musicians at these jams. We have a great time playing fiddle tunes, bluegrass tunes, some swing tunes and being challenged with new tunes.  We are thankful to the Lynnwood Library for freely welcoming us to use this great room. 

On Saturday, February 25, we had a great time surprising our long time member, Lucy Reuter, for her 70th birthday. This was a big surprise for Lucy and music was played for hours with the fiddler friends as well as Lucy’s other group of Cajun musicians. A great time was had for all.
