[dcab-l] Bluegrass in Central Maryland - Brunswick Bluegrass Jam

We have a fifth Sunday this month, and that means there's a jam at Beans in the Belfry Cafe in downtown Brunswick, MD, from 3-5 PM (option to keep going till 6). This is an open circle jam and Beans is a great welcoming environment in a 100+ year-old church building with a fine selection of light fare and drinks including craft beers and wine - there is no cover. I have to be at Dulles Airport that afternoon, but Jerry Swope has volunteered to host. More info on Beans in the Belfry here - beansinthebelfry.com and on the jam here - https://www.facebook.com/BrunswickBluegrassJam?ref=hl
