Guitars, fiddles, banjos, mandolins and a lone accordion all tuned to the key of A on the lawn facing Old Main. The sounds of a 1935 folk classic filled the circle of students, who sang together; “If you fill up ma jug, with some good ole mountain dew.” On Old Main lawn, old-time tunes continued to ebb and flow with the setting sun as the Western Americana Music Group (WAM) hosted a weekly jam session. WAM’s primary focus is old-time, country and bluegrass music, but they will play virtually anything musicians bring to the table, said Henson Burk-Fawcett, a co-band manager of the club. Every Thursday, WAM hosts a lesson from 6:30 to 7 p.m. to prepare for the jam session that goes from 7 to 8. Anyone can join – even if they don’t play an instrument.
