Making Homemade Music

Call it a jam, sing-around, song swap or hoot — or just a hunch of friends noodling in the kitchen — home made music offers an unparalleled opportunity to get to know people, expand your musical horizons and have a great time without spending one thin dime. Over time, a musical gathering can become a seed swap, garage sale, potluck smorgasbord, babysitting co-op, barter fair, sup port system and job board — all the things community is, with a beat.
