Thursday night and there is a jam somewhere in Western North
Carolina… oh yes, Waynesville, it is the Celtic Jam. The music style at the Frog Level Brewing
Company jam alternates each week between Old-Time and Celtic, so we decided to
try the Celtic Jam.
To be honest our first stop in Waynesville was the Blue Ridge BBQ
for dinner. The previous week we ordered
take-out and were delighted with the selection and food quality. We wanted a repeat performance but this time
in person! This time it was corn bread
salad, yes that is correct. Corn bread
salad sounds strange but it works.
Consider it a variation on fully-loaded nachos. Of course we had bbq and a double order of
collards. Almost forgot the fresh apple
cake. Every item is fresh made from
scratch. How can you lose? After a visit with the restaurant owner’s
sister it was time for the jam so off we went.

Entering the brewery we found familiar and smiling faces along
with a few new ‘friends’. The owner and brewer greeted us with a nod and mentioned his latest brew.
Thank goodness
we knew most of the tunes played. Bill
provided great rhythm guitar to hold down the bottom and Robert a lively bodhran
pace while the remainder of us played melody instruments. The time went quickly and before you knew it
three hours had past and it was time to drive over the mountain to our ‘home’.

I almost forgot... there was $$ in the tip jar!
