Every Saturday Evening
The jam session
started in 1991 largely through the efforts of Audie Stone. Recently
Audie passed away and the event is run by his wife Maureen
and her children. The jam features early county music,
bluegrass, gospel music, and fiddle tunes. Listeners
occasionally two-step dancing and jig dance. Money from
a concession stand helps defray the expenses of maintaining
the building. |
 |
| Directions from Springfield: drive east on US-60
for 44 miles; drive south on MO-5 for 34 miles; drive east on MO-95
for about a block and turn right onto a dirt road; drive south
about 1/2 mile [See
map]. Photographs are from July 8, 2000. |
 |
The building, which is rarely used as an auction
house any more, is maintained primarily for the jam session. |
 |
On the night I attended, a benefit cake auction was
in progress to help with medical expenses incurred by the owner. |
 |
Listeners can purchase food at the concession stand
and enjoy the music as the role of singer rotates around the circle. Warren
Moody is the fiddler. |
 |
A small dance floor has been built to accommodate
those who want to two-step (see top photo) or, as in the photo
on the left, to jig dance. |
