JD and The Jammers

Thanks to all who wrote in about JD yesterday. I promised I would show you what it looks and sounds like to see him when he is performing with the Jammers.

As I said yesterday, JD is one of the single greatest and most exciting musicians I have ever encountered. You saw him in the yard yesterday with just a harp and his brother.

Let’s take a look at JD and The Jammers, electric (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WppsaCQd1Ro) .
