The All-Volunteer String Band has been based on a "no-experience necessary" philosphy, that also includes very polished musicians. We learn from each other, practice, and play for the Old Time Barn Dances. Anything from fiddles, banjos, mandolins, and basses to harmonicas, dulcimers (both lap and hammered), dobros, spoons and even washboards are welcome. Contact Cathy or Tom Jones at Jones family Music School in Lombard (630) 889-912.
Below are songs that we play or are working on. Medleys are shown at the end of the song list (click here to go to Medleys). MP3s for listening and chords for learning. So now, rosin up the bow or get a grip on your pick, and get to playing.
