Year around. 3rd Sunday of each month, from 1:00-4:00 pm, at the Dr. John Silas Bass North Community Center, 505 N. Buckeye St., Iola. Musicians and music lovers of all ages, please join us for monthly meetings providing opportunity for fun and fellowship. There is no admission fee to the monthly meetings and guests are always welcome to just listen or perform. A group of "regulars" on stage are always ready to join in while others play along in the background, learning new songs or just "honing their licks". Musicians of all levels of proficiency are encouraged to participate. Oldtime music is a style of music not necessarily related to a date in time. It may be gospel, swing, bluegrass or country and western as well as other genres. It may be related to events or people. It has a recognizable tune and has a good even beat and rhythm to which people could dance. It might be music that has been performed or recorded by a well known artist. It could be music you learned while listening to friends and family playing on the front porch.
