Jeffery Jam 2005 is the second non-bluegrass gallery in a row. I'm glad Poppy Mountain is around the corner so I can get back into the "Grass". Jeffery Jam is a great weekend hosted by my good friend Curt DuPont and his wife Debbie down on their farm in Robertson County, Kentucky. This is the third time I've been to the jam, but the 25th anniversary of the jam. I want to extend a big Thank You to Curt & Debbie, and if you were at the jam I suggest you do the same!
