Fall kickoff at Lockhouse 6 on the C&O Canal in Washington, DC. In the ''allspel'' (everybody plays) we played this tune, Hambo på logen, among other familiar tunes. After a delicious potluck, there was a showcase where members played tunes they had learned over the summer at different camps and festivals. See under ''Photos'' (under About) for more pictures. September 13, 2025.
