Neighborhood hosts jam session
From the Johnson County Sun
The poet John Milton wrote, "Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie."
The Historic Overland Park Neighborhood Conservation Group hopes that sweet compulsion brings about not only smiles and foot-tapping, but a stronger sense of community.
The group will hold its third annual Blue Grass Music Jam from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Santa Fe Commons, 81st Street and Santa Fe Drive.
The Historic Overland Park Conservation Group will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this fall. With 879 units and a population of 1,678, Historic Overland Park is the largest group in the neighborhood conservation program established by the city to organize residents for community building purposes, address challenges and build on opportunities in older areas.
The neighborhood group is involved in a number of community building activities, but the bluegrass music jam has proven itself to be one of the most accessible and efficient ways to become acquainted with their neighbors.
The jam's featured act, the Back Porch String Band, has been making music together for four years and playing at the Historic Overland Park festivities for three of them.
