Bloomington, Indiana, USA: [Blues]
The Bluebird Nightclub, 216 North Walnut. The evening start off at about
10:00 with the house band, The Blues All Stars, playing a least one set.
Fairly loose and easy to get to sit in. Players range from fair to
excellent, mostly local. There have been some celebrity appearances,
such as members of John Mellencamps' band (who are, after all, locals)
and others. But those are rare. It's not unusal to wait until midnight
to play, so be prepared to wait.

Knightstown, Indiana, USA: [Bluegrass]
There is regular Bluegrass jam session in Indiana. It's at Doug's
Pickin' Parlor in Knightstown, on Rte 40 about halfway between
Indianapolis and Richmond. I've never been, but a buddy of mine says
there are 20-40 musicians every Wednesday night, with another session
Fridays. Generally there are two groups, beginners and advanced that
fill the place. I hope to get over in July to check it out and send a
better review.
