October 2013 Meeting Report

A beautiful afternoon found six of us happily playing along to some new and old tunes. We did have a new player, Jerry, bring along his dulcijo and strum stick and  "Old Joe Clark"  was a perfect tune for all the instruments. We continued to practice "Spanish Fandango" and will keep it on the list for a few months. Putting a little time with practice on "The Three Ravens" we decided to wait until we have a good rendition to follow along. We also had fun reviewing "New River Train" along with old favorites; A Soalin, Butchers Gap, Rythum, Acres of Clams, River etc.Having our snacks at end of meeting was a good way to relax and chat.  Hope to have you there next meeting if you couldn't make it this time.

August 2013 Meeting Report

The  "dog days" of summer are here and we did have a guest canine at the meeting along with 11 other hearty souls. It was good to see many older club members and have their expertise among us and would love to have such a well rounded group at every meeting.

We are experimenting with our new format for meetings; starting with Happy Land we then proceeded to play our list of songs getting in Harrison Town, Lynchburg Town, A Soalin, Acres of Clams and Butcher's Gap. We spent time reviewing some tips and taking apart a few of the songs so that we all understood the tune. We did not have a new song this month. We then went to calling tunes and played Old Joe Clark, Liza Jane and June Apple. The meeting ended at 3:30 and a few people stayed to chat.

Please let us know your thoughts on the meeting and how you would like to see the club evolve. Next month Jillian will teach us "Spanish Fangdango".
