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.
