MEETING FORMATS:

Monthly meetings normally begin with one of two musical formats:
- Circle (usually 20-30 performers, once around) with song/story/dance presentations relating to a predetermined theme. Upcoming themes are listed in the calendar below. Click CIRCLE PHOTO GALLERY for a peek at a past circle meeting.

UPCOMING MEETING CALENDAR:

Here's what on the meeting calendar for the coming months:


PREVIOUS DATES	To give you a better picture of our activities, we list the musical features of our past meetings on a separate page. Click HERE.

February 3, 2019 Circle: Thawing	We can't guarantee that the weather wall be thawing out, but we can still break out our melting songs. And by the way, since it's Valentine month, melting hearts should qualify (hint, hint). Our usual snacking and jamming sessions will follow. Of course we already know that will be Super Sunday. Since the Eagles won't be playing, we will go on as scheduled.

March 3, 2019 Feature: Lynn and Tony Hughes	Lynn and Tony bring a wealth of experience and considerable skill in folk, country, and especially Celtic music. Oh, the stories, they can (and will) tell, while entertaining us with songs accompanied by Tony's Guitar and Lynn's many concertinas.Our usual snacking and jamming sessions will follow.

April 7, 2019 Feature: Concert Take Two	We did not have enough time at the Spring Concert for everyone who wanted to play, so this will be a follow-up consolation concert for those who were not in the concert the night before, namely Fool & Prophets, Double D's, Spring Muse, Lynn & Tony, and Rick Anderson.Our usual snacking and jamming sessions will follow.

May 5, 2019 Open Jam & Workshop: Potluck Supper	We start the evening early at 5:30 with our annual potluck supper. A-M bring side dish or salad. N-Z bring dessert or fruit. This will be followed by jamming and workshops. Details to follow.

June 2, 2019 Circle: Progressive Circle	Here we go again with that totally demented progressive theme circle. That doesn't mean the songs have to relate to liberal politics. The theme varies in the course of the circle as each song has to be related in some (often obscure) way to the previous one. Our usual snacking and jamming sessions will follow.

July 7, 2019 Circle: First Time	There's a first time for everything, and there must be plenty of songs dealing with firsts from romance to railroading to space flight. Our usual snacking and jamming sessions will follow.
