August 1,
2021
Hybrid
(virtual/live) Circle:
Shaking
Hands
|
Someone will
undoubtedly sing "Sweet Caroline" (think "touching
hands"). There must be lots of other songs
involving hands or shaking or both. This
will be our first in-person circle since March of
2020, but the meetinghouse will only allow
vaccinated individuals to attend at this time. To
accommodate those who cannot attend for any reason,
we will make the circle available on Zoom, using a
webcam and the wide-screen TV in the meeting room.
Remote participants will be able to take part in the
circle the same as anyone in the room. Our usual
eating, jamming, and socializing will follow.
Everyone is on their own for eats. For remote
participants, socializing and jamming afterward will
be limited, as you won't be able to both play and
hear us at the same time, but we'll see what we can
work out.

September 12,
2021
Hybrid
(virtual/live) Circle:
Weeds
|
Someone will
undoubtedly do Saverio's "Working In My Garden" or
some other gardening songs, and maybe our old
friends Dick and Helen Weed will join us. This
will again be a hybrid zoom/in-person circle. Remote participants will be able to take
part in the circle the same as anyone in the room.
Our usual eating, jamming, and socializing will
follow. Everyone is on their own for eats. For
remote participants, socializing and jamming
afterward will be limited, as you won't be able to
both play and hear us at the same time, but we'll
see what we can work out. |

October 3,
2021
Hybrid
(virtual/live) Circle:
Boos/Booze
|
This will likely be a
mix of scary Halloween songs and rowdy drinking
songs. As we all know there is no shortage of
either of these. This will again be a
hybrid zoom/in-person circle. Remote
participants will be able to take part in the
circle the same as anyone in the room. Our usual
eating, jamming, and socializing will follow.

November 7,
2021
Hybrid
(virtual/live) Circle:
Songs of
the Sea
|
As with the previous
theme, there is no shortage of material on this
topic. Expect the selections to cover the
waterfront (so to speak). This
will again be a hybrid zoom/in-person
circle. Remote
participants will be able to take part in
the circle the same as anyone in the room.
Our usual eating, jamming, and socializing
will follow. Everyone is on their own for
eats. For remote participants, socializing

December 5,
2021
Hybrid
(virtual/live) Circle:
Standing/Last
Stand
|
First of all, "Stand
By Me" comes to mind. Or maybe someone will dredge
up "Please Mr. Custer". LOsts of other songs
involve standing somewhere. This will again be
a hybrid zoom/in-person circle. Remote participants will be
able to take part in the circle the same
as anyone in the room. Our usual eating,
jamming, and socializing will follow.

January
2 or 9, 2021
Hybrid
(virtual/live) Circle:
Sitting
|
Since we just did
"Standing", it follows that sitting should be
next. It's been said that where you stand depends
on where you sit, but that might be hard to turn
into a song. You could be sitting on the dock of
the bay or on top of the world. Lots of
possibilities.
Hopefully our experiment with hybrid
zoom meetings will have been a
success and we see this practice
continuing into the new year. As
always, remote
participants will be able to take
part in the circle the same as
anyone in the room. Our usual
eating, jamming, and socializing
will follow. Everyone is on their
own for eats. For remote
participants, socializing and
jamming afterward will be limited,
as you won't be able to both play
and hear us at the same time, but
we'll see what we can work out.
