Fortunately, Jean has graciously offered her Westside Santa Cruz home<br>
for tomorrow's session, though it will be FROM 2-4PM rather than the<br>
usual 7-9PM Britannia Arms time. And so ...<br>
<br>
Céad míle fáilte (100 thousand welcomes)!<br>
You're invited to the 2nd Sunday of the month Session, 2pm - 4pm on<br>
January 13, at Jean's house, 202 Getchell St., Santa Cruz. This is a<br>
slow/moderate/intermediate-<u></u>speed session.<br>
<br>
Etiquette guidelines:<br>
1) Session starts promptly.<br>
2) Going around in a circle, everyone has a turn to choose a tune and<br>
the tempo. Tunes are generally played at moderate speed, but players<br>
are willing to slow down if needed.<br>
3) A single tune is played 3 times. In a set, each tune is played twice.<br>
4) All types of instruments are welcome and appreciated, but<br>
acoustic only, please!<br>
5) Talking beyond short chats or helpful comments please carry on out<br>
of the circle or after the session.<br>
6) In general, sheet music is not used at sessions (other than the 1st<br>
and 3rd-Sunday Slow Sessions). This is the session you can use to<br>
wean yourself. Here's a website with tips on playing by ear:<br>

Of course, use your tuneset book if needed.<br>
<br>
Everyone is welcome to bring snacks to share, if they like!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
