This is a slow session.<br>Bain sult as! (enjoy)<br><div><br></div>Etiquette guidelines:<br>1) Going around in a circle, everyone has a turn to choose a tune and<br> the tempo.<br>2) Try to maintain the tempo set by the person who chose the tune.<br> Conversely, if you choose a tune and tempo and find that the tempo<br> gets sped up too much while playing, don't be shy about asking that<br> it be immediately played again sticking to the slower tempo -- it's<br> good practice for everyone.<br>3) A single tune is played 3 times. In a set, each tune is played<br> twice.<br>4) If needed, bring your music stand and tuneset book. Here's a<br> website with tips on playing by ear:<br> http://www.slowplayers.org/SCTLS/learn.html<br>5) Copies of the tuneset books generally used at slow session are<br> sold for $15, and you can now download and print the 1006-tune<br> "King Street Sessions Tunebook" for free at<br> http://www.pacholo.com/mike/<br> -- many thanks to Michael Long for putting the book together and<br> now putting it online as well!<br>6) All types of instruments are welcome and appreciated, but<br> acoustic only, please!<br><div><br></div>Some months we've played out on The Buttery's patio -- you can see<br>two photos of this in Nick's blog entry<br>http://quantumtantra.blogspot.com/2008/07/santa-cruz-session-relocates.html<br>-- and other months we've been playing upstairs in an office, which<br>you can see in these two photos<br>http://flickr.com/photos/tachyon/2956709828/<br>http://flickr.com/photos/tachyon/2955870083/<br>Basically, if you don't see anyone on the patio, go up the stairs on<br>the left outside wall of the Buttery, and you'll find us in a room<br>down the hall on the left.<br>-- <br>Tané Tachyon = tachyon@tachyonlabs.com = http://tachyonlabs.com/<br><div><br></div>---<br>This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.<br>https://www.avast.com/antivirus<br><div><br></div>_______________________________________________<br>Santa_Cruz_Celtic_Slow_Sessions mailing list<br>https://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/santa_cruz_celtic_slow_sessions<br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
