<p>Fáilte (welcome) to this month's 3rd Sunday Session. 3rd Sunday of the<br />month, 2 - 4 p.m., June 19, at The Buttery bakery and cafe, at 702<br />Soquel Avenue close to downtown Santa Cruz. This is a slow session.<br />Bain sult as! (enjoy)<br /><br />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 /><br />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.</p>
