    <p>i think moving up the time to 2 to 4 during the winter is a great
      idea. we can take a vote at the next session. although, it will be
      close to thanksgiving weekend and i've already heard from some
      folks that they won't be attending. but definitely an excellent
      idea. <br>

      Hi Louisa!  Great plan. I’ll bet the whole Sloe Session community
      would love to be included!
      <div>I hope to be able to return to sessions soon.  Sunday
        afternoons have been difficult for me. Also I’ve moved out to
        Corralitos and travel and gas prices are a new consideration for
        me. </div>
      <div>Considering my recent absences, I hesitate to make this
        request, but I remember, pre Covid, that when we changed our
        clocks in the fall we also changed our Slow Session time to 2-4.
        Could we consider that change again?</div>
      <div>Thanks and hope to see y’all soon. 🎶🪕🎻🪗</div>

                  <div dir="auto">Hi Everyone,
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>I floated an idea at Sunday’s slow session that
                      I want to put out to the wider group.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>I envision a monthly low key house concert/open
                      mic of sorts among fellow musician friends but
                      without the performance pressure (or less of it).
                        It’s about providing an opportunity to showcase
                      arrangements we’ve been refining in a supportive
                      community.  These pieces could be solos or fluid
                      ensembles.  It may bleed into other genres besides
                      Celtic.  But it would be acoustic.  These need not
                      be concert ready, but pieces we’ve devoted time to
                      play well.  …An opportunity to become comfortable
                      playing in front of supportive others, to develop
                      musicianship, to collaborate, to sharpen talent (I
                      know that if I’m playing in front of other I’m
                      going to practice more intentionally).  For some,
                      it might be a stepping stone for real
                      performance. </div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>Where this comes from:  I am a closet Celtic
                      fingerstyle guitarist and a lousy session
                      accompanist. So I play flute and whistle at
                      session (instruments I also love and am less lousy
                      at).  I am yearning to play some of my fingerstyle
                      tunes out in the world and to work on arrangements
                      with others (fingerstyle and accompaniment). It
                      occurred to me that others might be interested in
                      something like this.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>There are at least a few that expressed
                      interest.  Tentatively we’re thinking of the 2nd
                      Sunday at JJ’s.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>If you are interested or know someone who might
                      be, please respond/pass this along so I can create
                      a separate mailing list.  I’d also appreciate
                      hearing any ideas for optimizing an event like
                      this.</div>
