OK, yes, it's on Easter, but the pub will be open, and so far I've
heard back that Nick, August, and Jean (if she can make it) are
planning to go, so I guess it's on!

Céad míle fáilte (100 thousand welcomes)!
You're invited to the 2nd Sunday of the month Session, 7pm - 9pm on
April 8, Britannia Arms Pub, 8017 Soquel Dr., Aptos.  This is a
slow/moderate/intermediate-speed session.

Etiquette guidelines:
1) Session starts promptly.
2) Going around in a circle, everyone has a turn to choose a tune and
    the tempo.  Tunes are generally played at moderate speed, but players
    are willing to slow down if needed.
3) A single tune is played 3 times.  In a set, each tune is played twice.
4) Talking beyond short chats or helpful comments please carry on out
    of the circle or after the session.
5) This is a place of business.  Please purchase something, if only a
    coke.  Come early and have some of the pub's tasty food.
6) In general, sheet music is not used at sessions (other than the 3rd
    Sunday Slow Session).  This is the session you can use to wean
    yourself.  Here's a website with tips on playing by ear:

    Of course, use your tuneset book if needed.

Directions from Santa Cruz:  South on Hwy 1, take State Park exit,
turn left at light.  At Soquel Dr., turn right.  Go about a half
mile.  Go under a bridge.  Pub's immediately on the left.  Parking is
best just past the pub on the left in general village parking.
