[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] 3rd Sunday Session Invitation - Slow - June 17 - Windmill Coffee Spot

[Tane' Tachyon]

Fáilte (welcome) to this month's 3rd Sunday Session.  3rd Sunday of
the month, 2 - 4 p.m. on June 17, at the Windmill Coffee Spot, Santa
Cruz. This is a slow session. Bain sult as! (enjoy)

Alec has been working too many weekends lately and therefore will
probably be unable to make it at 1:30 to lead a slow airs session
before the usual session begins -- so, yeah, other people may want
to be there at 1:30 for slow airs, but realize that Alec probably
won't be.

Etiquette guidelines:
1) Session starts promptly so we don't lag into the whole day.
2) Please save the socializing for the break so we have lots of
   playing time.
3) 3:15 - 3:30 break:  As the Windmill Coffee Spot is a coffee shop,
   there will be drinks and treats there for purchase.
4) Going around in a circle, everyone has a turn to choose a tune and
   the tempo.
5) A single tune is played 3 times. In a set, each tune is played
   twice.
6) If needed, bring your music stand and tuneset book. Here's a
   website w/ tips on playing by ear:

7) Tuneset books are sold for $15 exactly or check.

Two things I noticed at last month's session were (1) even though
the location has some shelter, breezes can still occasionally flip
pages or tunebooks, so you may want to bring some clothespins or
other clips, and (2) as the sun and the shade from the umbrellas
move through the afternoon, you may start out in sun and wind up in
shadow or vice-versa -- you might want sunscreen.

The address of the Windmill Coffee Spot is 2-1231 East Cliff Drive.
I guess one easy way to get there would be to go down 17th Ave.
toward the ocean, then turn right on East Cliff, and in a few blocks
you should see the Windmill on your right. (This is from me as a non-
driver -- if anyone thinks that another route is preferable, send me
your improved directions.)
