[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] 2nd Sunday Session Invite - Moderate Speed - October 14

[Tane' Tachyon]

Céad míle fáilte (100 thousand welcomes)!
You're invited to the 2nd Sunday of the month Session, 7pm - 9pm on
October 14, 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.

In the last message I sent out I had passed on a flyer about David
Brewer's free Celtic music/coaching/jam being held every Tuesday
night from 7-8:30pm at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church at 9850 Monroe
Avenue in Aptos -- Eric Sarti went to one and had this to say:

> Hi All, I checked out the below celtic nite yesterday and I was very 
> welcomed and was able to play our tunebook tunes slow with David and 
> a few others along with learning some of tunes they knew.  The church 
> sounds great, and they have another large wood-floor building for a 
> session, with a kitchen and a bbq pit outside.  We had it all to 
> ourselves. So, if anyone wants to work on tunes outside the two 
> Sunday's, this may be a good place to meet.  After 7pm at St. Andrews 
> (I took 1 to Freedom blvd, turned onto the frontage road going North, 
> and then took a right on Monroe.)  Hope to see some Slow Session folks 
> there too:
