[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] 3rd Sunday Session Invitation - Slow - July 20 - NEW LOCATION - The Buttery

[Janet Platin]

Hi ,
How many people usually come to a session. I want to be prepared with chairs and enough space reserved to accomodate the most who would show up.

As you've seen in earlier discussion, the big news is that this
month's slow session will NOT be at the Windmill Coffee Spot but
instead at the fabulous The Buttery! To quote Lucas, "It is at 702
Soquel Avenue on the corner next to Shoppers Corner.  It is 2 long
blocks from Ocean on Soquel.  Everyone should like the location.  We
will see where we go from there." For more info on The Buttery, see

*********************************************************************
Fáilte (welcome) to this month's 3rd Sunday Session. 3rd Sunday of
the month, 2 - 4 p.m. on July 20, at The Buttery, in Santa Cruz. This
is a slow session. Bain sult as! (enjoy)

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 Buttery is a bakery and cafe, there are
   drinks and treats there for purchase.
4) Going around in a circle, everyone has a turn to choose a tune and
   the tempo.
5) Try to maintain the tempo set by the person who chose the tune.
   Conversely, if you choose a tune and tempo and find that the tempo
   gets sped up too much while playing, don't be shy about asking that
   it be immediately played again sticking to the slower tempo -- it's
   good practice for everyone.
6) A single tune is played 3 times. In a set, each tune is played
   twice.
7) If needed, bring your music stand and tuneset book. Here's a
   website with tips on playing by ear:
   http://www.slowplayers.org/SCTLS/learn.html
8) Copies of the tuneset books generally used at slow session are
   sold for $15. And if anyone wants a copy of the big (over 1000
   tunes) "King Street Sessions" tunebook some people bring to the
   sessions, you can get one from Michael D. Long (the compiler and
   editor of both tunebooks) at mikelong at cruzio.com

Being summer, the usual advice about clothespins/clips to make
tunebooks behave in breezes, and possibly sunscreen, would apply.
