[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] 1st Sunday Session Invitation - Slow - January 4 at Deli-licious

[Tane' Tachyon]

The next first-Sunday-of-the-month slow session is this Sunday,
January 4, from 2-4pm at Deli-licious, 21505 E. Cliff Drive, in the
East Cliff Village Shopping Center. I heard from both August and
Lucas that last month's first meeting of this new session was really
great -- Lucas says:

> The first Sunday Jam was a good success. We already have new members, 
> which is wonderful. 'Deli-licious' really likes us.  Thank you guys 
> for patronizing.  Their food is really cheap. I think I am going to 
> buy their Brazilian egg plate ($3.25) next time. Also, I was seeing 
> if we could make copies of the music that we can play really slow, if 
> need be.  Stuff by like 'Si Bheag Si Mhor', 'Carolan's Draght', 
> 'Ashokin Farewell', 'The Butterfly', 'The Ash Grove' and 'Ye Banks 
> and Braes'. It might be nice to tip Jamie for all this copying work 
> he has done. It is really nice to have some variety to play.

> Besides having a good place for someone starting with our group, the 
> slow jam can be fun for everyone. We found that when we played the 
> Cork hornpipe slower, it became a bouncy, wonderful piece of music. 
> I think it can stay bouncy now, even at speed. It is also a good 
> place to work on projects. Certain passage can be more difficult. 
> Likewise, it is a good place to experiment with ornaments, trills and 
> the like. Lastly it is good fun for those who don't want to wait 
> another month to play.

I've got a time conflict with a holiday party myself, so if anyone
wants to get a copy of the tunebook beforehand they can email me to
arrange a pickup.
