The next first-Sunday-of-the-month slow session is this Sunday,
February 1, from 2-4pm at Deli-licious, 21505 E. Cliff Drive, in the
East Cliff Village Shopping Center. I'll repeat Lucas's description
that I had sent out with last month's announcement:

 > 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.
