[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] How to get copies of the tunebooks

[debsecrest at comcast.net]

Hello, 


I meant to print out the recommended list of tunes to practice before coming, but I must have erased it, can you please re-send? I haven't been able to attend for quite some time, but I always like to receive the e-mail invitation, one of these days I'll make it back . . . 


Thanks!

For Coty and anyone else who is interested in getting copies of the 
books: 

The 116-tune "Foinn Seisiun" book used as the basic slow-session 
repertoire is usually available at sessions for $15 from Jamie. 

The 1006-tune "King Street Sessions Tunebook" can be downloaded and 
printed for free at 
http://www.pacholo.com/mike/ 

I believe that the "King Street Sessions Tunebook" contains all of 
the tunes in the "Foinn Seisiun" book, but it's good to have a copy 
of the smaller book anyway: First, many times the slow sessions will 
play a set of multiple tunes that are all on the same page in the 
smaller book but on different pages in the larger one. Second, again, 
the smaller book does serve as the basic slow-session repertoire (and 
pretty much everyone at slow session will have it, which is not true 
for the larger book). 

Also, sometimes Jamie (and maybe others as well) will pass out copies 
of particular song picks that aren't in the Foinn Seisiun book.
