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

[Tane' Tachyon]

Céad míle fáilte (100 thousand welcomes)!
You're invited to the 2nd Sunday of the month Session, 7pm - 9pm on
March 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 1st
   and 3rd-Sunday Slow Sessions). 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.
