Please remove me from the e-mail list for this group. I've moved out of
the area, so I won't be able to attend the gatherings. Thanks!

> Fáilte (welcome) to this month's 3rd Sunday Session. 3rd Sunday of
> the month, 2 - 4 p.m. today, August 21, at The Buttery bakery and
> cafe, at 702 Soquel Avenue close to downtown Santa Cruz. This is a

> Etiquette guidelines:
> 1) Going around in a circle, everyone has a turn to choose a tune and
> the tempo.
> 2) 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.
> 3) A single tune is played 3 times. In a set, each tune is played
> twice.
> 4) 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
> 5) Copies of the tuneset books generally used at slow session are
> sold for $15, and you can now download and print the 1006-tune
> "King Street Sessions Tunebook" for free at
