[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] 2nd Sunday Session Invite - Moderate Speed - December 9 - AT JEAN'S HOUSE 1-3PM

[Tané Tachyon]

Unfortunately, the Britannia Arms pub in Aptos, home of the 2nd-Sunday
Moderate-Speed Session for so many years, has now closed its doors. See
http://santacruz.patch.com/articles/britannia-arms-in-aptos-closes-without-warning

Fortunately, Jean has graciously offered her Westside Santa Cruz home
for tomorrow's session, though it will be FROM 1-3PM rather than the
usual 7-9PM Britannia Arms time. And so ...

Céad míle fáilte (100 thousand welcomes)!
You're invited to the 2nd Sunday of the month Session, 1pm - 3pm on
December 9, at Jean's house, 202 Getchell St., Santa Cruz. 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) All types of instruments are welcome and appreciated, but
   acoustic only, please!
5) Talking beyond short chats or helpful comments please carry on out
   of the circle or after the session.
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.

Everyone is welcome to bring snacks to share, if they like!
