> Fáilte (welcome) to this month's 1st Sunday Session. 1st Sunday of the
> month, 2 - 4 p.m., December 6, at The Buttery bakery and cafe, at 702
> Soquel Avenue close to downtown Santa Cruz. This is a slow session.
> Bain sult as! (enjoy)
>
> 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
>    http://www.pacholo.com/mike/
>    -- many thanks to Michael Long for putting the book together and
>    now putting it online as well!
> 6) All types of instruments are welcome and appreciated, but
>    acoustic only, please!
