Hello, 

I haven't been able to come to a Slow Session for a few years, but I really appreciate your updated e-mails regarding meetings. Someday I will make it to one of the sessions! 

Meanwhile, I have a new e-mail address, could you please change it in your contact list? 

It's: Deborah Secrest: secrestdeborah at gmail.com 

Thanks so much! 

Deb

Subject: [Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] 1st Sunday Session Invitation - Slow - March 6 - at The Buttery 

Fáilte (welcome) to this month's 1st Sunday Session. 1st Sunday of the 
month, 2 - 4 p.m., March 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! 

Some months we've played out on The Buttery's patio -- you can see 
two photos of this in Nick's blog entry 
http://quantumtantra.blogspot.com/2008/07/santa-cruz-session-relocates.html 
-- and other months we've been playing upstairs in an office, which 
you can see in these two photos

Basically, if you don't see anyone on the patio, go up the stairs on 
the left outside wall of the Buttery, and you'll find us in a room 
down the hall on the left.
