Subject: [Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] 2nd Sunday Session 
Invitation -Slow - October 9 - at The Buttery

Fáilte (welcome) to this month's 2nd Sunday Session. 2nd Sunday of the
month, 2 - 4 p.m., October 9, 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.
