July, 2014 Meeting Announcement

Our next scheduled monthly meeting in on July 12, 2014.

Our monthly meetings are held the second Saturday afternoon of the month at the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship, 1207 Ellsworth St. from 1:30-3:30, and occasionally we extend for snacks and social time. We are on the second floor, there is an elevator and the building is handicap accessible. All players, both beginners and experienced, are welcome to join in. The first half of the meeting is spent reviewing recently learned tunes, then learning a new tune. The second half of the meeting is "Song Circle", so please come with some tunes in mind. There is a list of our practiced songs further on this site.

This month we will just have a good old jam. A couple of us are going to Dulcimer camp and will try to bring back some tidbits for all! Looking forward to just some plain old strummin!

June, 2014 Meeting Report

It really was a "June Jam " and attended by seven hearty souls with a new comer, Ed, who came up from Oak Harbor. After playing through our repertoire, I introduced a new version of "Cluck Old Hen", and we familiarized ourselves quite quickly to it, having a lively round. We played through many old favorites with about 4 versions of "Boil Cabbage". We are developing our Arpeggio playing and it sounds and feels so good! Along with the different strumming, we practiced blending tunes and using harmonies. Thanks to all who attended and looking forward to next month.
