July, 2014 Meeting Report

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and 4 of us played a round of club tunes. There is always something to learn about playing with a group; practicing chords, melody and harmonies etc. We would love to see more participation as we approach the fall; whether changing the time of day (Would morning be better?) or day of week, etc. Please let us know if there is an idea that you have to make this a better club.

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.
