2 March 2012 The Minstrel Acoustic Concert Series presented by Fri., 3/2: The Nuala Kennedy Band,Sharlys Dugan Nuala Kennedy has been steeped in Celtic music since the age of 7. Born and raised in County Louth, Ireland, and educated in Edinborough, Scotland, she has been winning music competitions in both countries since she was 13. Now in her early 20 s, she is in residency in New York under a fellowship founded by renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma. She tours as a trio along with guitarist Kyle Sanna and fiddler Dana Lynn to complement her flute, whistle, and vocals. There is a palpable joy in this band immediately obvious to anyone who sees them and listens. The Minstrel was fortunate to be included in their schedule. Our opener is a spin-off of the late lamented Dugan s Hooligans family band that gave its farewell performance on our stage back in December. Sharlys Dugan is a gifted 18-year old harper / whistle-player / singer / stepdancer heading off on her own musical career of Celtic music. She ll be playing with accompaniment from her friends, undoubtedly including some former Hooligans. But this will be Sharlys show. Fri., 3/9: Open Stage This is an opportunity for all acoustic musicians to perform a 15-minute set on our stage, and for the audience to be treated to a diverse collection of acoustic musicians. We ve often seen previews of our regular scheduled acts for the first time at Open Stage. For information on how to secure a performance slot, call , or go to and visit the Open Stage page. Fri., 3/16: The Buskin & Batteau Trio, Beau Borrero & His Mom David Buskin (guitar, keyboard) and Robin Batteau (fiddle, guitar) along with percussionist Marshal Rosenberg first played together as Tom Rush s backup band. The combination was too good to remain in the background. Not only were they brilliant musicians and singers, they both were superb songwriters. (David Buskin is well known as one third of the hilarious Modern Man). They toured into the 90s to great acclaim before going their separate ways, and their loyal fans still remember. They re now back together and coming to the Minstrel. Opener Beau Borrero is a new Folk Project member recently arrived from the state of Washington. One of his great musical influences is his mom, Gretchen Gubelman, who will be flying out to visit. Together they make a charming pair, singing their own original songs. Their music is characterized by skillful wordy lyrics, genetically matched voices in harmony, and occasional vaudevillesque humor. Fri., 3/23: Spuyten Duyvil, Deuces Child Spuyten Duyvil [SPITE-en DIVE-el] might be thought of as Big Band Folk Music. This 8-member group explodes off the stage with infectious energy. Their music is Americana roots, and some originals that sound like Americana roots. They...roll like an old time tent show, but instead of selling worthless snake oil, they deliver a package of gems, well crafted tunes and stories that are pure fun to listen to. Ron Olesko. Opening: We discovered Deuces Child (Gigi Tanglewood and Lou Patrick) at a Minstrel Open Stage. This pair of charmers perform mostly their own songs filled with good harmonies, tongue-in-cheek humor, sparkling acoustic guitar interplay, and contagious fun. Their style centers on country blues and folk rock, but it s mostly their stage personnae that sell this duo. Fri., 3/30: Long Time Courting, Maeve Gilchrist Long Time Courting is a new combination of what reads like a Who s Who of contempory Celtic musicians. Bringing together the talents of Sarah Blair on fiddle/vocals, Liz Simmons on guitar/vocals, Shannon Heaton on flute/vocals, and Ariel Friedman on cello/vocals, this Boston-based band shares a love of traditional Irish, Scottish and American folk music as well as contemporary material. They bring elements of these various genres to their repertoire in a way that is seamlessly innovative, inventively arranged, and skillfully rendered. Opening: Keeping in the Celtic theme, Edinburgh born harper and singersongwriter Maeve Gilchrist will open. She is widely recognized in the Celtic harp world as an innovator on the instrument because of her uniquely chromatic and improvisatory style of playing. Even so, her early immersion in traditional Scottish music shows through, grounding her original songs and tunes with ancient roots. UPCOMING: 4/6: Mark D. Conklin; 4/13: Open Stage; 4/20: Don Henry, Craig Bickhardt; 4/27: Orrin Starr; Thurs., 5/3: A special Thursday movie night at the Minstrel Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune The Minstrel is an acoustic music concert series run by the Folk Project, a non-profit folk music and arts organization. We use the facilities of the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, 21 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ. We hold shows almost every Friday, year round, and the second Friday of the month is usually an open stage/audition night. The music we present is folk music in its broadest sense. That is, in addition to traditional American and ethnic folk music (in its purist definition), we welcome music of contemporary, primarily acoustic songwriters, and other types of music more folkie in attitude than in content. Shows start at 8pm; dress is casual. We serve coffee, teas, and baked goods. There is no alcohol or tobacco on the premises. Admission is inexpensive; on our regular Friday concerts we ask $7.00 on your way in, and, if you feel the show was worth it, an additional amount at your discretion on the way out, which goes to supplement what we pay the feature performer. Children under 12 are free. For travel information, or information on shows call or visit our website at Funding has been made possible in part by funds from the Arts Council of the Morris Area through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/ Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

4 A Full Day of Music Featuring Keith Murphy Saturday, April 28 A guitar workshop that will introduce students to the alternate guitar tuning known as DADGAD (4 pm 5:30 pm) Pot Luck Dinner (5:30 7:00 pm) House Concert (7:00 pm 9:00 pm) Followed by an Evening o Music beginning at 9:00 pm (note this is in place of the regular Bonus Evening o Music at Roffmans ). Guitar Workshop: Beginning at 4:00 pm, Keith Murphy will conduct a guitar workshop that will introduce students to the basic elements of playing in DADGAD tuning, particularly as it pertains to Celtic music. The session will cover some essential chord shapes in DADGAD moving up and down the neck, making use of the beautiful sound possibilities from sustained open strings that are so much part of this tuning. The Scottish song, Jock O Hazeldeen (key of D) will be taught to put those chord shapes in context. The class will also learn a simple dance melody, the march called On the Danforth (key of A, capo 7th fret). This dance melody will be an opportunity to learn a few more chord shapes in DADGAD and introduce the idea of creating textures by means of alternate chord voicings and different strum patterns. A small section of the workshop period will be reserved for general questions from students. No experience in DADGAD tuning is required, though an intermediate level of experience on guitar is recommended. The class will make use of a capo and since we will discuss strumming issues, students should have a pick. Recording devices are welcome. Tickets for the workshop are $25 in advance and $30 at the door (space is limited). Tickets for the House Concert are $15 in advance and $20 at the door Festival of Storytelling & World Music Sun., March 18, 12:30 4:30pm County College of Morris, Randolph Storytelling for all ages on three stages featuring Anne Lemay, Julie Pasqual and Ken Galipeau. 3pm Concert featuring singer/composer/multi-instrumentalist Larry Siegel (hey, he has shared the stage with Dolly Parton and Pete Seeger)and storyteller/ musician Ken Galipeau (you know that guy). $6.00 admission all ages 5 to 95.

7 Folk Project Board Meeting February 2012 Board Meeting: The Summary The February meeting of the Folk Project Board... was called to order at 8:07 pm on February 7, 2012 at the home of Pam Robinson and Bob Safranek in New Providence, following a delicious pot luck attended by some of the Board. Present were Pat Brangs, Lois De Ritter, Nancy Dugan, Jim Gartner, Allan Kugel, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Bob McNally, Eddie Roffman, Bobbie Rosengarten (Trustees), Mike Agranoff, Carl Croce, Howie Goldman, Scooter Ferguson, Lindsey Meyer, Sandie Reilly, Pam Robinson, Scott Ross, Mark Schaffer, Rachel Streich (other board members), Connie Crawford, Bob Safranek, Rick Thomas, and Lori Falco (guests). Absent were Joe Graziano, Gloria Friedman, Nancy Kelner, Kevin Redden, and Jean Scully. The minutes of the January meeting were approved as amended, with apologies to George Leszczuk, who had been inadvertently renamed Dugan. Treasurer Rachel Streich reported that we are doing well financially. President Eddie announced that the Folk Project has been awarded a $2,500 grant from the Arts Council of the Morris Area (ACMA) for general operating expenses with a focus on rebuilding our young families audience. All future FP published materials will give credit to the ACMA for the time period of the grant. Festival co-chair Mark Schaffer reported that the festival has sold out through preregistration, a first for the FP, which caused much applause from the Board. The preregistrations are all for the full weekend, including 40 people who are new to the festival. FP members got first crack at registering, so there was no need to reach out to Jay & Molly s or Shockenaw Mountain Boys fan lists. Registrar Elizabeth Lachowicz will begin the actual registration on March 1. Day passes will become available if pre-registered people back out. A number of children and their parents have registered and Big Jeff DeSmedt has been added for children s workshops. In keeping with our goal to increase family audiences, part of the ACMA grant is being applied to Festival. In other committee news: Minstrel Chair Mike Agranoff gave kudos to Nancy Kelner s proactive and enthusiastic publicity work. With input from the Board, Mike decided to make the May 3 Phil Ochs movie night free to the public. As it is a Thursday night, this should encourage people to attend and will relieve staffing needs. The movie will be hosted by Phil s sister, Sonny. Special Concerts Chair Howie Goldman reported a successful first meeting of his committee. The April 28 Keith Murphy house concert at Mark and Robin Schaffer s will be a mini-festival with a workshop and concert by paid admission, followed by a free Evening of Music. Swingin Tern Chair Leigh Walker reported that at the recent Volunteer Recognition Night, ST roasted Joel Remde for his many years of fine service. Well done! Membership Chair Scott Ross noted that members who receive electronic newsletters don t get renewal notices. Many suggestions were offered by the Board, including s and postcards. Lori and Ed said Constant 12 Continued on next page... Good of the Order/Community News This is a place to share news about memorable events and challenges you have faced in the past month with your Folk Project Community. Please send items to Eddie Roffman, eroffman@optonline.net. Michael Mitsch finally got to hear his daughter Elizabeth play his favorite classical piece: Braham s Hungarian Dance #5 at her recent violin recital. (He also accompanied her on clarinet at the recital.) Their family musical bond was recently amplified through many evenings of family singing and fiddling during a recent Christmas visit to Ireland. Mark Schaffer greatly enjoyed getting together with members of the band and performers to rehearse for the Valentine s Day show. On rehearsal day, people came and hung out together, enjoying the pleasure of each other s company. Mark said, It felt like a family reunion on Thanksgiving. Mike Agranoff, as MC of the recent SCAN benefit concert at MUF, got to perform a song with backup by Frank Vignola and his trio. Mike says, It was great to be part of an entity performing at that level. I could musically do anything and they followed with precision and support, they enhanced my music. It was a great experience. Connie Crawford, in her professional life as a Transportation Engineer, has been consulting to IMAX Movie producer Steven Low, on production of a trilogy of films about railroads. The first of these films, currently being shown in IMAX, is Rocky Mountain Express about the history, steam-restoration and excursion on the Trans-Canada railroad. Upcoming films will be about high-speed rail and urban rail. Connie is enjoying the project! Our new FP membership chairperson, Scott Ross, proudly reports that he won the first quarter and first half sections of his company s Super bowl pool. It seems that Scott seriously enjoyed the game and he is enjoying his winnings. Pam Robinson thanks FP friends who called her when her dad fell and broke his ankle at Princeton Country Dancers January dance. Pam wasn t there, but friends who were there called from the dance. She was able to go directly and met her dad at the emergency room. Pam says her dad is doing okay with rehab and healing well. She hopes he ll make a full recovery. Contact could take care of this and encouraged all to use CC whenever possible to avoid duplication and maximize committee efficiency. Sandie Reilly, Chair of Horses Sing None of It, reported that Ellen Schwartz has found several new outlets for our cable show. Unfortunately, HSNOI sometimes disappears from local cable access. Sandie suggested that Horse-less viewers call their cable providers and express their desire. The more interested fans who call, the better the chances of improving access. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 pm. Next month s meeting is on March 6 at Gloria Friedman s in Florham Park. Board meetings are open to all Folk Project members. If you d like to sit in, send a note to secretary@folkproject.org to get directions to the meeting. 13
