2 October 2011 The Minstrel Acoustic Concert Series presented by Fri., 10/7: The Jeremy Kittel Band with Bill Brandon When fiddler Jeremy Kittel last played the Minstrel in 2009, he did so under the Agranoff Imperative imprimatur, and more than lived up to the billing. Now 22 years old, holder of dozens of Irish and Scottish fiddling championships and top honors from the University of Michigan s jazz violin program, he spends most of his time as a member of the Turtle Island String Quartet. But he comes to the Minstrel fronting his own band consisting of the next generation of acoustic legends: Josh Pinkham on mandolin, called one of the most important young improvisers on the acoustic scene today by David Grisman. Nathaniel Smith a cello prodigy who also tours with Natalie MacMaster and Mark O Connor. And hammered dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman, whose sophisticated rhythmic sense and ingenious tonal flexibility has created a buzz among musicians all over the world. This concert at the Minstrel will be a world class performance to be remembered. Opener Bill Brandon manages to pack a big band into an acoustic guitar. He specializes in solo guitar arrangements of jazz and swing standards. 10/14: 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 visit the Open Stage page on the Folk Project web site, Fri., 10/21: Friday, October 21: Cindy Mangsen & Steve Gillette with Liv & Jordy Long time Minstrel favorites, CINDY MANGSEN AND STEVE GILLETTE might be considered the bellweather of the type of act that graces our stage. Relaxed, informal, and folksy, they nonetheless present a performance with great professionalism and skill. Their material ranges from traditional ballads to original songs, to covers from anybody from the Beatles to the Berrymans. They are both great singers and guitarists, and also play banjo, dulcimer, concertina and fiddle. Liv & Jordy (Olivia Platt and Jordan Black) are a pair of high school girls who have discovered the folk music of their grandparents and great grandparents generation. Playing acoustic guitar and singing in close harmony reminiscent of the Carter Family they breathe new life into the Appalachian Mountain ballads, country gospel, and old folk songs from the 30s to the 60s. Fri., 10/28: Frank Vignola & Vinny Raniolo with Frank & Hank Frank Vignola is well recognized among the world s greatest jazz guitarists. When he played the Minstrel in January 2010, he set the all-time record for attendance since we ve been at our current venue, with some audience members squeezed into seats on the wings of the stage itself. Frank s playing is brilliant, innovative, tasty, and unbelievable in its virtuosity. His fellow guitarist Vinny Raniolo gathers no dust either, and is in perfect synch with him. Frank draws his influence from the likes of Django Reinhardt and Bucky Pizzarelli, to such non-jazz icons as Frank Zappa, Les Paul, and Eddie Van Halen. He s played with the likes of David Grisman, Donald Fagan, Madonna, and Ringo Starr. And tonight he comes to the Minstrel. Don t miss him. A fitting opener for Frank & Vinny are Frank & Hank. An eclectic mix of music from bluegrass to jazz to standards comes from the agile musical minds of Folk Project members Frank Sole and Hank(Hen3ry) Nerenberg. Frank is a skilled guitartist both in lead flatpicking styles and in Django-inspired jazz. Hen3ry (the 3 is silent) has one of the widest ranging musical minds in the Project, and is a genius at innovative and appropriate arrangement.

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 To volunteer volunteers@folkproject.org October 1: Don Flaherty, Fingerplay Lisa Bueno fiddle; Helen White flute; Jonathan Brandt piano Contras Flaherty s fabled fluid figures and Fingerplay s feisty fiddling and ferocious fortissimos facilitate fabulous, flirtatious, festive frivolity fomenting fancy footwork for faithful, fortunate, fanatical followers. October 15: Bev Bernbaum, Montage Jane Knoeck accordion, piano; Rachel Bell accordion, flute; Tom Santarsiero guitar, mandolin, banjo Contras Bev brings a bevy of balances as Montage makes a mélange of music producing a potpourri of petronellas, an assortment of allemandes, a conglomerate of chains, a diversity of do-si-does, a hodgepodge of heys, a smörgåsbord of sashays and a tessellation of twirls.

Please send items to Eddie Roffman, eroffman@optonline.net. The Folk Project Board helped Lois DeRitter celebrate a milestone birthday after the September board meeting. There was a delicious cake and lots of merriment. Happy Birthday, Lois! Rick and Cathy Thomas avoided having to deal personally with Hurricane Irene, being unable to fly home from Washington after attending their niece s wedding. They spent the extra week planning configurations and details for their retirement home on Puget Sound. When Rick and Cathy finally arrived home, they had to throw out food that spoiled during a power shortage, but they were thankful not to find any other damage. Bob Safranek and Pam Robinson had come over and battened down their house before the storm. Mike Agranoff survived the storm, staying at Mark and Robin s house for several days when his neighborhood and his garage were inundated with eight feet of floodwater. Mike says, The water came up to the bottom of the joists in the garage, but never got into my living space. All things considered, it could have been worse. Cecilia Rowedder reports that she and Allan woke up on Hurricane Sunday to find water in their basement. They spent several hours vacuuming and scooping it up until Allan discovered an access port that he was able to open up, allowing the rest of the water to drain out. Mark Conklin, husband of new FP Trustee Ellen Weiss, was asked to perform his song September 12th at a special 9/11 Observance Ceremony at the Mayo Arts Center. We hear it was well received and the ceremony was deeply moving. Mark and Robin Schaffer report that just after Robin s parents had moved out from spending 3½ months with them, Mike Agranoff moved in for a week. Several of their kids and kids friends who lost electricity, spent the evening of the storm at their house with them. They shared music, charged cell phones and felt safe together. Their middle daughter Chelsea just started a new teaching job, in Connecticut, after college graduation while their youngest daughter Skylar just started at Rutgers. Evelyn Maurer and her sister Christine shared the Philadelphia Folk Festival, as they have done together in years past. These two brave souls had a good time and enjoyed the music, in spite of 2 days of heavy rain and mud. Evelyn is excited that sister Christine is planning to join her at our upcoming FP Fall Festival. Carl Croce noticed many oak branches come down around his house, but no damage was done. Carl says he is thankful because this saved the cost of having a tree service remove those branches. Carl is also thankful that his generator kept his sump pump running, keeping water out of his basement. Pam Robinson and Bob Safranek rushed west after the August FP Board meeting, travelling for 6 days and driving more than 2,300 miles. There was a great fish-fry at Bob s High School reunion; they spent time with friends and enjoyed the trip. As Hurricane Irene was departing on Sunday afternoon, a mighty poplar tree struck Eddie and Robin Roffman s house. The first crane couldn t handle it, but a 90-ton crane was brought in to remove the tree after a couple days. The roof, siding, rafters, ceiling and windows in their bedroom were damaged. Eddie says, We expect repairs to be done soon. For now the bedroom is covered with roofers tarps and we re sleeping in our comfy guest room. Thank God that nobody was hurt! 13
5 Folk Project Board Meeting September Board Meeting: The Summary The monthly meeting of the Folk Project Board was called to order at 8:12 PM on September 6, at the Highland Park home of Cecilia Rowedder and Allan Kugel. It was a dark and stormy night, with heavy rain, terrible traffic and memories of Hurricane Irene that were only a few days old. Hence the late start. Present were Lois DeRitter, Jim Gartner, Allan Kugel, Ed Roffman, Bobbie Rosengarten and Ellen Schwartz (Trustees), Mike Agranoff, Pat Brangs, Carl Croce, Chris Riemer, Pam Robinson, Bob Safranek, Robin Schaffer, Rachel Streich, Rick Thomas and Leigh Walker (Other Board Members), and Diane Goodheart, Evelyn Maurer and Mark Schaffer (Guests). Absent were Nancy Dugan, Gloria Friedman, Scooter Ferguson, Nancy Kelner, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Bob McNally, Sandie Reilly and Jean Scully. There was one correction to the minutes for August, and said minutes were approved as amended. Treasurer Rachel Streich said we were doing well financially, with comfortable reserves of cash. And Pam Robinson urged people to take a look at our QuickBooks Online system and run their own custom reports. She found it very interesting. The first item of business tonight was a review and discussion of Robin Schaffer s ad-hoc committee report, presenting the team s findings and recommendations in the area of electronic communications. We spent about 30 minutes on this, considering the appropriate scope, the functionality of Constant Contact, the format and content of regular communications, the operational support needed and the nature of policies. In the end, the Board expressed its support for Robin s committee with a hearty round of applause. In other business, Diane Goodheart was on hand to answer questions related to the recently submitted ACMA grant request, and Leigh Walker was elected to replace Connie Crawford as the chair of Swingin Tern. And in the committee reports, we heard that: Festival Chair Carl Croce thinks we re on track for a great festival, even though the registration numbers are not quite what he d like to see. Mark Schaffer added his personal thanks to the old crew, which has been very supportive of the newbies who are running the event this fall. Minstrel Chair Mike Agranoff reported that August was a month with low average attendance, but we finished about $60 in the black. The upcoming Phil Ochs night will be preceded by a showing of the Phil Ochs movie, hosted by Phil s sister Sonny. Special Concerts chair Pam Robinson noted that an analysis of Aztec Two Step survey responses has provided the top four answers to the how did you hear about this concert question: the Folk Project Website (17), a friend (16), announcement at the Minstrel (13) and the performer s Website (10). Merchandising Chair Robin Schaffer has lots of stuff ready for Festival, including a classy new water bottle. She plans to talk to Doug Heacock in his role as Swingin Tern Marketing Advisor, to see if she can procure S&T branded items for the dance. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:57. Next month s meeting is October 4th, at the home of Pam Robinson and Bob Safranek, in New Providence. Please remember that board meetings are open to all general members. If you d like to sit in, send a note to secretary@folkproject.org to get the directions to the meeting. 12 NJ Clearwater Circle of Song: First United Methodist Church, 906 Grand Avenue, Asbury Park, every third Thursday, 6:30pm; Thurs., 10/20: Led by April Mae & Catfish Outpost In The Burbs: at the Unitarian Church of Montclair, 67 Church St., Montclair (973) Doors open 7:30pm, concert at 8pm. sat., 10/1: Al Stewart, Dvae Nachmanoff; 1022: Shawn Mullins, Callaghan People s Voice Cafe: Community Church of New York Unitarian Universalist, 40 East 35th St., NYC, or (212) ; Sat., 10/1: Jenny Hurwitz, Talbot Katz; 10/15: Bev Grant/Dissident Daughters, Sharleen Leahey; 10/22: Dave Lipman, Harmonic Insurgence; 10/29: David Laibman, John Flynn Pinewoods Folk Music Club: 444 W. 54th St., #7, New York, NY 10019, (718) , www. folkmusicny.org; Mondays Irish Session at Landmark Tavern, th Avenue at 46th Street, Manhattan; The Place: House Concerts, 3pm pot luck, 4pm concert in Livingston; RSVP to jamask8@ comcast.net or (973) ; Sun., 10/9: John Flynn CD Release Concert Princeton Folk Music Society: Christ Congregation Church, 50 Walnut Lane, Princeton, 8pm, (609) $15/Members $10/$3 kids under Fri., 10/21: John Liilly Riverside Rhythm and Rhyme: Skylands Unitarian Universalist Fellowship,1811 State Route 57, Hackettstown. 6:30pm, open mic sign-up, 7pm open mic.

Sign up at enews.folkproject.org A Note... from the Soon-to-be-former-Folk-Project-Special-Concerts-chair After six years chairing the Committee, I will be stepping down at the end of 2011, which means the Folk Project needs a new Champion to chair the SC Committee! The SC Chair coordinates everything it takes to put on a show: selecting and booking performers and venues, publicizing the show, recruiting volunteers, and a myriad of other details. The results are miraculous and quite fulfilling. Each of the past Chairs of this committee have put their own stamp on Special Concerts and it could be your turn next. I have tried to bring performers that are outside the available reach of The Minstrel and also to help member performers become better players by presenting master level workshops. What make Special Concerts special next is up to you! If you are interested in learning more about the position please contact me at (908) Pam Robinson Free Celtic Harp Concert Wed., 10/12 Cranford Community Center The Friends of the Cranford Public Library present Two Sides of Celtic, featuring Celtic harpists Gráinne Hambly and William Jackson, on Wednesday, October 12, at 7:30 p.m. in the Cranford Community Center, 220 Walnut Avenue.

A County Mayo resident, Ms. Hambly won the senior All-Ireland titles on harp and concertina in She has released three critically acclaimed CDs, The Thorn Tree, Between the Showers, and Golden Lights Green Shadows. William Jackson hails from Glasgow and has been at the forefront of Scottish traditional music for nearly 30 years.
