2 January 2010 The Minstrel Acoustic Concert Series presented by Fri., Jan. 1: Closed New Year s Day Fri., Jan. 8: Open Stage We open our 2010 schedule with our monthly open stage. This is an opportunity for all acoustic musicians and singers to perform a 15 minute set. Under the direction of our host, Scooter, our open stages have gained a reputation as a welcoming and respectful venue that has attracted traveling professionals as well as the area s local musicians. For info visit Fri., Jan. 15: The Frank Vignola Trio and Jean Rohe Frank Vignola is counted among the world s greatest jazz guitarists. His playing is brilliant, innovative, tasty, and unbelievable in its virtuosity. The rest of the trio, guitarist Vinny Raniolo and bassist Gary Mazzaroppi, gather no dust either, and are in perfect synch as an ensemble. 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. Our opener Jean Rohe was picked specifically to complement Vignola. Jean is familiar to many Minstrel regulars, having played for us since a child as part of the Rohe Family Band, and then on her own in opening and feature sets. She has put flexible voice, comparable to that of Nora Jones, to everything from folk standards to blues to Brazilian samba, but she has a great feel for the American Songbook repertoire that Frank knows so well. Look for a number of collaborative pieces between the two acts. Fri., Jan. 22. Aztec Two-Step and Craig Bickhardt The venerable duo Aztec Two-Step are true icons of the post '60's folk-rock genre. Rex Fowler and Neal Schulman's music is filled with poetic image-laden lyrics, close harmony singing, and sparkling guitar work. They've not stopped writing, and their new work is as exciting as their classic "Persecution & Restoration of Dean Moriarty" that graced the FM airways in They also pay homage to their predecessor harmony duo, Simon & Garfunkel with some great renditions of their music. We booked Craig Bickhardt to open for Aztec specifically to lure some of the expected big crowd to see him at his upcoming headline show at the Minstrel on March 26. As a Nashville songwriter, Craig has written over 800 songs for such luminaries as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Tony Rice. He is also a strong performer of these songs, with powerful guitar work and emotional delivery. Fri., Jan. 29: Dugan s Hooligans and Robin Greenstein Dugan's Hooligans (rescheduled from Oct. 09) is the family band of 17-year-old fiddler Connor, 16-year -old harper, whistle player, singer, and stepdancer Sharlys, and a couple of assorted parents on keyboard and percussion. The kids are the real stars, and they play mostly Irish music with a proficiency that belies their ages. And they are at that age when they are soaking up new material like a sponge, and processing it as only the prodigal virtuoso can. According to one veteran player, playing with Connor is like trying to drink from a fire hose. You need make no compensation for their youth to marvel at their music. Watch for these kids in the future and remember that you saw them when. Opener Robin Greenstein is a Kerrville finalist songwriter with a strong traditional music background. She is also an excellent guitarist and banjo player. UPCOMING: 2/5: Legendary Scottish songster ARCHIE FISHER; 2/12: FOLK PROJECT VALENTINES SHOW; 2/19: Funny man JOHN FORSTER; 2/26: Vocal wizard & songwriter MARTIN SWINGER; 3/5: Fiddle legend JAY UNGAR & MOLLY MASON; 3/12: OPEN STAGE; 3/19: RED MOLLY harmony trio; 3/26: Brilliant songwriter CRAIG BICKHARDT 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.

4 presents Music is my earliest memory. All but one of my grandparents were musicians, all but one of my siblings are too. Nearly everyone discouraged me from pursuing solo bass, but I never let go of the passion I felt for it. Rarely am I ever bored. I feel lucky to have realized so many of my dreams. Nowadays I never seem to have enough time to practice. Growing and learning are my continual goals.

7 Folk Project Annual Membership & Board Meeting Dec. 1, 2009: Board Meeting: The Summary Call to order: The meeting was called to order at the Chimney Rock Inn at 8:04pm by President Mark Schaffer. Presidential Address: Mark welcomed the assembled multitudes. He reminded us that we run almost 100 events a year and have more-orless covered our expenses each year for over 30 years a pretty impressive management record for an all-volunteer organization! The backbone of the Folk Project is our Committee Chairs. Thanks to all of you! And Thanks! to everyone for tolerating him as our President for two years. Acceptance of the minutes: the minutes of November were accepted by acclamation. Treasurer s Report: Eddie reported that we are about $8,000 ahead for the year. In this recessed economy, that s fantastic! Keep on doin what you do! The money is just the smallest trace of the effort it represents. Thanks to everyone. Andy felt that, after a year of experience with the job, there was not enough work for the Finance Committee to justify its continued existence as a separate Committee. He requested that the duties of the Finance Com. be folded into the Treasurer s Office. There was general agreement, and applause for Andy for a job well done! This recommendation is reflected in the Nom. Committee s report. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Web&Publicity: Mark is learning to do some of the technical stuff. He s got expert help from Cathy Thomas, Barb Moo, and others. The target date for cutover to the new web site is still Dec. 31, 2009, but it s running late. George Otto was presented with the Folkie award of a bottle of single-malt in commemoration of his retirement from the Board after 15 years volunteering as our Publicity and Web-site Chair. Pam handed out some of the newly reprinted Folk Project business cards that list our various activities and the Website. Newsletter: Carl reports that he was able to negotiate a deal with the printer that will result in a significant savings in the monthly cost of printing the Newsletter. Minstrel: Mike reports that our attendance is holding steady and we are still managing to show a small profit, even though we have seen a rise in our rent this year. No admission price increase is planned for the foreseeable future. Relations with the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship remain excellent. Good evidence of that was that MUF agreed to change the date of their tag sale, which would have preempted one of our shows, to coincide with our Festival when we are already closed. Volunteers: Sandie says that Amy s help this year has been invaluable! She still needs volunteers. They have a new plan to make it easier to volunteer and easier for the Head Staff people to run the shows. Finance: Andy handed out copies of the year-end report from the Vanguard account. He reminds us that markets are volatile and may change. Mark thanked him for doing a job that few others could have done as well. Pam noted that the ACMA grant requires one or more person from the Folk Project to attend an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) sensitivity training session. She and Alison will attend. Special Concerts: Pam reported that, since it was re-formed under her leadership in 2007, the Special Concerts committee has managed to continue to break even financially. Upcoming in 2010: Tern Swings! on Jan. 30; Michael Manring on Feb. 4. The committee is working on setting up a new workshop series for the spring and has plans for some other great events as well. Membership: Pat gave a brief Membership update. The number of current member households and individual members is similar to the figures reported at the Annual Meetings of the last two years, although new members continue to lag behind expirations. It should be noted that a number of non-renewals are temporary and folks rejoin at a future date. The Minstrel and Festival play an increasingly important role in attracting new members. Supporting memberships have increased somewhat, an encouraging sign in these difficult times. Nearly 35% of member households now receive their newsletters electronically. She pointed out that it s not just numbers it s participation and how active our members are. We have some people who do a lot and a lot of people who do some. Merchandise: Margaret reported that this year we got new T-shirts, which made their debut at the Spring Festival. We still have a good number in stock although we are out of some sizes. We also got new mugs, also a hot seller. We also still have Folk Project bumper stickers. We are sold out of "Rise Up Singing" so she will order another case. Internal Affairs: Mark reports for the absent Jean that we had fun this year; we'll have fun next year. We need a January evening of music. Valentine's Day made lots of money. Festival: Lori reports that we held two festivals in Both were well attended, with attendance over 190 in both cases. Financially, the spring festival turned a profit and the fall festival broke even. The festival is now well established at the Star Lake camp, where we moved in 2008, and appears to be financially secure. Our main goal for 2010 is to attract more dancers to the festival. We hope to accomplish this by creating a special dance ticket that will allow dancers to come to the festival on Saturday to participate in an afternoon dance, dinner, the concert and an evening dance. We are currently working with the Swingin Tern committee to iron out the specifics. In 2009 we made great strides in adding programming for children and families and we will continue to enhance this program in Community Affairs: Elizabeth reports that we will not have a table at the next NJ Folk Festival at Rutgers. It s just not worth the effort it takes for the minimal amount of interest it generates. Swingin Tern: Connie reports by that the Harvest Hoot was a great dance many thanks to Mark and the FP musicians. We had an enthusiastic contingent of dancers through to the end of the dance at midnight. The Nov. 7 dance had low attendance due to competition from the World Series. (Who knew dancers like baseball?)?upcoming events are the New Years Eve dance, the January 2 Anniversary dance and Tern Swings on Jan. 30. The NYE dance has a wonderful caller from New Hampshire, Nils Fredland. The church agreed that the NYE decorations can go up on Dec. 30 and stay up for the Anniversary dance. Sound: Bob reports that this year all of the FP microphone stands were refurbished. We also acquired a Speaker Processor for use at Festival. It has made for a noticeable improvement in the sound quality in the concert hall. Fellowships: Scooter reports that Jim Gartner will take the place of Jim West who will be retiring from the Board, and hence from the Committee. HSNOI: Ralph reports that Comcast Cablevision of NWNJ will no longer carry the show unless we can find a non-profit in the cablecast region to "sponsor" it. Apparently, Comcast bought the company some time ago and they are now enforcing their policy of charging out-ofregion non-profits (as well as individuals & businesses) for airtime. This is the same policy that cut in half the number of towns getting the cablecast through Comcast (Somerville, NJ). On the upside, Al Podber (Furry Bros.) has enthusiastically agreed to submit HSNOI for public access cablecast on Brooklyn Community Access Television (BCAT), possibly starting in early Storytelling: Rivka would like to step down as Storytelling Committee Chair; she is looking for someone to take over. Carol Titus is helping her in the search. Ed reported that Grounds For Sculpture is happy with their relationship with the Storytelling Festival and has sent us a $2000 check. This will be distributed to the tellers/performers who made it happen. Nominations Committee: The Nominations Committee s slate of Trustees and Officers for 2010 was elected by acclimation of the assembled members. Mark then passed the gavel to Scooter for the Adjournment: which was at 9:40 PM. The January meeting will on Jan. 5 at Ruth s house in Bedminster. 12 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. Robin Schaffer keeps on drumming. Her performances with Music Town have been well received. She recently expanded her drumming repertoire into Jazz and bluegrass. New FP prez Scooter Ferguson, took over driving responsibility for Margaret Crowl s red Honda with only 280,000 miles on it. Scooter looks great driving a car painted in only one color. He is aiming at 500,000 miles. Mark Schaffer s parents love and miss the Folk Project now that they have settled into their new life in PA. In spite of the miles, they all had a great Thanksgiving together. Thomas Lachowicz is going before a review board at the Missouri Military Academy. We expect him to be wearing a new stripe on his uniform in upcoming holiday pictures. Jim King has been taking audiences on trips to Bedford Falls, in December Hunterdon County stage performances of It s a Wonderful Life. Rick Thomas continues to enjoy his new responsibilities as a research programmer. He is working on interesting and important projects, and continues learning too. Last year, Andy Koenig envisioned that the high tech Moog guitar and the Chapman Stick instrument should share technology. He recommended this to the two product managers and they are now working on a collaborative effort. Margaret Crowl has a new job as pastor of the Kitchell Memorial Presbyterian Church in Hanover. She will be moving into a new home in Hanover shortly; she says that it will be good for FP parties. Margaret s old sailboat is now in the hands of FP member Matt Reilly, who recently got his learner s permit. Matt s mom, Sandie, warns us all to be careful on the roads!
