The notes come fast and hard. The thumb Inside pick on the bass strings is like a jackhammer, insistent in its driving urgency. The tempo is faster than These I’ve ever heard it before, but it seems right. Her voice is strong and Blues expressive with a whiskey-stained by Richard Cuccaro authority, peppered occasionally with a raspy growl, as she sings: Police officer, how can it be / You can arrest everybody but cruel old Stagger Lee? That bad man, cruel Stagger Lee … Her slide guitar sets up an ominous drone. So it is that Danielle Miraglia puts her own stamp on “Stagger Lee.” Of course, it’s not her own composition, but surely a cornerstone of her repertoire.

  • January 2009 What’S in a Name? Not Much
    NEWSLETTER January 2009 What’s In A Name? Not much. And consequently, it will not seriously upset the balance of power in the Western World when the news breaks that as of Jan. 1, the name of the Folk Project’s Friday night concert series will change from “The Minstrel Coffeehouse” to “The Minstrel.” “Why?“ you ask. Well, it’s a matter of expectations from the general public unfamiliar with the Folk World. Time was when “coffeehouse” was synonymous with a folk music concert series. Today it more likely conjures up visions of a place where people can gather, sip $4 cups of latté, chat and check their e-mail, while some guy with a guitar strums in a corner for tips trying to be heard over the espresso machine. We want to dispel that image in the minds of both potential attendees and some higher level performers and their agents. No big deal. Most regulars generally refer to the place as “The Minstrel” already. Those who let slip the C-word will not be flogged until they mend their ways. Emcees who do, includ- ing me from time to time, may get a razzing, but that’s to be expected. The “Coffeehouse” appellation will probably hang on for some people for as long as our previous title, “The Minstrel Show.” We dropped “Show” sometime in the early 90s, and still slips out in the conversation of some of the old-timers. The name recognition will still be there. The Minstrel will still deliver great music, every Friday, at nominal prices in an informal atmosphere, with professional quality.

So many of you helped to put this together and the entire Folk Project community thanks you. And we are working to make the Fall Festival even more delightful. Speaking of which, pre-registration for fall is under way. Performers include: • The Jeremy Kittel Band — a multitude of traditional and modern styles with a strong dose of technical mastery. • Magpie — beautifully-blending harmonies that cover the gamut of folk styles: historical, traditional, topical, modern and sing-along fun. • Toby Walker — a phenomenal finger-style guitarist playing the blues, ragtime and folk. • Grover Kemble — A consummate entertainer, blending swing, R&B, Latin and jazz. Go to www.folkproject.org/festival to learn more and pre-register (which costs nothing and does not write your name in stone). Any questions? Contact [email protected] Robin and Mark Schaffer, Festival Chaircouple July Evening o’ Music Sat., 7/14 • Callahan/Rogers Please join FP member Kathy Callahan and her partner Tom Rodgers as they host their first- ever EoM at their lovely home in Pines Lake!

The Minstrel’s 42nd Birthday Show An Invitation to All of Our Member-Musicians On Friday, July 25th, 1975, a bunch of hippie friends in a long defunct folk music club called “Project 21” got together and put on a concert in the basement of a French restaurant in Chester, NJ. That was the first of what was to become a weekly concert series called “Good, Though!” Forty-one years, three name changes, and six venue changes later, the Minstrel Acoustic Concert Series will celebrate the anniversary of that first concert with a truly unique event: our Birthday Show.
