Twenty-six artists performed on the Getaway Main Stage to a standing room only crowd. The Bunk Bed Band of Todd Dennison, Diane Perry, Bob McNally, yours truly, and Fil Wisneski provided expert backup twitter.com/TheFolkProject to the performers, many of whom had never fronted a live band before. My hat goes off to our Mistress of Ceremonies, Susan Lembo, John Mahon for sound, Elizabeth Lachowicz and Pat Brangs for providing the delicious snacks and Bob Cole for creating the Cabaret setting. Some exciting changes will occur at the November Open Stage. An onsite lottery will occur in real time. Performers' names will be placed in a hat and drawn at random throughout the evening. Each performer will play two songs. After everyone has had a turn, a second lottery will take place. In this : D L Graham TM second set, each performer will be allowed one song. If there is time, a third lottery will take place. Our featured act—Sherman and Siehl—will kick off the evening. The Bunk Bed Backup Band will, of course, be on hand, and the evening will culminate in an all-inclusive jam session. So if you have not been to the open stage lately please come check us out and bring the whole mishpucha. You’re : George Otto in for an exciting evening of fellowship and great music. Hope to see you all on November 10 and don’t forget to bring your friends, your kids, and, of course, your instruments. —Mitch Radler, Host of the Minstrel Open Stage facebook.com/FolkProject www.folkproject.org QUICK GUIDE TO THE INSIDE November Evening o' Music .......................................................... 2 Members’ Gigs (& Friends) .............................................................7 [email protected] [email protected] A Holiday Benefit Concert .............................................................7 Board Meeting: The Summary .....................................................10 Good o’ the Order .........................................................................11 Box 41 Mendham, NJ 07945 Newsletter Newsletter submissions E-mail: 582 Long Hill Road, Gillette, NJ 07933 Deadline is the 15th corrections/changes Membership, E-mail: c/o D L Graham 886 Ray Avenue Union, NJ 07083 Folk Project Officers: President: Steve Humphreys Vice President: Kathi Caccavale Secretary: Jay Wilensky Treasurer: Mike Agranoff Trustees: Trustees thru 2017: Kathi Caccavale, Lois DeRitter, Steve Humphreys Trustees thru 2018: Olga Alvarez, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Bob McNally Trustees thru 2019: Ken Brody, Allan Kugel, Evelyn McNally NOTE: web links in the eNewsletter are now clickable November Evening o' Music Sat., Nov. 11, 8pm • Robin and Mark Schaffer's Sat., Nov. 4: DOUBLE DANCE: 196 Mt.

In keeping with current CDC guidelines the USH Board recently decided that until further notice, all individuals entering the Meeting House will be required to wear masks. Masks will be provided for those who do not have one. In addition, seating during in-person worship services will be arranged accordingly, in keeping with social distancing concerns. Signs will be posted at the Meeting House concerning the above. Image:"Ella & Sophia", provided by Rob Spec 2 August 29th, 2021, 10:00am "Happiness In the Midst of Chaos" For the past 17 months, we have been surviving through a global pandemic that has wreaked havoc on our lives. We have quarantined, worked remotely, worn masks, socially distanced, gotten vaccinated and stayed outside whenever possible. Our children have learned from home or gotten comfortable taking mask breaks and being with cohorts. We have started seeing our friends only through a computer screen. In the midst of this chaos, is it possible to be happy? Do we just try to survive this nightmare? Can we figure out a way to live a full and rich life despite it? Or, perhaps, have we discovered something about ourselves that has led us to decide not to return to our former habits? Rob Spector, Reflection Rev.

  • Scott Malyszka by Robin Mandell
    The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon Preserving the traditions of Folk Music, Folk Lore, and Gentle Folk Ways Volume 23, Issue 9 September 2007 September 11 Showcase – Scott Malyszka by Robin Mandell September’s showcase will feature Scott Malyszka and his six buddies: E, B, G, D, A, and E; that is, Scott and his guitar. The bill of fare, Scott says, will be originals only, which promises to be a treat. Scott is already popular for his I Got Stoned at Work Today and I Don’t Have Friends Anymore, so it will be interesting to see what else he has. Ironically, it has been many years since Scott styled himself a singer/songwriter, and it’s rather by accident that he’s started writing, and performing, originals once again. Scott says that he doesn’t view songwriting as a task; it’s a very natural and organic process for him. Many ideas never develop into songs. While he takes time to refine both instrumentation and lyrics, the actual process of putting a song together usually takes less than an hour. Where do Scott’s songs come from? He likes to play with language, telling a unique story or painting a series of pictures, for example. Scott says he has a lot of songs he’s written over the years, but that he generally performs songs he thinks other people will like; sometimes, he’s been surprised by the enthusiasm shown for a particular song. What else has Scott been doing musically? He says he’s been busy, but not too busy, and that he has enjoyed the musical variety the last several months have brought him.

  • 2015-2016 Season } Greetings! }
    UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA PERFORMING ARTS 2015-2016 SEASON } GREETINGS! } It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015-2016 University of Florida Performing Arts (UFPA) Season which captures the essence of the program we have had during my 15 years as director. The essence or summation of these varied events include diversity, innovation and excellence. Opetaia Foai’i’s Polynesian band, TE VAKA, Celtic Nights – Spirit of Freedom, celebrating Irish independence, and, a night of international guitar virtuosi uphold UFPA’s longstanding tradition of echoing the university’s ever-growing diverse population and internationalization initiatives. Young concert artists will continue to be a feature of our offerings with a highlight performance of the rising stars of the Metropolitan Opera in repertory from their upcoming season as well as our array of soloists. A uniquely framed contemporary program by the Art of Time Ensemble will present the entirety of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in a uniquely innovative and artistically interpreted program that is far from a “cover band approach to the iconic work.” The evening will include two violins, two violas, two cellos, and one each of double bass, guitar, saxophone/clarinet, trumpet and drums/percussion and piano. UFPA has established itself as one of the most sought-after facilities to mount productions before heading on national and international tours. Past productions mounted in our venue have received great acclaim, such as the Pulitzer Prize Finalist, Steel Hammer. This season has the “building-for-touring” of Ragtime along with the creation and world premiere of an a cappella performance titled Vocalosity: The Aca-perfect Concert Experience, created by Deke Sharon the vocal producer of the Pitch Perfect films.

  • Ron Goad and the All New Genetically Altered Jug Band by Ron, Edited by Dan Grove
    The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon Preserving the traditions of Folk Music, Folk Lore, and Gentle Folk Ways www.RestonHerndonFolkClub.com Volume 23, Issue 11 November 2007 November 13 Showcase – Ron Goad and the All New Genetically Altered Jug Band by Ron, edited by Dan Grove I won the drawing and had to decide what to do this time… so many choices… most involving hard work to prepare… polishing, tightening, tweaking, learning, unavoidable effort to do okay, and tension. Then I remembered that this jug band I’m in did a Folk Club showcase “backing me up” some time ago. Nobody got hurt, so why not do it again? They certainly don’t have anything else to do. I fed them last time. Seemed to help. The All New Genetically Altered Jug Band has been around for years, so the name is a lie right off the bat. And the songs we do may have been new to us when we started, and they may sound like they must be new to the band, but we almost never learn anything new, so that’s a lie, too. We talk about rehearsing, but can rarely do it (we’re scattered all over the place, not just inside our heads), so will likely play whatever we can pull up from ancient memory. Should fit like a comfortable old shoe. We predictably start our shows with “Shoot ‘Em in the Pants,” because it’s a catchy song we can remember. You can hear that at www.myspace.com/ANGAJB, along with a few more ditties.
