June 2014 Calling All FP Musicians and Singers Cultural Exchange Request

June 2014 www.folkproject org

Calling All FP Musicians and Singers (Although my friend, Jenny would bridle at considering that singers not be included within the category of musicians.) Be part of the Minstrel's 39th Birthday show! This has been an ongoing tradition at the Minstrel since the early 80's. It's a chance to perform on the Minstrel stage to a crowd of fellow Projectiles. it's a chance to meet and play with new musicians. And it's a chance to celebrate the core value of the Folk Project that it is an organization in large part of and for players and singers. For those of you new to the Project this year, the basic premise is that we form about 20 musical duos and trios comprised of randomly chosen member-musicians. And then, each group does one song in the show. Groups may add additional member musicians to their ensemble. (Which is especially useful when two non-instrumental singers are paired up.) The groups are chosen on July 4 at our Annual Picnic. And the show will take place at the Minstrel on Friday, July 25, which this year is the actual anniversary of our opening night. You don't have to be a professional musician to be part of this show. If you're comfortable playing or singing in front of friends, then that' exactly what you will be doing. The pairings are completely random. You may be matched with someone more experienced or less experienced than you. For the "pros" this can be the opportunity to support a less experienced musician and help them have a memorable experience. For the amateurs, this will be a memorable experience. If you'd like to be part of this, the first thing to do is mark off the dates in your calendar. Friday, July 4 for the picnic, and Friday, July 25 for the show. (You do not absolutely have to be at the picnic, but it helps a lot to meet your bandmate(s), and start to plan what to play.) Full details will be in the July Newsletter, and will also be sent in mid June by email to those members whom I know to be players and singers. (If you think I may not know you as a musician, contact me at [email protected], and let me know you want to be in the show.) —Mike Agranoff Cultural Exchange Request Two high school foreign exchange students, young ladies from Thailand and Korea, have requested homes with real American guitarists. This is a great opportunity for two Folk Project families to share, learn, and enjoy our respective cultures. If you or someone you know would be interested in learning more about becoming a host family, please contact Holly Rausch at 973/271-6166 or email [email protected] who will be happy to answer any of your questions. Folk Project liaison Mark Schaffer has further details at [email protected].

More info at folkproject.org or email [email protected]. Opener Spook Handy harkens back to the type of folk performer epitomized by Pete Seeger. He plays songs of his own and other people’s writing which involve the listener. There’s stuff to sing, stuff to identify with, and stuff to make you think. Many of his songs deal with social and environmental concerns.
