I've been asked to host a regular once per month session in North Miami, and I'd love to have a good turnout of strong players, especially at the early ones.
We've initially settled on three nights, and will add more as things go well, but I'd like to get a good core of players in early, to set the standard and overwhelm any shakey-egg-weilding folkies that might perchance happen to show up.
Session rules:
1. No jerks.
2. No amps.
3. See rule #1.
4. No unsupervised bodhrans.
5. Did I mention no jerks?
The first night is this coming Tuesday, and then again on Tuesday, 18 April,and then on 16 May. If it works well, then we may finally have a regular place to play that's accessible for the Ft. Lauderdale and Miami players alike.
The owner loves having us, so it looks like we'll be staying for a while. No session this December. Back again the third tuesday of November.
Out-of-towners welcome!
A few words about it's character:
1. 90% tunes, though we've had a few songs and even a storyteller!
2. Tempos can be fairly quick.
3. Venue is very music friendly. It's actually the most music-friendly public bar I've seen.
4. Best beer selection in town.
Since it's fallen to me to assert rules, I'm going to post a couple here:
--One bodhran at a time, please
--Bones for effect or accent only: not full-blast on every tune, thanks.
--Tune it or die.
--take bodhran "lessons" to punters outside, please.
Not that these have been a huge problem. I'm just getting out in front of things.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of the players and - more importantly, the people.
