Hi All!
The gig on Sunday went well, although the turnout for dancers was light. I'm guessing many people didn't realize that the dance had been moved one day. Perhaps July will be better...but it is the 4th of July weekend, sort of. Which brings me to my next subject: upcoming gigs.
We are on the calendar for July 7th and August 4th, so mark yours, and practice, practice, practice! I know I will. Okay, I know I need it more than anyone else, but please don't throw me out of the band just yet! Gabrielle is working with me on learning harmonies, so I will finally be an asset to the band instead of that 'slow-fingered penny whistler (but we have to keep her because she belongs to Neil).'
New pieces: Joe wants us to be ready to play "The Moon and Seven Stars," and "Ten-Penny Bit," so be sure to focus on those. Any chance we can get "Water Mouse" going, Jane? Also, please take a look at "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms." Janis, Neil, Gabrielle and I can already play it. If we can add Joe, Ray, Shelley, Bob, and Jane that ought to be enough, doncha think? We have a very large band, don't we? Some of you may already know it. It is in the nature of a chestnut, IMHO. Bob, you might want to try the Autoharp on this one as it is a very sweet waltz.
Let's all hope that Clarence gets the ac fixed soon!!!

Having any luck finding the music to Believe me... or should I look through my books?
Also my fiddle teacher, Michelle, suggested Out on the Ocean instead of Kesh to go with Road. What do you think?
Janis
Well, I found out it takes some minutes for comments to post so I'll be more patient next time.
Yes, I have the music to Believe Me. I have it in my Irish songbooks. Would you like me to mail you a copy or scan it into the computer and e-mail it to you as a PDF?
