Schedule

We will be having our usual dropin meetings on Tuesdays at
7:45 PM at my
place.

We will probably miss the meetings where there are elections,
i.e., November 3, December 8, and January 19, if the Cambridge
Election Committee continues to hire me to serve as an official.

We may also miss one or two more meetings in December. But for
September and October, assume there are regular dropin meetings.

Other events

I have the full program of next
Sunday’s Arts around the Block celebration up. It’s in Fall
River on Sunday, September 20 from 12:30 to 4:00 PM.

The Boston
Recorder Society year starts on Sunday, September 20. I have reservations
about what they’re doing these days, but if what you want is a
professionally coached group that meets once a month, they’re as good
a place to go as any I know about.

If you’re looking for a place to do a lot of singing,
the New England Sacred Harp
Convention is on October 3 and 4 in Byfield, Massachusetts, which
is off Rt. 95, north of Topsfield and South of Rt. 495.
