  company

  Torche

  baby

Party

The party starts at 4 on Sunday. I appreciate people who
tell me they’re coming.

Some people were alarmed at some of the difficult music in the
booklet I sent a pointer to yesterday. (Let me know if you want
the pointer.) I just wanted all the Christmas music we play to be
more easily accessible — some of it is more suitable for Tuesdays
than for the party. We will still have the “Carols for Parties”
books, with all the old favorites.

Schedule

We will be meeting as usual on Tuesdays at 7:45pm at 233
Broadway, Cambridge. But only if enough people let me know by
Monday night that they want to come.
