Schedule

We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm, at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA.

Please let me know if you would like to come. This is especially important this week, since several regulars are going to be out of town, so if I haven’t heard from a quorum by the time I go to bed on Monday night, I will cancel the meeting, so that everybody can wake up on Tuesday morning knowing whether they have something scheduled in the evening.

Note that the warmup piece these days is not online yet, so if you need me to print you one, you should mention that when you say you’re coming.

Concert

The Delight Consort and the Fall River Fipple Fluters are giving a joint concert on Saturday, March 15 at The Ignition Space, 44 Troy St., Fall River, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Information from the press release is in The Fall River Herald News. if you have the right relationship to Facebook, you can see a post including the program on either my timelline or my sister Judith Conrad’s.
