The Cantabile Renaissance Band
We played:
We will meet as usual on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place.
We played:
There will be a regular dropin meeting next week, and every
Tuesday for the next couple of months, starting at 7:45 PM at my place.
Everyone have a merry, joyous, happy, peaceful Christmas, New
Year, and whatever else you celebrate.
Several people said they wanted to come, so there will be a
regular dropin meeting tomorrow, December 21, starting at 7:45 PM
at my
place.
There’s still lots of food from the party, so we’ll have a
post-party party (Polish has a word for this) after the meeting.
We played:
The party will be this Sunday, December 19 at 5:30 PM. Please
note the later than usual start time.
I forgot to discuss whether to meet next week after this week’s
meeting, so we’ll have to do it by email. If you’ve been coming
regularly and would prefer not to come, let me know. If you would
particularly like to have a place to go play Renaissance music on
Tuesday, December 21, let me know. If I don’t hear that anyone
wants to come, I’ll cancel it, since I’m sure I’ll have lots to
do, but I’m happy to meet if people want to come.
I’ll let you know by Monday morning.
In any case, we will meet on Tuesday, December 28 and
subsequent Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place.
I don’t require RSVP’s, since there will be plenty to eat and
drink, especially if everyone who comes brings some. But if you
know you’re coming, and what you want to bring, it would be useful
if you tell me, because people ask me what to bring, and it gives
me more idea of what to tell them.
Please invite people you know who might enjoy the party,
especially if you think they might be interested in joining the
group. You can point them to all the information.
We played:
We’ll be meeting as usual on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place,
unless we decide to discuss the Tuesday before Christmas.
The party will be on December 19, starting at 5:30 PM.
Consider starting earlier than that at the concert at the
Loring-Greenough house.
I have designed two invitations:
All the graphics are by Dürer. The tagline at the top of the
foldable invitation is from To Drive the Cold Winter Away.

There might be some modification to this around Christmas, but not
before that.
This year, the only Sunday in December I could possibly have a party is
December 19. This is the day the Delight Consort, Judith Conrad,
director, with Paul Ukleja on cornetto is playing at the Loring
Greenough house, and I’d like to see it, and I suppose other
people may want to as well. The description is:
Sunday, December 19, at 3:00 pm. at the historic
Loring-Greenough House, 12 South Street, Jamaica Plain.Judith Conrad with the Delight Consort performing music
ranging from the Spanish Renaissance to 18th century England, including
Christmas music by Tomas Luis da Victoria, Michel Richard de Lalande and
Samuel Wesley and music of Turlough O’Carolan and Baroque Londoners William
Williams and Johann Christian Bach. There will be a number of jolly holiday
songs in which the audience will be encouraged to join.
So we couldn’t get started until 5:30 or 6.
Saturday, December 18 and Saturday December 11 are also free on
my calendar. We tried a Saturday party once, and several people
got parking tickets although I had requested “consideration” on the
residents-only parking restrictions. I think everyone who
disputed the ticket didn’t have to pay, but it was a bit of a
nuisance.
So if you’d like to come, tell me which of those three days you
prefer, and which you wouldn’t be able to come on. I’ll make an
executive decision in the next week or so. If there isn’t enough
enthusiasm for a weekend party, we can just bring our Christmas
baking to a regular Tuesday meeting.
We played:
The meeting next week will be in the usual time and place,
Tuesday, November 2, at 7:45 PM, at my place. Bea
has the key and will open up, and I’ll join you in progress if
closing up the polling place goes smoothly, and for a
much-deserved beer if it doesn’t.
After that, there will be normal dropin meetings for the
forseeable future.
We played:
Next week will be a regular dropin meeting; the following week
is election day, but it sounds like there will be a meeting,
either at the usual place or at Stuart’s. After that I don’t know
why there wouldn’t be regular dropin meetings for a while.
The regular dropin meetings are on Tuesdays, starting at 7:45
PM, at my place.
We played:
I don’t know of any reason why we won’t have our regular dropin
meetings on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place
through the month of October.
On November 2, election day, I’ll be working as Warden of precinct 10-3 in
Cambridge, so someone else will have to run a meeting if you want
to have one.
Speaking of election day, people who aren’t registered to vote where they live should
register today, if they want to vote where they live in November.
Most offices are open until 8 PM.
