Performance opportunity

Last call for people who’d like to go the the Cider Picnic on
Sunday, October 30. Let me know if you want me to sign you up
as my guest. I’ve ordered 5 gallons of unpasteurized cider,
which is more than I need, so let me know if you want cider, too.

Meeting Report

We played:

• Vierdanck Cappricci
• Arcadelt,Dormend’un
  giorno
• Byrd, Susannah faire

Schedule

We continue to meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm at 233 Broadway,
Cambridge. But only if a critical mass of people have told me by
Monday night that they want to come.

We will not meet on November 8, Election Day. Speaking of
which, if you know anyone who isn’t registered to vote, they only
have until October 19 to register if they want to vote in November.

Meeting Report

We played:

• Lassus, Justi tulerunt spolii
• Nun freut euch, from Geistlicher lieder, 1535
• Willaert, Amor, Fortuna
• Dowland: Go, crystall teares
  and Now, o now, I needs must part

Schedule

We continue to meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm at 233 Broadway,
Cambridge. But only if a critical mass of people have told me by
Monday night that they want to come.

November 8, election day, will probably be an exception to
this. Based on what happened four years ago, it’s unlikely that
I’d be able to make any of it, and another regular has a
competing commitment, so we won’t meet that day.

Performance opportunity

The Boston Wort Processors
are having their annual Cider picnic at Cider Hill orchards in
Amesbury, MA on Sunday, October 30. If you come as my guest, you can drink lots of
cider, eat good food, and maybe play or sing some drinking songs.
Let me know if you’re interested.
