March 9th and 23rd -Saturdays: SLOW JAMS
(Second and fourth Saturdays) from 1-3 PM. 314 East Second St. attic (up the
long driveway and up the back stairs.) For any interested folk musicians. All
experience levels welcome, including raw beginners. We may go over a piece more
than once.
Bring music or chords if you have them and share a little of what you are
working on. There will not be an audience. We just go round in a circle picking
a favorite tune, and others try to join in. Perfection not even considered!
Come join us.
March 16th: Saturday: CONTRA DANCE with music
by Bunchgrass and calling by Nora Scott, at the 1912 Center (Corner of 3rd St
and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.
Bunchgrass will return to play for again this
month. They're a relatively new local band. We've been needing some more local
bands, so this is pretty cool. And ain't we fortunate to have so many wonderful
musicians living locally that we can draw upon. Bunchgrass is a perennial clump
of musicians playing old time stringband music that isn’t bluegrass. We'll hear
the fiddle playing of Marsha Schoeffler, Cleve Yocum with his concertinas, Ron
Hudiburg on banjo and providing the rhythm, Marcus Smith on guitar and Dave
Vollmer on bass.
In keeping with the times, masks and vaccines
are optional. At this time few are wearing masks on our dance floor, and we
love to see you if you are healthy, mask or no mask. If you are sick, or
have been recently, or have potentially vulnerable folks at home, we would urge
you to avoid coming to the dance. As we trust you know, it is quite possible
Covid can be at any close public event such as this one.
Beginner? No problem- Arrive at 7:30 and
there are free lessons.
No Partner? No worry. There are lots of dancers - many would like to dance with
you. All dances are taught. Singles, families & beginners are always
welcome. Children are always FREE
Free dance lessons at 7:30, 8-10:30 Dance. Admission: $6 for members, $8 for
non-members and new dancers get in for $5
