Annual Birthday Show An Invitation to All of Our Member-Musicians

We've had a lot of new musicians join the Folk Project this year. So some of you may not know about this annual highlight of the Minstrel's schedule. On Friday, July 24, we will celebrate the Minstrel's birthday with a unique show featuring about 40 or 50 of our Member Musicians. Here's how it works: On Saturday, July 4, we will hold our annual Folk Project Picnic at Ed Roffman's house in Randolph. There, we will collect the names of all members who want to participate in the show on index cards. (Remember index cards?) We shuffle up the cards, and then deal them out into about 20 piles of randomly combined duos and trios. Each group thus formed then has 3 weeks to work up one song per group. If you like, you can add additional musicians to the group, so long as they are FP members. And that's the show on the 24th. Like the Valentine's Day Extravaganza or last week's Summer Songs show, it's one more opportu-nity the Folk Project offers our members to take the stage at the Minstrel.

A few details:

You do not have to be at the July 4th picnic to take part in the show, but it does help to get a head start in meeting your band-mates, and choosing your material.

Note that this is not the same thing as the Tom Paxton 40th Anniversary Concert of the Minstrel. That's the following evening, Saturday, July 25.

I will send an invitation with all the details about how to take part in the show to all mem-bers whom I know to be singers and players in early June. If you're new to the Project, or if you don't think I'm aware of you as a musician, send me an email at Minstrel@FolkProject.org and let me know you are interested in taking part. (It's not a commitment. It'll just assure that you get an invitation.)

This has always been a high point of the Minstrel's schedule, and a shining example of the Folk Project's goal of fostering the making of music, as well as presenting it. So put those dates in your calendar: July 4, the picnic; July 24, the Birthday Show.

Take part and celebrate the Minstrel's Birthday and ourselves.

Fri. 6/5: The EastRiver Chinese EnsembleThe music of EastRiver Ensemble may be unfamiliar, but their virtuosity is unmistakable. These guys cook! These alumni of state-run orchestras of north China resettled in NYC. They perform a mixed repertoire of classical, folk-era pop, and quizzical fusion, interspersed with a narrative to lend history and drama to the music. The players are Xiao Xiannian (the stone-faced lead) on yangqin (Chinese dulcimer), Julie Tay (the chatty group marshal) on percussion, Guo Zhaoshun (the earnest silent one) on pipa and ruan (lutes), Eddie Zhang (the cocky highbrow) on dizi and xun (flutes), Feifei Yang on banhu and erhu (fiddles), and Jiaju Shen on pipa.

Fri. 6/12: Open StageThis is an opportunity for all acoustic musicians to perform a 15-minute set on our stage, and for the audience to be treated to a diverse collection of acoustic musicians. We’ve often seen previews of our regular scheduled acts for the first time at Open Stage. For information on how to secure a performance slot, call 973/335-9489, or visit www.OpenStage.FolkProject.org.

Fri. 6/19: Carla Ulbrich with Joe GiacoioA fan favorite on the long-running, nationally syndicated Dr. Demento show, award-winning songwriter

and general smarty-pants, Carla Ulbrich has been compared to the likes of Ray Stevens, Christine Lavin, Jerry Seinfeld, Chet Atkins, and Jewel. (The guy who said

“Jewel” had been drinking heavily.)

Joe Giacoio has an unconventional outlook to music. It manifests itself in quirky, funny, and sometimes absurd songs accompanied by an unusual 2-hands-on-the-fretboard guitar technique. Joe and headliner Carla Ulbrich are husband and wife,

so I imagine we may see some collaborative effort on some of his songs.

Fri. 6/26: Toby Walker and A Personal History of the BluesThe Blues Revue summed it up neatly. Toby Walker is “...a brilliant remarkable guitarist. A pinch of Piedmont, a dash of Delta, a solid Chicago undercurrent minus the amplification, but not the electricity.” At home with both wooden and steel guitars, Toby plays the classics as well as his own songs with an open style and a dash of humor. And as an extra bonus for us, this internationally celebrated master of the acoustic guitar is a Morris county resident and a Folk Project member.

Through humorous stories, soul stirring songs, and a visual slide show, Toby Walker will take you on a tour of the deep south, where he personally learned the Blues from the old time musicians who lived, breathed, and played this music. You’ll see Etta Baker, who at 80 years of age not only was still a master of fingerpicking guitar but had just finished shingling the roof of her house!! You’ll hear about the 68-year-old Blues musician James ‘Son’ Thomas, who, despite having a recent gun-shot wound in his side, was still managing to entertain two girlfriends less than half his age! These are but two of the many musicians who taught Toby the songs that he will play for you during this show. Additionally, Toby will be using numerous instruments such as a one-string diddley bow, National Steel guitars, harmonicas, and even a cigar box guitar.

CalanNew ambassadors of Welsh Cool...

Calan bring together the remarkable tal-ents of 5 young musicians giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies, foot tapping tunes and spirited and energetic performances of Welsh step dancing.

With their unique instrumental blend of accordion, fiddle, guitar, Welsh pipes, Welsh harp and the percussive sound of the Welsh clogs, Calan has certainly found its musical niche and its plan is to continue to delight audiences far and wide!

Want to Crowdfund a Folk Movie?Note: this request came into our mailbox to pass on to our membership.

You love folk music. So do we. For several years I have been making a documentary about the young poets and songwriters who come to New York City to use their folk music and poetry for social change, much the same way the early Beat poets (Kerouac, Ginsberg) and songwriters (Dylan, Seeger) did in the late 50s and early 60s in Greenwich Village (where I live). We have original interviews with Dave Van Ronk, Tom Paxton, Richie Havens, Ronnie Gilbert, Peter Yarrow, and many others, as well as lots of wonderful archival footage. The film is still in production and we'd love it if you could spread the word. Please take a look....www.RenegadeDreamers.com.

June Evening o' MusicSat. 6/13, 8pm • Mario's Restaurant

140 Hwy 10 (westbound side), Randolph, NJ • 973/537-0444

Hosted by Mike and Christine Del Vecchio who say … “’Our house is a very very very fine house’ indeed, but it ain’t big enough for all our folkie friends!” So, we’ll take over their favorite Italian res-taurant for an evening of singing and playing. Mario’s has generously offered to stay open until 1am for us despite their usual earlier closing time. Two separate and rain-proof jamming spaces will be available. There will be a table for food and dessert contributions, but let’s face it folks … this is a RESTAURANT and good food is built right into the location. How about ordering a pizza, salad, sub or a tray of garlic bread from Mario’s fine kitchen for the table? (Check out their menu at www.mariosfamouspizza.com.) Just think of the free hand you’ll have for carrying more musi-cal instruments and song books!

Directions: a word to the GPSwise–“140 Hwy 10” has worked in the past, but it’s not a guarantee. Better to incorporate the instructions below for a sure thingFROM POINTS NORTH, SOUTH, AND EAST: Rt. 287 to Rt. 10 West; in about 5.5 miles there will be a traffic light with Sunoco on the left and Exxon on the right; soon after you will see Honda and Hyundai dealerships on the right; then in a little while, look for a McDonald’s also on the right. THE NEXT DRIVEWAY ON THE RIGHT after the McDonald’s will bring you into the parking lot of the restaurant. Also in the parking lot, you can see a PNC Bank and a large white sign for LA Fitness. Mario’s is in the very corner of that L-shaped shopping center.FROM POINTS WEST: Rt. 10 East to the Salem Street exit in Randolph; make a U-turn back onto Rt. 10 West and follow directions above from the McDonald’s reference.

Another Bonus Evening of Music!Sat. 6/27, 7pm • Nancy and Tim's

79 DeMott Lane, Somerset, NJ • 732/354-0803

Wait! No more 4th Saturday Evenings of Music? I'm not sure we can get along with just one every month.

For June, the problem is solved. There will be a Bonus Evening of Music on Saturday, June 27th, hosted by Tim and Nancy Weinrich. It will be preceded by a pot-luck dinner at 6pm, with the music beginning at 7pm. If it is half as much fun as the one the Roffman's put on every month, it will be well worth attending.

Directions: take exit 10 from Route 287 onto Easton Avenue (527) towards New Brunswick; after you pass Willow Avenue, take the ramp and make a right onto DeMott Lane. Their house comes up in about a half-mile on the right, #79, a beige one-story house with a black mailbox. Probably best to park on the street.

Good o’ the Order(Community News)

This is a place to share news about memorable events and challenges you have faced in the past month with your Folk Project Community�

Please send items to Joanne Cronin, joannelcronin@optonline�net

Andrew Hines reports that his wife, Barbara Wesby Hines, has retired from the Livingston school system after 26 years. She is not retired from the workforce. If anyone has information on oppor-tunities for her such as guidance counselor, social skills group for kids, mentoring kids in family life, working with children, etc., Barbara is a social worker and would be very interested. She also has been dancing at Swingin' Tern and absolutely loves it.

Mark Schaffer: Their last child graduates from college this month. Mark and Andrew are working busily with engineers on the Sherpa Screen guide prototype. Mark is also enjoying playing with his grandson who has been given a Strumstick by the McNallys. His grandson knows about 40 words so far, and the 41st was "guitar," as in, "play guitar now?" when Grandpa arrives. Mark is thrilled that he can share music with such a young child through such a great and simple instrument, and it occurs to him that this is what the Folk Project is about: sharing music.

Elizabeth Lachowicz: had a small gig at a private Cinco de Mayo party over the weekend with a new blues band, and it was the best Betsy Rose ever: a big party, music all day long. She's looking forward to playing with a whole new group of music friends. She will be visiting Rick and Cathy Thomas in Washington State in a couple weeks. The job hunt has been going hot and heavy, includ-ing involvement with the Professional Services Group of Central New Jersey, headquartered in Somerville, which used to be part of the NJ Department of Labor until the governor cut all the funding This group provides outplacement services, resume writing services, and training. Elizabeth has become part of their training committee, and instead of shadowing a class, she was delivering training—her career—which filled her heart with joy and will provide relevant resume-ready expe-rience. They are also a volunteer-run organization which focuses on giving back. Once someone lands a job, they can help out the newly jobless. She is looking forward to both using and provid-ing their services. Lastly, she is selling a 2008 Buick Lucerne, 80,000 miles, good shape, for $7K. The market price is about $11K. Contact Elizabeth for details.

"After only a few weeks on the job, Miles Regan's part-time position became full-time! He works at Sound Lounge post-production studio in NYC and loves it," says proud mom Lindsey Meyer�

The Projectile formerly known as Alice Weimer has legally changed her name to Alicia, which is pronounced “a-LEE-see-a.”

Christine DeLeon is excited to report getting some great concert tickets. She will be seeing the Indigo Girls and Graham Nash at Bergen PAC.

Barrett Wilson's dad's memorial service is May 29th in Buffalo. Barrett is going up right after Festival and will be seeing a lot of relatives at the memorial. Afterwards, he will be driving out to Wisconsin to pick up his sister and they will be spending time in Bethlehem, PA. He expects to be back well after our June Board meeting.

Lois DeRitter says that there is a one-person show on Woody Guthrie coming up on October 27th in a series called "Tuesdays with Stories," at Raritan Valley Community College. This is an excellent series. The noontime show is $10, evening $20–25.

Joanne Cronin missed the board meeting because she was sleeping off jet lag and the afteref-fects of the red-eye cross-country flight after a wonderful week in Portland Oregon, where she and her friends wore down a lot of shoe leather. Portland deserves a Folk Project West. Who wants to come help start it?

Diane Perry bought herself a boat and went out in it for her birthday last week...not a yacht, sorry! Her secondhand little inflatable fishing boat with a trolling motor is just right for her. Fishing, anyone?

A Getaway NoteDear Folk Projectiles,

July 4th is particularly special this year. At 12:01 a.m. on July 4th registration opens for the Fall Acoustic Getaway, October 9–11, 2105. The Spring Getaway sold out extremely fast, two months early, and raises two questions of philosophical and practical import: Why? and Why? To answer the first question, it sold out because people who come once love it and come back again and again: because the entertainment and connection to the performers creates a valuable experi-ence at an amazingly low cost; and because national press coverage didn’t overlook the gem in your own backyard. The second question is a lot harder to answer. How can we know why you’ve never joined us? It’s a mistake you can correct starting July 4th at 12:01.

Sincerely, The Getaway Gang

Major Folk Music ExhibitJune 17 to November 29

The Museum of the City of New York presents Folk City: New York and the Folk Music Revival, a celebration of the City’s role as the center of the folk music revival from its beginnings in the 1930s and 1940s to its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as its continuing legacy. With a wide array of memorabilia, including photos, video and sound recordings, the exhibition documents the music and movement that helped transform Greenwich Village and spread as a major cultural phenom-enon. Folk City opens on Wednesday, June 17, and remains on view through Sunday, November 29.

Folk City will feature listening stations where visitors can hear a range of folk songs along with videos showcasing historic footage that capture the bohemian spirit of Greenwich Village in the 1950s and the national hootenanny craze of the 1960s. The exhibition also showcases rare archival photographs, concert posters, and original instruments including

¤ Lead Belly’s 12-string guitar,

¤ Odetta’s iconic guitar “Baby” along with one of her colorful kaftan dresses,

¤ The original handwritten manuscript of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind,”

¤ The napkin on which Eric Andersen wrote his “Thirsty Boots” lyrics,

¤ A trademark felt cap worn by Phil Ochs,

¤ Handwritten letters by Woody Guthrie and Peter Seeger, and more.

The museum is located at 1220 5th Ave, New York, NY.

ADMINISTRATION:PRESIDENTS REPORT: Barrett is attending a Grant Writing workshop hosted by Morris Arts on May 12th. They are offering grant money at this time. Mark Schaffer and Stephanie Macias are attending an earlier session on the same day. Anyone can go, but must register. Bob McNally requests that people submit thoughts to him about items to consider for Trademark. This will be heard in the future. Elizabeth will run the June meeting in Barrett’s absence. Barrett repeated that Bill Dodds is our accountant moving forward. The NJ charitable orga-nization filing was done by Mike Agranoff. Domain must be renewed 7/1. Alan will check with Chris Riemer on term. http://bit.ly/1Pq8U68

SECRETARY: The April 2015 minutes were accepted. Moved by Elizabeth to accept; seconded and passed unanimously.

TREASURER’S REPORT: Treasurers Report / Dept P&L & Operational P&L at bottom http://bit.ly/1Hk5VVJ

NEW BUSINESSMerchandising: Elizabeth is working on this. The position is being reviewed to see whether it is appropriately still a board position, or just reduce it to an inventory type position. Jay Wilensky suggested that maybe member CD’s could be included. Elizabeth capped the discussion asking for suggestions moving forward, to be heard in June. Barrett stated that eliminating this as a board position helps streamline our large board.

Trademarking: Bob McNally will be reporting on this issue at the June meeting.

COMMITTEE REPORTSMINSTREL BOOKING: Mixed month with average attendance of 89.3 for regular shows and 71 including open stage. The month ended $95 in the black. Starting July, Open Stage will be in Terrace Room, IF there is A/C. There are only 29 tickets remaining for the 40th Anniversary concert. (Note: Now Sold Out!) Michael states he is con-sidering a second concert. FP should make about $1,600 on this event. Please email opinions. Should this be a board decision? Much discussion ensued. How does Tom Paxton feel? How will Volunteers feel? Straw poll shows eight people against even considering this. Michael withdrew the idea. Capacity is 450, but the feeling is; 400 is better. There will be three openers performing two songs each, with Tom performing two 45 minute sets. Kudos to all who put this together. This event will be covered by the press. Other new bookings: Mike Miz 9/4; Andrew Dunn and Pete Fischman & Deb O’Hanlon in 10/23 & David Roth 1/29/2016. http://bit.ly/1B3SPXO

SPECIAL CONCERTS: Calan concert is on the website. Alan & Scooter are producing UKE NJ 3 8/28–30 at MUF, including Lil Rev, Christine DeLeon, Jim & Liz Beloff, Sara Mazel, Craig Chi & others. No news on NY Uke fest. No tent will be rented until presales hit 75, this year’s breakeven point. Then the breakeven will be 90. Catering to be provided by Scooter’s friend. Tent is $1,300. Paul requested that PR be provided earlier than last year. There may be some kind of breakfast snack. Summer Songs was a huge success and made over $100. Should be back next year. http://bit.ly/1HnjRB6

SWINGIN’ TERN: April was good. We made $98 (not $108 as reported). There are sponsors for dances, so they should earn a profit. We made a profit the last nine out of ten dances. http://bit.ly/1EOiGUe

HSNOI: Ken not at meeting http://bit.ly/1EbTHcU

E-COMMERCE: Added many contacts due to Paxton registration process. http://bit.ly/1JPHlfG

INTERNAL AFFAIRS: http://bit.ly/1bWRZFO

PUBLICITY: Renewed Morris County Tourism Bureau membership. Passed out MC Visitors Guide and dis-cussed the ad. Nancy working on publicity for the East River Chinese Ensemble. A coupon in the Guide was

discussed. Rewrite ad next time. Cathy Ballard can’t perform duties and we would love to get a replacement. http://bit.ly/1e7oRxe

NEWSLETTER: George absent. Mike Agranoff suggested printing fewer newsletters due to the growing num-ber stored in the bin at MUF. http://bit.ly/1d7mOJn

COMMUNITY SERVICES: Pat absent http://bit.ly/1Hnmd2X

MINSTREL STAFFING: Lois reported that she was missing ticks and asks that the system be looked at. The sign in sheet has improved things. Discussion about what is an appropriate donation food for bakers. Some have been bringing items such as popcorn or Doritos. Barrett & Amy will sort this out. Barrett looking into more automated method of volunteer sign up on website.

MEMBERSHIP: http://bit.ly/1EOm8yf

SOUND REINFORCEMENT: Mike DelVecchio raised the issue of purchasing new monitors prior to Getaway. There was much discussion on this with an expected cost between $1,800 to $2,500. There was no quorum to vote on the matter and discussion turned to alternate methods of conducting a vote. The Secretary was asked to use email to electronically collect a vote on a Motion to authorize the purchase of four monitors and acces-sory equipment for the use of the Folk Project at a price not to exceed $2,500.00.

GETAWAY: SOLD OUT! Going fine. The entertainment will be great. The wedding plans have been trying but wonderful. We are a great community. July 4th is registration kickoff for Fall Getaway registration. There was dis-cussion regarding refund policy and Mark is still considering the issue with the Committee. http://bit.ly/1cGO9Ba

Motion to adjourn was seconded. Elizabeth discussed that it would be nice if people would stick around dur-ing Good of the Order.

Meeting adjourned at 10pm

Next Meeting: 8pm on June 2nd at the home of Jay Wilensky and Marie Trontel 1111 South Branch Drive, in Whitehouse Station

Meet the Board: Jay WilenskyThe Folk Project became my second home twenty years ago, when I went to some obscure place called Mendham to catch a friend's band as an opening act. I heard the music, met some Projectiles, caught the vibe, and thought, "I've been looking for this my whole life."

Since then, through the Project, I've met the love of my life and my dearest friends. And, I've heard and presented amazing music, and had opportunities to make music that I could only have dreamed of.

Becoming a trustee on the Board of Directors seemed like a natural progres-sion. I've been shooting my mouth off long enough that it was time to take some responsibility.

What are my functions as a trustee? I have no idea whatsoever; non-anatom-ical suggestions are welcome.

My advice to volunteers would be, "If it interests you, go for it; and if it doesn't exist, create it." And keep in mind that our guiding spirit is Mickey Rooney: "Hey, kids, let's put on a show!"

My dream volunteer job would be to introduce the Kennedys, and say that the Strangelings' midnight set under a full moon at Falcon Ridge was the most exciting live music experience ever. Wait—I've done that. Well, it would be to introduce Christine Lavin, and say that she's enriched my life immea-surably by introducing and supporting my favorite singer-songwriters. Wait—I've done that. Etc.

What a privilege it's been, and continues to be.

Sat. June 6: KEN GALL & ENTWYNEDTwy Bethard: fiddle, keyboard, foot percussion • John Paolillo: mandola, Irish bouzouki, octave mandolin—Contras

To the tune of "Spoon River" by Michael Smith

All of the river boat gamblers have come out to dance,To hear Ken Gall calling as Entwyned beckons all to prance,

But you know and I know, there has always been a good chance,All of our lives were Entwyned to begin with,

Here on the dance floor.

All of the calico dresses, the gingham and lace,Are out on the dance floor with gentlemen of proper grace,

There's words whispered down in the dance line, a shadow to face,The dance hall is blissful, one more twirl and hey,

Here on the dance floor.

Come to the dance, Swingin’ Terners, I like you right well,The contra’s preserved, if you listen you'll hear all the bells,

There must be a heaven, in East Hanover it does dwell,Come in from outside, come and dance through the evening,

Here on the dance floor.

Sat. June 20: SUE DUPRÉ & WES and FRIENDSAdam Oleksa: violin • Jane Roberts: cello • Bob Stein: accordion • Wes Steenson: guitar—Contras & SquaresEvery day is a cabaret when Sue Dupré gets underway with her bouquet of hey ballet and fey sashay. Don’t delay or risk dismay by saying nay to this sway soi-ree. Don’t second guess but reassess; Friends of Wes play with finesse. Prepare your tress, dress to impress; fun you’ll possess when you say yes.
