The Minstrel is an acoustic music concert series run by the Folk Project, a non-profit folk music and arts organization. We use the facilities of the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, 21 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ. We hold shows almost every Friday, year round, and the second Friday of the month is usually an open stage/audition night. The music we present is “folk” music in its broadest sense. That is, in addition to traditional American and ethnic “folk” music (in its purist definition), we welcome music of contemporary, primarily acoustic songwriters, and other types of music more folkie in attitude than in content. Shows start at 8pm; dress is casual. We serve coffee, teas, and baked goods. There is no alcohol or tobacco on the premises. Admission is inexpensive; on our regular Friday concerts we ask $7.00 on your way in, and, if you feel the show was worth it, an additional amount at your discretion on the way out, which goes to supplement what we pay the feature performer. Children under 12 are free. For travel information, or information on shows call 973 335 9489 or visit our website at www.folkproject.org.

Fri., Oct. 1: The Steel Wheels and Jacob JohnsonWe discovered The Steel Wheels at the International Folk Alliance Convention in February, where they were the band on everyone’s lips. This is modern bluegrass done old-style around a single microphone with guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and bass. The 4-part harmony singing is passionate. And the original songs are intelligent, beautifully written, and grounded in the classic style. Opening tonight is South Carolina’s, Jacob Johnson, a one-of-a-kind solo acoustic performance artist who specializes in a style of guitar playing he calls “Neo-acoustic folk/funk”. His instrumental technique, while unconventional never loses its musicality. His lyrics, thoughtful and realistic, are delivered with wry charisma.

Fri., Oct. 8: Closed for Folk Project Festival(No Open Stage this month.) The Festival takes place in Bloomingdale, NJ from Friday, Oct 8 through Sunday, Oct 10. Featured performers are Anne Hills, Blue Moose & the Unbuttoned Zippers, Aca-Perco, and more. Attendance by pre-registration only. zhttp://www.folkproject.org/Festivals.shtml for further information.

Fri., Oct. 15: Brian McNeil and The Geezer & the KidAn Agranoff Imperative! Brian McNeill was best known as the front man for the Scottish folk supergroup, The Battlefield Band. But solo, he’s a powerhouse in his own right, bringing the instrumental chops, stage charm, and performance passion of the whole band to his solo show. He plays fiddle, guitar, and mandocello, and sings both traditional songs and his own brilliantly written material, with lyrics that have an almost Kiplingesque musicality of their own. Much of his own writing is taken from the history of his native Scotland. Our opener The Geezer & The Kid is the unlikely duo of NJ veteran folkie (and Program Chair of the Minstrel) Mike Agranoff and 18-year old fiddle champion, Connor Dugan. Agranoff’s guitar chops, songs, and wit are well known to Minstrel regulars. And Connor’s fiddle pyrotechnics are fast becoming known to the Celtic, bluegrass, contra dance, and fiddle contest scene in the

Northeast. The combination is charming and musically exciting.

Fri., Oct. 22: Jez Lowe and Paul KaplanJez Lowe is a songwriter and performer in the world of acoustic music, and a musical ambassador for his native North East England. His songs are very much of the Common Man, written with compassion, delivered with passion, and usually possessed of great singable choruses. Opener Paul Kaplan is an old fashioned songwriter who writes songs with choruses that invite singers to join without need for any verbal urging. Many are clever parodies of familiar songs. He plays guitar and quattro.

Fri., Oct. 29: Treasa Levasseur and Rebecca Loebe & Raina RoseIf you had to pick a genre to characterize the music of Treasa Levasseur, it might be “blues”. But “blues” doesn’t say the half of it. Kick-ass full-throated well-written brilliantly produced songs that often use a blues format would be more accurate and equally inadequate. Treasa plays keyboard and accordion, belts out a song like Bonnie Raitt, and explodes with a charismatic stage presence that is irrepressible. Her band of guitar and bass does justice to that music. They put on a killer show. Openers Rebecca Loebe & Raina Rose are two Georga-based singer-songwriters who have successfully graduated from local coffeehouse favorites to touring professionals, now with 3 CDs and hundreds of shows each. It only took a few moments of conversation and a few bars of harmonizing together in the summer of 2008 for the pair to form a powerful show-stopping, story-telling, folk/pop duo.

Help WantedThe publicity committee would like some help with posting Folk Project events to Internet calendars. Total time commitment is approximately 10 minutes per month. Email Nancy Kelner at nkel-ner@aol.com to volunteer.

Pelvis BurlappThere’s been a lot of attention given to certain gatherings in our nation’s capitol, while others have been totally ignored. It’s important for us folkies to stand up for the downtrodden and poorly promoted in this world, so please give your attention and kudos to these recent D.C. events, which the media completely avoided. Your Folk project dues have not been wasted; we have spent well into the single figures researching and verifying this information:

SHMEARATHON: Hundreds of hungry citizens gathered on the Mall to protest the fact that you can’t get a good bagel anymore. (Aug. 4)

PRIMATES UNITED FOR FREEDOM (PUFF): Over a thousand apes, representing over a dozen species, met in the reflecting pool, carrying signs and making high-pitched sounds, to protest the continuing assertions of many humans that they descended from apes. PUFF finds that assertion extremely degrading, and insists that the phrase “ascended from a common ancestor” be used instead. (Aug. 16)

FREEDOM OF DEPRESSED: Scads, some sources say as many as “a ton”, of sad people joined together on the Mall. They gave speeches, cried, and wondered why they bothered coming. Some complained about the stigma of society toward the depressed. Sorry, I can’t go on just now. (Aug. 21)

PROCRASTINATORS UNITED: (PeeYou): The idea was to gather in Washington and ask for more time to complete tax forms, later closing hours for post offices, and some other stuff they’ll get to later. (Date to be announced)

OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE WEARING SHORTS AND FLIP-FLOPS: This is by far the largest gathering of people ever to meet on the Mall. Wearing T-shirts proclaiming their strong beliefs in their local professional sports teams or clothing brand, they endlessly trudge aimlessly around our nation’s capitol, taking pictures and sweating profusely. (Every day)

The Triumphant Return of Headlong Retreat

If you were at the Minstrel on a certain evening in October 2008, you may remember a performance of Headlong Retreat, a kind of musical meditation on the Pilgrimage. There were singers. There were musicians. There was a narrator and a 12-member chorale. Well, it’s coming back.

This year at the Minstrel, on the evening of November 5th, Headlong Retreat will present “Hymns for Hard Times,” as well as a leavening of other material. This musical melange still features Folk Project stalwarts Ken and Pat Rolston, as well as Bill Neely, Liz Emmert and Bill Bly, who have graced our stage many times as the core of Left Field. You can expect an interesting mix of material supported by rich vocal harmonies and lively instrumental arrangements using electric and acoustic guitars, dulcimer, bass, mandolin, keyboard, trumpet, harmonica and flute. So save that date! You don’t want to miss it.

Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in New Jersey any more!

NJ Clearwater Circle of SongsAt the First United Methodist Church, 906 Grand Avenue, Asbury Park, every third Thursday, 6:30pm. Sept. 16 led by Sharleen Leahey, Mark Bodino and Ingrid Heldt

The beginning of the end:Mad Agnes goes on its final tour

Apearing Sat., Oct. 23 at the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship

We are lucky to have the musical trio, Mad Agnes, make Morristown Unitarian Fellowship one of its stops during the launch of their latest CD, “Hush”. On October 23rd, at 7:30 pm, please participate in one of the last opportunities to hear Mad Agnes in concert.

Who is Mad Agnes? From simple a cappella to breathtaking instrumentation (guitars, bass, mandolin, keyboard), the genre-bending Mad Agnes delights, incites, and heals. This trio —made up of Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones, and Mark Saunders — ”brims with funny showmanship, the most agile, rambunctious harmonies and intense beauty,” according to the Boston Herald.

Why do you have to be at this concert? Because Mad Agnes has decided that this is their last year of touring together as the Mads.

In order to accommodate families with children, we will have FREE BABYSITTING avail-able, and will run the concert straight through, so it should be over by around 9pm. Tickets are $20 each, $10 for kids (and the kids will love the music as well). Tickets on sale by calling the Michelle Kunz at (973) 945-5174 or muf.events@gmail.com.

Fool me once... Andy Koenig is planning an April Fool’s show at the Minstrel on (you guessed it!) Friday, April 1, 2011. He is looking for people to participate in it by doing things that are funny, strange, unexpected, surreal, twisted, or otherwise odd — either singly or in groups. Ideally, people will do things in this show that are not part of their standing repertoire.

If you would like to be part of the show, please contact Andy at ark@acm.org or (908) 647-3508.

Folk Project Board Meeting • August, 2010

Board Meeting: The Summary The Directors of The Folk Project… …had their southern-most meeting of the year, assembling at 8:02 at the Highland Park home of Cecilia Zeimetz-Rowedder and Allan Kugel.

Present were Lois DeRitter, Scooter Ferguson, Jim King, Nancy Kelner, Allan Kugel, Jim Gartner, Evelyn Maurer, Brad Pryor and Ruth Wolfish. (Trustees), Mike Agranoff, Pat Brangs, Carl Croce, Lori Falco, Chris Riemer, Pam Robinson, Ed Roffman, Bobbie Rosengarten, Bob Safranek and Rick Thomas (Other Board Members) and Joanne Cronin and Cecilia Zeimetz-Rowedder (Guests). Absent were Connie Crawford, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Sandie Reilly, Mark Schaffer and Jean Scully.

The minutes were accepted with some minor amendments, and Treasurer Ed Roffman reported that we’re still in the black for the year. Not making a killing, but doing fine.

President Scooter Fergusson was sad to let us know that the Storytelling Committee, which has been part of the Folk Project since 2004, has decided to end the relationship. They’ve set up their own Web site and are now running their own free-standing operation, which is centered on an annual festival each September. We wish them well.

Scooter will serve as chair for the 2010 nominating committee, which is about to begin the annual process of looking for trustees, officers and committee chairs for next year. (If you’re interested in joining this august body, you can drop him a note at president@folkproject.org.)

The standing committees made their usual reports, and we learned a thing or two:

• Rick Thomas is considering a Web-based approach to membership management, which would give us something more sophisticated than our home-grown PC database and simplify the transition between membership chairs. He’s also working on a way to deal with the increase in lapsed memberships, which he attributes to the lack of a personalized reminder for people who get their newsletter electronically.

• Nancy Kelner was happy to represent The Folk Project at a meeting of the Jersey Arts organization. Among other things, Jersey Arts places full-page ads in major papers like The Times and The Ledger, and uses them to feature four or five of their member groups. It’s something we might want to consider, and she’s looking into the details.

• On the Web front, our new site (on its new server) is officially in beta testing, and Cathy Thomas would like all board members to give it a test drive and send her their comments. She’d also like to get some more recent photographs to freshen it up a bit.

• Mike Agranoff reported that attendance was a little weak at the Minstrel in August, and we went into the red a tad. One reason is that there were an unusually large number of bands booked as openers, and that increases our costs.

• Scooter is working with Ralph Litwin and the Horses Sing None of It folks to explore the possibility of creating a Horses Sing podcast that would be distributed through iTunes. Stay tuned for further developments.

Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 9:33. Next month’s meeting is at the home of Bobbie Rosengarten, in Maplewood. Please remember that board meetings are open to all general members. If you’d like to sit in, send a note to secretary@folkproject.org to get the details.

Exciting news: After 35 years living in Morris County, Evelyn Maurer will be moving to Monmouth County, where she will have her own home. She will be living in the town of Oceanport.

Lois DeRitter greatly enjoyed sharing recent evenings of music with new people who were enthusiastic about attending their first EOM’s. Lois just returned from a summer week at music camp, sharing fiddle lessons with her daughter Lauralyn. Lois’ birthday came out on Labor Day this year, and she enjoyed seeing a major fireworks show in honor of her birthday! Carl Croce, who was actually born on Labor Day, also appreci-ates the fireworks celebrations of his birthday each year.

Cecelia Zeimetz-Rowedder’s sister, Jean, is dealing with stage 4 cancer. Prayers, medita-tion and good wishes are requested.

Joanne Herb tried to hear ‘Small Potatoes’ while attending the Pocono Garlic Festival at Shawnee Mountain, but the only ones that she could find were being fried and served along with the garlic.

Pam Robinson thanks everyone for ‘holding her dad in the light’ as he recovers from his recent illness. He is doing much better. Pam has recently been struggling with vertigo. She says, “I feel like a drunken sailor on his first day of shore leave!”

Jim Gartner vacationed recently with his sister, niece, and nephew at Long Beach Island. Jim recently joined LA Fitness, and has started working out a lot.

Pat and Paul Brangs vacationed at Martha’s Vineyard in August. They went to 2 ocean beaches, kayaked in the surf, went hiking and birdwatching. Pat said, “We had a great time at an amazing place!”

Lynn and Will Miles recently returned from Rwanda, visiting their daughter, Avery, who is there as a Peace Corps volunteer. To aid Avery in her role as a teacher, Lynn and Will are asking friends to make financial donations to www.booksforafrica.org.

They are a contemporary string band filled with epic triple fiddles, catchy melodies and driving rhythms full of raw energy and mashy quirk.

Aca~Perco

Jennie Avila, singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and Stephen Wright, drum maker and master percussionist, create a musical mandala that combine a capella vocals, guitar and spirited percussion. Conga drums, kokirekko, clay drums, ubangs, doumbeks, guntas, shakers and udu drum are visually stunning and sonically intriguing. aca-perco.com

Donna Hunt was an early stalwart and organizer of Swingin’ Tern dances. A sophisticated caller and an affirmative teacher, she presently lives in Wilmington, Delaware and is a regular caller at the Glenside Thursday Night and Saturday Night Dances and the Valley Contra Dance in Bethlehem PA. Donna has called for dances throughout New England, the Mid-Atlantic states and as far away as California.

Blue Moose and the Unbuttoned Zippers call their music “Scandilachian” a hearty stew of Norwegian, Swedish, and American tunes. They take songs and tunes, old and new, and infuse them with an almost punk-rock kind of energy, all the while respecting the traditions. They were a featured band in the Jan/Feb 2010 issue (#145) of Dirty Linen Magazine. Find out more at their web site
