Richard Morse Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Now that our Northeast Concertina Workshops event is behind us we've been able to focus on our Northeast Squeeze-In coming up this fall. I think that this is our 18th? We're back to our usuals - same time slot (3rd weekend in September), same format, same shenanigans. For those who've not made it to one of these, check out the reviews of year's past to get an idea of what goes on there. We've also just posted a very tardy review of the most recent 2006 NESI here with many photos (you know who you are!). I hope to be seeing many of you there this fall! -- Rich -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labor Day weekend would have worked for me, but I have a major conflict in 2nd half of September. So once again I must pass up the opportunity to see, hear, and meet other tinas and their players. I had to pass up NECW this April, and now this. Oh well, I'll keep reading here and squeezin' away. Still, thanks to Rich and his staff for putting these on -- keep up the good work and I'll make it one of these years. --Mike K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animaterra Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 September is almost here, school is about to begin, so can NESI be far behind? I am so looking forward to it! Who will be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdormire Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 September is almost here, school is about to begin, so can NESI be far behind? I am so looking forward to it! Who will be there? As much as i would like to go, Robin's semi-annual classical guitar concert is that weekend. Meeting Allison was amoung the many highlights of the weekend last year, though.

How I wish. But Sept. is a busy month in the Morris world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animaterra Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 What's the processional music for Saturday night, Rich? "Road to Bucksteep"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Morse Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 What's the processional music for Saturday night, Rich? "Road to Bucksteep"?We haven't given it any thought this year... simplest is to go with that as it's been a favorite for years (and easy to learn!). There's a copy of it in our BBevent newsgroup. I'll put up an announcement there too. -- Rich -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Evans Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I feel terrible. NEFFA was such a blast playing concertinas with Jim Besser and David Barnert that I swore to myself this year I would make the Squeeze-In. Obi's Boys have a gig at the job site on the 17th and most of the weekend will be getting our act together. Grrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Morse Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Then we'll sing a song and drink a pint to the memory of your missed adventures (and then another song, and maybe a jig - followed by another pint...). -- Rich -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Evans Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Now that ain't fair! Jigs and pints and songs? Damnation. I must have been a prize winning horses behind in another life to deserve this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Remember my last attempt, the blizzard of March, 2005? At least I got to talk to your other half on the phone!) One of these years - work keeps me from escaping for another trip to eastern Massachusetts at other times. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll be missing the NESI, as well, due to Morris commitments -- two of which are in the W. Mass area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time to practice for your gig and plenty more time to play with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Evans Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The solution looks simple. Bring the lads to NESI! Plenty of time to practice for your gig and plenty more time to play with others. The lads have to work in our practice time around their "honey-do's." Perhaps I could slip away for a number of hours on Saturday if I get my honey-do's done early. It would be a salvation for my mind and soul for I' will have been wood-shedding on the banjo as I only pick the cursed thing up before a gig deadline. By Saturday I'll be a quasi lunatic from all that 5-string do-da. Surey would love to connect with some folks...maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
