I'm happy to be able to announce this -- it's been five years since we've done one of these in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It'll be on Saturday, September 20, starting at 2 pm and ending at 5 or 6 pm. We'll meet at the home of a local player who lives in the East Bay near the Berkeley-Albany border. Players of all levels, concertina types and musical styles are welcome. Those who attend are encouraged to bring a snack to share. This will be an informal gathering, most likely with no set agenda. The house where we're holding it is big enough for us to have several different musical things going on at the same time.

If you're interested in attending, send me an e-mail (hrshsand "at" earthlink.net) and I'll send you the address and directions.

Now less than three weeks away!

Now less than a week away! It looks like we'll have at least 15-20 players there, but there's definitely room for more.

What fun last Saturday! Maybe 20 players throughout the day. Many good players, and all great people. Lots of information exchanged and Concertinas passed back & forth.

Thanks to David Brown for hosting, and all involved for their friendly, bubbly enthusiasm.

And for those who missed it (and those who were there) David and I are talking about possibly doing it again in 2 or 3 months. In addition to the 20 players who attended, I know of at least 10 or so who had hoped to attend but could not due to schedule conflicts, etc.
