Tunes from April Session

[Dennis Gormley]

Hello, All;

Here's the list of tunes from the April 19th session. We actually went over tunes we've done in previous months (OMG!), and ran over some other sets in preperation for the New Jersey Folk Festival on Saturday, April 25th. Those planning on participating in the performance should plan on arriving at 10am. That should give you enough time to make your way to the Pinelands stage by 10:30 for our performance at 11.

The main web site for the festival is at http://www.njfolkfest.rutgers.edu/
Directions are at http://www.njfolkfest.rutgers.edu/directions.html
A map of the festival grounds is at http://www.njfolkfest.rutgers.edu/images/2009_Site_Map.pdf

Any questions? My cell phone number is 856-630-1023
