Marching On With Pelvis BurlappWe’ve all heard the old expression, “March comes in like a lamb chop, and goes out like an accor-dion.” I never understood that expression, but then there are many things I don’t understand. I’m joking, of course. You forgot whose verbiage you’re ingesting. Pelvis Burlapp is an expert in 27 fields, holding advanced degrees in 13 areas, and remedial degrees in both Fahrenheit and Spanish. Sad to say, even know-it-alls like yours truly need to do some spring cleaning every year about this time. And I don’t even stay up this late anymore! Needless to say, I’ll say it anyway: here are some handy tips for all you spring cleaners:

1. Time to get rid of all those Obama posters cluttering up your pantry! I hear Donald Trump collects them, so ship them off to Trump Tower and your pantry will pant no more.

2. Speaking of pants, sew the legs closed on old jeans, and they make great clothespin holders. If you ever get some clothespins, you’ll be ready to hold them!

3. Some ukuleles are made of quality lumber that could make excellent splints or tooth-picks. Just sayin’.

4. Collect that old pet hair or dryer lint, squeeze tightly into a ball, and you have yourself a useful banjo mute.

5. Some of you may still use furniture, but…get with it! This is the twenty-first century! Send your chairs to the chairmen, your couches to the slouches, your tables to the leg-less, and this sentence to John Prine.

6. When you clean the refrigerator, be sure to put it back together correctly. My refrigerator hasn’t been right since the last time I cleaned it…the icemaker makes cubic zirconium, the water dispenser asked for dispensation, and the produce drawer rejects anything that’s not locally grown. I think I heard the microwave discussing plans to run off with the rice cooker.

UPCOMING: 4/1 No Fuss and Feathers with Circle Round the Sun; 4/8 Open Stage; 4/15 The Shockenaw Mountain Boys with Bob McNally; 4/22 Jim Hurst with Stuart Kabak; 4/29 James Keelaghan with Neely Emmert Bly; 5/6 Summer Songs Beach Party; 5/13 Open Stage; 5/20 Joan & Joni;

Fri., Mar. 4: The Odessa Klezmer Band with The Baron-Montemurro DuoThe Odessa Klezmer Band brings the joyous dance music of the Klezmorim (Jewish folk musicians) to mainstream America. It features the raucous, joyous sound of clarinet, horns, and accordion, and the vocals of Folk Project member Miriam Libove. In addition to the musical heri-tage of Eastern Europe, it also branches out into Ladino (the Sephardic Jews of Spain), and Middle Eastern music, including polka and czardas.

Rich Baron and Mike Montemurro first played together in the ‘70s. Their music mixes country, R&B, and jazz influences. Michael is an accom-plished lead guitarist, whose smoky gritty voice blends perfectly with Rich’s clear lead vocals. Rich is a past winner of the American Song Festival award.

Fri., Mar. 11: 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., Mar. 18: Ken Galipeau with Terry Kitchen and Mara LevineNote: Orrin Star, previously scheduled for this date, has had to cancel. He will be rescheduled when available.Ken Galipeau is a storyteller, and a gleaner of good songs. He is constantly on the lookout for lesser-

known material that ought to be better known. He will intersperse humor with poignancy to great effect. He plays guitar, piano, and water-jug, and will sometimes sing unaccompanied. He’s also well known locally as a superb storyteller for adults as well as children. Ken will be supported onstage by multi-instrumentalist Dave Rimelis, with special appearances by other guest artists.

Boston-based but New Jersey-born, Terry Kitchen has been performing on the folk scene for the past two decades. He was called “one of New England’s finest songwriters” by Dirty Linen magazine, Terry’s songs are portraits of ordinary people, captured with compassion, honesty, and humor. Terry will

be joined onstage by the Folk Project’s own Mara Levine who will add harmony vocals to his songs.

Fri., Mar. 25: Phil Ochs Song NightAn all-star cast—consisting so far of Brother Sun (Joe Jencks, Greg Greenway, Pat Wictor) and Magpie, with more to be added—will perform The Songs Of Phil Ochs. Phil was one of the seminal figures of the 60’s Folk movement and penned dozens of classics that live today in the hearts of fans and performers alike. The evening will be hosted by Phil’s sister Sonny Ochs, who is still an active figure in the folk community. The performers will also include some of their own songs, and Sonny will add historical and biographical notes to put Phil’s songs in the context of the era and the times.

Getaway Extension AnnouncedMay 27–29th Plus!

“The Best Three-Day Music Party Ever” is now four days long. The Getaway is so jam-packed with music, community, and fun, that we added an extra day to decompress—The Getaway Extension.

Save The Date: IRISH MYTHEN!!! Don’t know who she is? Find out on Friday, May 13th

She out-Vances Vance Gilbert! She closed out Saturday night at the Philadelphia Folk Fest 2015 to a standing ovation. She sang at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and no one could stop talking about her voice, her music, the way she owned the stage! This is halfway through her East Coast tour, fresh from an Australian tour, opening for Melissa Etheridge!

Plan ahead! Tickets will be $15. in advance and $20 at the door.

This just in: the Philly Folksong Society has booked Irish a month later in June for an $80 ticket. Of course, that's for their VIP package that includes a reception, a whisky tasting, and special seating, but that is the kind of draw she is. Why not see her a month early at the Folk Project for a better price?

March Evening o' MusicSat., Mar. 12, 8pm • Schafferpalooza

196 Mt. Pleasant Avenue, Rockaway, NJ • 973/989-4429

The Schaffers welcome us once again with all of our instruments, voices, pot luck dishes, bever-ages, and desserts.

Follow the directions below exactly because Robin and Mark live in a zone that's protected by a forcefield which sometimes foils GPS accuracy.

Directions> Route 80 to exit 35A (Dover and Shopping Mall). Go 1/2 mile to the Exxon and make a left onto Mt. Pleasant Avenue. Ignore house numbers for one mile. At one mile, the road starts downhill and your heads-up landmark is a metal guardrail on the right. Then there is a 25mph sign and a mailbox on the right that says “196” with three reflectors. The driveway is a hairpin turn on the right about ten feet past the 25mph sign. Yes, there is street parking, but fold in your rearview mirror if you can and then walk cautiously.

Help Support Caffè LenaGreetings to the Good Folk of New Jersey! We thank you for letting us share a story with you. Nestled among mineral springs, Victorian facades, and the famous thoroughbred racetrack of Saratoga Springs, New York, lies a hallowed folk club called Caffè Lena. The entrance to the venue, located on a side street in Saratoga's National Historic District, takes you through a narrow, swinging door pocked with countless thumbtack holes, past a mural of old show posters in which you'll find a young David Amram, David Bromberg, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Townes Van Zandt, Rosalie Sorrels, Utah Phillips, and many more such heroes. You'll climb a creaky flight of stairs into an L-shaped room with worn floors and a low ceiling. You'll make friends with your tablemates, and think about all those who shared that seat over the past five decades. The humble little venue is widely recog-nized as the longest continuously operating folk club in the United States. The Library of Congress, which acquired the venue's archives in 2010, calls it "a National Treasure."

Caffè Lena was opened in 1960 by Bill and Lena Spencer, newlyweds from Boston. Their goal: earn enough money in a couple years to head to Europe and live a bohemian life on the continent.

“The best laid plans . . .” as they say. Bill left in 1962 and Lena ran the Caffè until her passing in 1989, becoming a renowned champion of songwriters and a surrogate mother to countless vagabonds. In Lena’s own words, she felt “the Caffè could serve as a showcase, a stepping stone in the devel-opment of good, young, deserving talent and a place to introduce, in some cases, to uninitiated audiences, the wealth of traditional music, not only of this country but other countries as well. A place where young people, interested in pursuing a career in music, could learn by hearing and meeting established artists.”

Continuing as a non-profit organization after Lena's death, the club's roster encompasses the folk revival, the early singer-songwriter movement, the Fast Folk era, and today's roots music scene. From the campfires of Falcon Ridge to Folk Alliance showcases, true to Lena's founding vision, Caffè Lena continues to search out and present exciting new voices in folk music as well as all the familiar favorites who have come to consider the venue a home away from home.

We’re sharing our story with you at a pivotal moment in Caffè Lena’s history. A couple years ago we got the news that our late 19th century home required major structural work. We considered mov-ing to a carefree, street-level building with parking, but as all who have seen the historic black and white photos, or put a hand on the banister, or played their guitar on the stage know, the Caffè's identity is inextricably linked to its bricks and mortar. Just like a famous painting gives off an energy that can't be replicated in facsimile, the magic of Caffè Lena can't be recreated elsewhere. This is a place that echoes with thousands and thousands of songs and handclaps. There can never be another like it, and that’s why we ask you to help save it.

The Campaign for Caffè Lena is a $1.5 million capital campaign, the funds from which will restore our building from foundation to rooftop. The renovated Caffè will be, for the first time, accessible to all via an elevator. Steel beams will support the roof and floors, and the backstage areas will provide comfort for the road weary. Twenty-five seats will be added to the often sold-out listening

room, along with a modern sound system and live streaming technology so that audiences every-where can enjoy our programming. While modernizing to ensure survival, the venue's stewards are committed to retaining the historic atmosphere of the concert space, as well as the all-ages, volunteer-driven culture.

With the generous support of hundreds of friends, musicians, and community members over the past 18 months, the Campaign for Caffè Lena has already raised two-thirds of the required funds! We plan to break ground on the project this summer and re-open before the end of 2016, but we need help from every corner of the folk world to complete our fundraising in time. Whether it be a donation, an event in support of our efforts, or an introduction to someone who can help, we call on music lovers near and far to pitch in. In return, Caffè Lena will continue to serve the musicians and audiences for decades to come.

Thank you for listening and for giving us a space to share our story. To make a gift or learn more about the Campaign for Caffè Lena, please visit www.caffelena.org/campaignforcaffelena

Thursday? A Music Party on Thursday?Thursday, March 17th is St. Patrick's day. It also happens to be Nancy Beyer's birthday! What better day for a music party? We will gather at Nancy and Tim's house at 79 DeMott Lane, Somerset, NJ at 6pm. Please bring a contribution to the pot-luck dinner if you can. We will break for dinner around 8pm. Please come for dinner even if you cannot bring anything. Please bring your favorite instru-ments and/or your favorite vocal chords.

Directions> Take exit 10 from Route 287 onto Easton Avenue (527) towards New Brunswick. After Willow Avenue, at the next light, take the ramp and make a right onto the well-marked DeMott Lane. Our house comes up in less than a half-mile on the right, #79, a beige one-story house with a black mailbox. Probably best to park on the street. Call 732/354-0803 before 6pm.

EoM Lost and FoundLeft behind at February Evening o' Music:

¤ 1 navy-blue hooded sweatshirt, ¤ 1 red Snark instrument tuner, and ¤ several lyric/chord sheets: "Big Bad Bill" on one side, "Frim Fram Sauce" on the other.

If any of these items is yours, please e-mail Amy Livingston (haverwench@gmail.com) to make arrangements for getting it back.

Folk Project Board Meeting • February 2, 2016Board Meeting: The Summary

10 11

The February meeting of the Board of Directors was held at the Highland Park home of Allan Kugel and Cecilia Rowedder.

Present: Kathleen Caccavale, Joanne Cronin, Lois DeRitter, Allan Kugel, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Lindsey Meyer, Mitch Radler, Chris Riemer, Jay Wilensky, and Barrett Wilson (officers and trustees); Mike Agranoff, Ken Brody, Christine DeLeon, Mike Del Vecchio, Lori Falco, Paul Fisher, Pam Robinson, Ed Roffman, Mark Schaffer (committee chairs). Guests: Olga Alvarez, Miriam Libove. Absent: Pat Brangs, Deborah Graham, Grover Kemble, Bob McNally, George Otto, Sandie Reilly, and Leigh Walker.

The November, December, and January minutes were approved and Chris reported that 1099's were mailed out on time to qualifying performers.

Barrett told us that Barbara Moo is applying for a 2017 grant for general operating expenses from Morris Arts (formerly the Arts Council of the Morris Area) on behalf of the FP. He also reported on the Workers’ Compensation Ad Hoc Group, which has been studying the complicated issues surrounding our current policy and what coverage we need, if any, even though we have no paid employees. It’s a sticky legal issue and we’ll explore carefully before making decisions. Barrett also reported that Mike D’s Sound Reinforcement training program has attracted a growing number of talented volunteers to help with Minstrel and Special Concerts shows. The volunteers are currently training on the FP’s new sound system and will also be trained on the new Morristown Unitarian Fellowship equipment as soon as it’s installed.

NEW BUSINESS

Chris reported on the findings of the Venue Chair Autonomy Committee that Barrett formed last year to address polarization issues that had arisen involving the balance between venue autonomy and Board oversight. Where should this line be and what do we do when either side feels it’s being crossed? Through discussion, the committee realized that the issue was interpersonal, not proce-dural. They put together suggested “rules of engagement” which they hope will help the Board to

“play nice” and engage with trust when interacting with each other.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Publicity chair Paul reported that due to email bounce issues, we’re probably switch-ing from Dreamhost to Gmail. If we do, we’d qualify for free Google Ads so that people searching for NJ folk music or dance would be offered a relevant FP ad. Chris reported that the FP YouTube channel needs more subscribers in order to qualify for a vanity URL. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjdbfs4jHHGz--AYidrnfZA (see why we need the vanity URL?) Help us out – click and subscribe!

Event Hosting: New Board member Mitch volunteered to produce the Summer Songs member concert on May 6, which elicited cheers from the crowd. This is how the FP thrives – when there’s a need, someone steps up to the plate. Way to go, Mitch!

Minstrel Booking chair Mike A. reported a net loss in January, due to lower paid attendance and reflecting insurance and G&A (General and Administrative) expenses. [Secretary’s note: Except for Getaway, each venue must now account for their fair share of overhead costs in order to give a more accurate picture of FP profit and loss.] Mike pointed out that we should keep this in mind when comparing yearly Minstrel figures, since past years did not include G&A and insurance. New main act bookings include young guitarist Shun Ng, whose performance wowed the audience when he opened for Beppe Gambetta in January.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:57pm.

Next month’s meeting is at the home of Jay Wilensky and Marie Trontell in Whitehouse Station. If you’re a FP member and would like to sit in, drop Lindsey a note at secretary@folkproject.org to get directions.

Good o’ the OrderA place to share news with your Folk Project Community about memorable events and challenges.

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

Miriam Libove is recording a CD with her band and hopes to have it ready by their performance on March 4.

Allan Kugel: Cecilia Rowedder's chorus is doing Valentine's Day song vamps. If anyone's interested in having the chorus call up your sweetie and sing them a song, contact Cecilia.

Ken Brody's hand surgery went well, and he's back at work.

Mark and Robin Schaffer will be spending a week on a boat in Martinique for Mardi Gras.

Olga Alvarez and Gerry Hazel will be playing at Albert Hall on April 30.

Kathy Caccavale hiked a section of the Appalachian Trail up to McAfee Knob, and unbeknownst to her, she stood where Robert Redford and Nick Nolte stood in the movie, "A Walk in the Woods."

Lois DeRitter talked up Mustard's Retreat, playing at Minstrel on February 5, with Katherine Rondeau opening.

Got an App for That?Back when it was still called Festival and it was held at Fairview Lake, Ken Galipeau mentioned at a songwriting workshop that he used a Radio Shack digital memo recorder to capture ideas he had for songs: melodies, rhythms, lyrics, story ideas, that sort of thing. Of course, now we use smart phones, not single-use devices, but the idea is still valuable.

Apple apparently learned that their free mobile app called Voice Memos was being used a lot by musicians, so they developed a new mobile app called Music Memos to help them. Recording is similar (you just click on the single red record button on the screen), but the program knows it is dealing with music, so it analyzes the input and tries to figure out the key and rhythm. If the musi-cian is playing a guitar or piano, it also tries to figure out the chords. When the recording is played back, it can add drums, accompaniment, or even change key or alter the rhythm. To do more, the recording can be fed to Apple's GarageBand app or sent out via email.

The app is free and available with the latest version of Apple iOS for iPhone, iPad, and the iPod Touch.

Request for more apps� Do you use apps to help you as a performer or musician that you could recommend to others, particularly new or unusual ones? If so, please send a description of the app along with how it has helped you to newsletter@folkproject.org and it could be used in a future article.
