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 theMorristown Unitarian Fellowship, 21 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ. We hold shows almost every Friday, year round, and the secondFriday 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, andother 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 isno 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 theshow was worth it, an additional amount at your discretion on the way out, which goes to supplement what we pay the feature performer. Childrenunder 12 are free. For travel information, or information on shows call 973 335 9489 or visit our website at www.folkproject.org.

The MinstrelAcoustic Concert Series presented by

October 2009

Fri., Nov. 6: Just4(KICKS) and the Diane Perry Trio (Split Bill)Tonight, a pair of acts that explore the blurred area where pop music becomes folkmusic if it’s old enough. JUST4(KICKS) is a four-woman acapella group whose namereflects their attitude. Diane Sussuma, Jean Schoenlank, Beth Fulton, and Mary JoPardee are long-time pals who met through their participation in Sweet Adelines(female Barbershop) singing. Their repertoire includes many of the standards of 100years ago, plus more modern material and parodies, sung with animation, spirit, and ofcourse, rich harmonies. Singer and violinist DIANE PERRY explores the music of the1930’s – 50’s American Popular Songbook she fell in love with as a teen. She has suc-cessfully applied the violin chops acquired at Julliard to the jazz fiddle, and comple-ments that with smoky and tastefully melodic vocals. Guitarist Flip Peters (who hasappeared at the Minstrel) and bassist Kevin Brown form her rhythm section, simulatingbeautifully the big-band feel of the this music’s roots

Fri., Nov. 13: Open StageThe Minstrel’s OPEN STAGE returns after a month’s hiatus. This is an opportunity for all acoustic musicians and singers to per-form a 15-minute set. Under the direction of our host SCOOTER, our Open Stages have gained a reputation as a welcoming andrespectful venue that has attracted traveling professionals as well as the area’s local musicians. For information on performingat the Open Stage, visit http://www.folkproject.org/fp_minstopen.html.

Fri., Nov. 20: O’Carolan’s Farewell to Musica one-man musical play featuring Patrick Ball

World renowned Celtic harper PATRICK BALL presents his one-man musical theater piece,“O'Carolan's Farewell to Music.” In story and music, it brings to life the turbulent times and the cap-tivating music of this most celebrated Irish bard. Interspersed with performances of O'Carolan's tunesplayed on the wire-strung harp, the play tells the harper's story through the character of CharlesMacCabe, O’Carolan’s life-long friend and traveling companion. The play, enriched by O’Carolan’sbeautiful melodies and the crystalline sound of Patrick's harp, is charged with Irish wit and pathos,and demonstrates both the power of friendship and the vital role of the artist in troubled times.

Fri., Nov. 27: The Battle of the Folk Project BandsOver the past few years, we’ve developed a tradition for the Fridayafter Thanksgiving of presenting four Folk Project member actsfalling into some theme or category. This year, it’s the BATTLE OFTHE FOLK PROJECT BANDS. Tonight the Minstrel features some ofour favorite member bands, each with a distinct style and repertoire. WSAGNBSCALRME*, use complex harmonies andencyclopedic repertoire to enchant their audiences. BETSY ROSEand THE CHICAGO FIRE delivers the blues, pairing forthright andsensual vocals with superb instrumental improvisations. THE FABULOUS FURRY HARMONICA BROTHERS, Ralph Litwin and Al

Podber, bring sheer joy and energy to their upbeat treatments of ragtime, vaudeville, western swing, Delta blues and you nameit. Finally, MUSIC TOWN presents its own brand of mountain music that’s bullet fast and daisy sweet, with down-home harmonies,fancy flatpicking, and some fine fiddling. This battle of the bands will have only one winner: the audience!

*WSAGNBSCALRME = We Still Ain’t Got No Band Supper Club And Living Room Music Emporium. Don’t bother trying to pro-nounce it. Call ‘em “WSAG” for short.

The Fall Festival is history, but the memories linger onWhat a lovely festival we had! We had stellar performances by Red Molly, VanceGilbert and Walt Michael and our younger members entertained us during aNext Generation concert set. We were treated to the awe inspiring harmoniesgenerated by the Folk Project chorus, put together over the course of the week-end by Ken and Pat Rolston. We danced to Illegal Contraband with caller ScottHiggs and enjoyed concert sets by the Folk Project’s own Martin Swinger andDave Kleiner and Liz Pagan. We also had our first ever kid’s program with a kid-friendly activity in every workshop slot. There were 191 in attendance and although we’re still analyzing the numbers, itlooks like we will break even financially. We did a brisk business at the boutique,where Red Molly racked up record CD sales.The Festival is a group effort and it wouldn’t be possible to hold one without thevolunteer efforts of a large group of people. Unfortunately, there isn’t space tothank everyone personally here, but I would like to mention the following peo-ple who devoted countless hours to making this festival a success: Barbara Moo,Jim King, Bobbie Rosengarten, Bill Cox, Ruth Wolfish, Pam Robinson, KathyHaynie, Liz Pagan, Bob Safranek, Sandie Reilly, Matt Reilly, Mike DelVecchio,Scooter Ferguson, Alice Weimer, Greg Moore, George Otto, Roger Kintish, DaveSherman, Ken Rolston, Pat Rolston, Judy Richterman, Ed Ludlow, Pat Brangs,Carol Titus, Rick Thomas, Connie Crawford, Chris Jacoby, Lois DeRitter andScott Sheldon. Special thanks to all of our workshop leaders. And a big thankyou to everyone else who pitched in to help out where needed.We’re going to do it all over again this spring, May 14 – 16, 2010, the weekendafter Mother’s Day. Be there or be square!

Yours in folk, Lori Falco, Festival Chair

And more thanks...A great big THANK YOU to each and everyone of the participants in the FestivalChorus Workshops! We have loved singing this music for years and were sohappy to finally be able to share a sampling of perhaps not-so-familiar harmo-ny traditions with a group of singers. (When we’re by ourselves, there arealways missing parts.) Our enthusiasm may have gotten the better of us – weattempted a lot of material in a really short period of time. Your willingness totackle anything we threw out on the table, your persistence and your spirit wereoutstanding. When I said our hearts were full of joy, even though our facesmight not always show it, I was pretty near to bursting with happiness myself. Special mention has to be made of the core members who met throughout thesummer to familiarize themselves with the songs, the better to be able to com-municate the pleasure of singing them to others: Karyn Grunwald, Kathy Haynie,Wendy Keilin, Jim Gartner, Pat Hickey and Bob McNally. They should have real-ly been called Angels, rather than Part Captains.

“folk music’s rustic renaissance man” – The Washington Post

Dorothy Young Center for the Arts

Presented by

John McCutcheon is America’s balladeer. Think of him as an incarnation of Pete Seeger, Mr. Rogers, Will Rogers, Bruce

Springsteen, and everyman. In Australia, he was called “the most overwhelming folk performer in the English language.”

A Russian critic hailed him as “the most versatile and compelling performer this reviewer has ever seen.” And Johnny

Cash noted he was “the most impressive instrumentalist I’ve ever heard.”

John recorded his first album, “How Can I Keep from Singing” in 1974. Since then he has recorded 31 albums, col-

lected six Grammy nominations, won many Parent’s Choice and American Library Association awards, developed ham-

mer dulcimer instructional videos, authored books, and amassed a faithful and ever-growing army of fans. He is, in the

words of Sing Out! Magazine, “the perfect example of the modern folk musician.”

His best-known songs include “Christmas in the Trenches,” ”Simple Man,” “Hope Dies Last,” and the hilarious “Oprah

Seat.” John’s performances feature a wide variety of instruments including 12-String and 6-String Guitars, Hammered

Dulcimer, Fiddle, Concertina, Autoharp, Banjos, Piano, Nyckelharpa and Jaw Harp.

“This notion of telling stories of ordinary people who have done great things, and carrying

those stories from one place to another, of telling people ‘this is where I’ve been, these are

the stories I can bring you’ is the heart of what I do. That’s my goal. If you can recognize

yourself in my songs, then I’ve done my job.”– John McCutcheon

Funding for this event has been made possible in part by funds from the Arts Council of the Morris Area through theNew Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State a Partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

This year we’ve added two special features:we’re spotlighting the enormous talents of Maine fiddle phenom and Projectalumni Joel Glassman, an outstanding jazz fiddler with an amazing grasp of tra-ditional, contra and swing styles. And in another Hoot first, we’re recreating thethree-part swing harmonies of the 30’s and 40’s that were featured in the ‘80sProject supergroup Harvest Swing. The Hoot will start with an hour and a half of hot contras played by theProjectialians and called by Richard Fischer. We’ll have extra special desserts,while we set up for an hour of swing dancing to the music of our very ownRockadillies .A selection of premiere Project vocalists will front this hot swingsegment. We’ll finish up the night with an hour of contras danced to the bigband swing music.The Projectilians are Kris “Tootie” Lamb on flutes, Liz “Tickles” Kozack on key-board, Big Jeff DeSmedt on bass, Mark “The Spark” Schaffer on fiddle, Robin“Cool Robin” Schaffer on percussion, and special guest Joel Glassman on fid-dle and electric mandolin.The Rockadillies are Joey “Sticks” D’Andrea on drums, Frank “Soul Man” Soleon bass, David “Davey the K” Kleiner on guitar, Liz “Tickles” Kozack on key-boards, Andy “The Wiz” Koenig in synth sax, Jeff “Big Bone” Rantzer on trom-bone, Mark “The Spark” Schaffer on electric fiddle, and special guest JoelGlassman on swing fiddle.This Hoot’s featured vocalists are Christine DeLeone, Big Jeff DeSmedt, LyndaWright, Mark Schaffer, Jean “Songbird” Scully, Jay Wilensky and a specialappearance by the Harvest Swingers Vocal Trio.The dance will be held at Swingin’ Tern’s usual site in East Hanover.

Folk Pro ject Board Meet ing • October, 2009 :Board Meet ing: The Summary

A Ruth Wolfish’s, Oct. 13, 2009. The meeting was called to order at 8:03pm by President Mark Schaffer.ATTENDANCE: Trustees: Lois De Ritter, Scooter Ferguson, Jim Gartner, Jim King, Allan Kugel, Jim West, Ruth Wolfish.Presiding: (Pres) Mark Schaffer. Officers: (VP) Evelyn Maurer, (Treas) Ed Roffman, (Sec) Rick Thomas. OTHERS: (Mins) MikeAgranoff, (S'n'T)Connie Crawford, (News) Carl Croce, (Fest)Lori Falco, (Fin) Andy Koenig, (Comm Affairs) ElizabethLachowicz, (Staff/HSNOI) Sandie Reilly, (SpeCon)Pam Robinson, (Memb) Pat Rolston, (Sound) Bob Safranek, (Int Affairs)Jean Scully. Guests: Judy Bubar, (Huntington’s Disease Society) Kristie Rokicki. Absent: Brad Pryor, (Story) Rivka Willick,(Merch0) Bobbie Rosengarten. Acceptance of the minutes: the minutes of September were accepted. Treasurer’s Report:Eddie says that he and Lori have been working on Festival numbers. After Festival bills are all paid, all departments are doingwell financially. Key Dates: We need to publish the Annual Meeting date and location in the November Newsletter, the dead-line for which is the 15th, so that needs to be taken care of ASAP.OLD BUSINESS: Workers Comp: The Pro Bono lawyer is studying the materials that Mark has provided to him, including theall emails on the subject that went to the Board mailing list.NEW BUSINESS:ACMA Grant: Pam reports that for 2010 the grant amount will be $1000. This is less than last year but, considering the eco-nomic situation in NJ, it’s still good to know they still like us.Annual Meeting: George has indicated that he still wants to be involved. Connie will work with George to get it done.Nominating Committee: Mike, Evelyn, Eddie, and Mark Schaffer volunteered to be on the committee. Evelyn will chair.Nominations must be reported in the December Newsletter.Concert Proposal and Guest: Eddie introduced Kristi Rokicki, Executive Director of the NJ Chapter of the Huntington’sDisease Society of America, who was here to answer questions about the HDSA in connection with his proposal for the FolkProject to co-sponsor a concert of Woody Guthrie songs and story material with the HDSA. All profits from the concert willbe donated to support research in finding a cure for Huntington’s Disease. A motion was passed (18 for, 1 against, 1 absten-tion) to set up an ad-hoc committee, chaired by Eddie, for this project. The full text of the motion and supporting materialsare available from the Secretary.Folk Project Banner: Carl has a design for a banner that can be used at all of our events. He will do a mock-up and presentit at the next meeting.COMMITTEE REPORTS: Sound: Bob reports that a speaker processor was purchased at a cost of about $550, and used forthe first time at Festival. Andy says that, in his personal and unscientific opinion, it helped a lot in making the song lyricsmore intelligible. Finance: Andy notes that the market recovery has gained us back much of our previous loss. The usualcaveats apply regarding trends and their tendency to change eventually. Minstrel: Mike reports that it was a good monthat the Minstrel, but not as good as it might have been. The Kennedys and Tracy Grammer were expected to draw well, anddid. However, the scheduling of the Kennedys on the eve of Rosh Hashanah probably had a negative effect on their atten-dance. Another result of the coincidence between Rosh Hashanah and the Kennedys' show was that we were presentingthe show against an unusual Friday night service at MUF in the Terrace Room. They had indicated that if they had theirdruthers, they would have been in the Meeting Room, and us in the Terrace Room. That of course would not have been pos-sible with the expected crowd for the Kennedys. We went through some major efforts to have our activities be non-dis-ruptive to the service, and that was acknowledged and appreciated by MUF. Staffing: Sandie reports that they have beenrestructuring this job so that it will be easier and less stressful to do. She still intends to step down at the end of December.Anybody who is interested in taking on the job should contact Sandie. HSNOI: Ralph gave a report on the cable televisionproviders and the many communities they serve in NJ that carry “Horses Sing None of It!” They have made a successfultransition to recording masters on mini-DV tape (with a back-up master copy on SVHS). It’s easy to dub from the mini-DVtapes to the DVD recorder for our archival copies. If you want to be part of the volunteer audience for an upcoming show,contact Sandie. Special Concerts: Gearing up for the McCutcheon concert on Nov 7th. Tickets are still available. SpecialConcerts has a deal with The Best Western hotels of Morristown and New Providence. In exchange for them hosting SCperformers free of charge, the FP will provide a link on our website to their website. For any concert where they host theperformer they will get advertising space on the back cover of the program and up to 5 pairs of tickets. Best Western willalso give us a code for our website so that any of our concert attendees can get a discount if they stay at the Morristownor New Providence Best Western's. Tickets are now on sale for Tern Swings! featuring Reeds, Rhythm & All That Brass.Proceeds will benefit the NJ Jazz Society's Educational Scholarship Fund. Tickets will soon be on sale for a MichaelManring concert on Thurs. Feb. 4, 2010. Michael is an amazing bass guitar player and even has his own listing on Wikipedia.Festival: Lori received a standing ovation in recognition of a wonderful Fall Festival. She reports that our attendance num-bers were similar to the spring '09 festival. The financial results are not yet finalized as she and Eddie are still crunchingthe numbers. All in all, it looks like the festival broke even. We'll have more precise numbers next month. The boutique dida brisk business, and Red Molly sold over 80 CDs — an FP festival record. The FP mugs were very popular and we took inabout $300 from the sale of FP merchandise. On the down side, we are seeing declining attendance at the dances. Swingin’Tern: Connie reports that they are doing well enough financially at the new location that they are thinking about raising thefees paid to their callers and bands. The Harvest Hoot is Nov. 21. Web&Publicity: We need to plan for renewing the regis-tration of our “FolkProject.org” domain name before it expires in August, 2010. Internal Affairs: Jean reports that theNovember EoM will be at Cecilia’s house in Highland Park. December will be at Judy Hagan’s.

Pelvis Burlapp says, “Eat local!”We all know that our food is transported to us from all over the world. We live in the Garden State! Wewill do the Earth a foavor by eating food that was grown, bred, or manufactured close to home. It’s health-ier, better for the local economy, and reduces our carbon footprint (I’m a size 11). So what better time than Thnaksgiving to start a local food tradition in your family. Here are some tips:1. When you visit your local fast food outlet, ask the clerk where each item on the menu was grown. Theywill look at you and scowl. “Grown? This food was GROWN?” Point toward the refineries of Linden andElizabeth, and say “Here! In Jersey!”2. Catch your own turkey in the wilds of Sussex. That free Shop-Rite turkey is not free! Ask the turkey!3. New Jersey is a leading producer of cranberries. Make sure you buy local. Sweeten it with pure SouthJersey sugar. Replace your morning orange juice with sparkling Jersey cranberry juice.4. There are no lemons ot limes grown here in Jersey, so find suitable Jersey-grown replacements, suchas Lemon Pledge or lemon-flavored pharmaceuticals. Your guests will be so clean and happy!5. Why not turn your backyard into a cranberry bog or swine farm? Doesn’t get much more local than that,and you’ll get to know those standoffish neighbors at last.6. Eating less is much better for you. And what better way to reduce your calorie intake than to eat noth-ing but fresh, delicious, Jersey-grown and/or -manufactured products?7. Groundhog instead of turkey this year!
