October Evening of…Oh, WaitGetaway is becoming our weekend-long Evening of Music for October. (Can I get a "WOO HOO" folks?) So now is a good time to spend Newsletter real estate on a reminder that the new year is just around the chorus and it'll come around on the guitar again soon. There are plenty of dates open on the 2016 calendar for those who would like to host one of our monthly jam-n-schmooz-ers. With a great amount of thanks to the Roffmans for hosting our 4th of July party for so many years, it is now time to look for a new location for that harmonious gathering as well. Do any of these opportunities sound good to you? If you have hosted an Evening of Music in the past, I'll be reaching out to you soon hoping for a repeat. If you have not yet hosted and you would like in on all the fun, please send an email to me at internalaffairs@folkproject.org or call me at 201/446-5387.

A Folk Project Special ConcertThe Rumpke Mountain Boys

with special guest

David Gans

Friday, November 13, 2015 • 8pm

$15 advance, $20 at the door

Pot-Luck Brunch, book signing and jam-with-the-band Saturday morning

The Rumpke Mountain BoysThe Rumpke Mountain Boys combine signature vocals, a unique command of stringed instruments

(acoustic guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and banjo) and dynamic special effects into a singular musical experience. Bluegrass instrumentation and styling like nothing you’ve heard before.

Like playing around a campfire, the Boys take turns calling the next tune, distilling shows from a sea of infinite notes created from years of jamming. Drawing upon an ever grow-ing catalog of originals and an eclectic mix of covers ranging from Randy Newman to The Grateful Dead, covering all the ground between.

David GansMaking a living outside the normal nine-to-five schedule is a difficult proposition; making a living that way while making an interesting life is even harder. David Gans has done both, as a musician, a radio producer, and an author/journalist.

David brings us a bit of everything this time around. He will open for (and undoubtedly jam with) The Rumpke Mountain Boys on Friday night, and on Saturday morning his new book “Playing in the Band: An Oral and Visual Portrait of the Grateful Dead” will be the focus of a pot-luck brunch, book signing, and jam session in Rockaway, NJ.

Details and advance tickets available at folkproject.org or call 908/229-1214 with any questions.

Fri., Oct. 2: Stuart Fuchs with Andy Koenig & Friends(No Fuss & Feathers Road Show, originally on this date, has been rescheduled to April 1, 2016)Stuart Fuchs breaks all the rules. His primary instrument is the ukulele, on which he plays every-thing from samba to swing, from Bach to the blues. On top of that he also plays didjeridoo, Native American flute, and the Bolivian charango. Oh yes, and guitar, too. He’s a brilliant musician, a charm-ing figure on stage, and a helluva nice guy, too. He was a huge hit at our Acoustic Getaway last May. He will be joined tonight by Sarah Siri Kirtin Carlise on upright bassAndy Koenig is one of the most eclectic and innovative of the Folk Project’s performing members, with skills and interests ranging from Renaissance recorder to the most advanced electronic and synthesized music. He’ll perform solo and with an assortment of talented friends to provide one of the most varied and interesting programs you are likely to see on this stage.

Fri., Oct. 9: Closed for the Folk Project Fall Getaway

Fri., Oct. 16: Pat Donohue with Diane Perry & FriendsAnyone who saw Pat Donohue at our Acoustic Getaway back in May has this date circled in red on their calendar. For two decades, Pat was the guitarist for the house band of A Prairie Home Companion, a band that demanded nothing short of the best. Now free to tour on his own, we are blessed with more opportunities to see him solo in person, where he can really shine. An out-standing guitarist in all genres, he specializes in fingerstyle blues and ragtime. He is also a great songwriter with a wonderful sense of humor. He has written some of the best parodies this side of Weird Al Yankovic or Allan Sherman.Diane Perry is a natural. One of those performers who, from their very first note, you just know was born to her instrument. Diane’s instruments are the violin and her voice, and she spans genres from swing standards to folk to her own compositions. She does not let her classical training at Julliard get in the way of improvisational brilliance. And her vocal interpretations are unique and perfect for the material.

Fri., Oct. 23: Split Bill—Peter Fischman & Deb O’Hanlon and Andrew DunnA pair of hidden gems: two brilliant, but little-known songwriters.Peter Fischman’s songs of home and friends and family capture a moment or depict a place or event with the visual acuity of an Ansel Adams photograph. His wife Deb O’Hanlon adds her clear soprano voice to the mix. They also sing some of Peter’s well-written parodies as well as some traditional songs.Andrew Dunn’s thoughtful and measured view of life is translated into beautiful and powerful song, simply and effectively delivered. He presents a sympathetic and endearing stage persona that is more than a persona. It is Andy himself, out there for the world to enjoy and love.

Fri., Oct. 30: Folk Project Halloween ConcertA wonderful Halloween Party tradition continues with our cavalcade of costumed crooners. Fabulous and frightful Folk Project vocalists in various states of Halloween garb will entertain you all night long. The audience and cast will compete for astoundingly inexpensive prizes given for the best costumes. Special guest appearances by famous fake celebrities will add to the evening. The spe-cial $10 price will include a fine array of refreshments.

Folk Project Board Meeting • September 1, 2015Board Meeting: The Summary

10 11

Our September board meeting was called to order at 8:05pm on September 1st, at the home of Allan Kugel & Cecilia Rowedder. There was a quorum.

Present were Officers Barrett Wilson, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Chris Riemer, and Andrew Hines; Trustees Joanne Cronin, Jay Wilensky, Allan Kugel, Lindsey Meyer, Lois DeRitter, Deborah Graham, and Barrett Wilson. Committee chairs Lori Falco, George Otto, Scooter Ferguson, Ken Brody, Paul Fisher, Barrett Wilson, Eddie Roffman, Deborah Graham, Mike Agranoff, Pat Brangs, Christine DeLeon, Mike Del Vecchio, and Mark Schaffer were there. Absent were Bob McNally, Grover Kemble, and Leigh Walker. Guests Cecilia Rowedder and Miriam Libove were also in attendance.

Barrett announced that the August minutes will not be voted upon until a minor clarification can be established.

President Barrett bestowed KUDOS upon Deborah Graham for stepping up to run the Halloween show. This is a great example of how our board members step up and step in when needed. Additional KUDOS to Mark Schaffer for his mentoring of Deborah on this task. This also helps bol-ster our “managerial bench.”

Another great announcement has named Christine DeLeon as the new Emcee for our Open Stage. Let’s try and support Christine in this role by getting out to the Open Stage more often. The September show was fabulous.

Barrett asked for a motion to “early launch” the nominating committee to present a proposed board slate for 2016. Mike Del Vecchio did, there was a second, followed by unanimous approval.

Scooter reported that Uke Fest 3 was a great success and looks to be “here to stay.”

Our Treasurer, Chris Riemer, reports that the Folk Project finances are continuing to improve. The Board has decided to continue supporting attendance for some at the all important NERFA con-ference. Andrew reported that there are still a few 40th Anniversary Tee Shirts available that are AUTOGRAPHED by Tom Paxton. Contact Andrew if interested at secretary@folkproject.org.

Robin and Mark are staying on as chairpersons of the Getaway. The Fall 2015 Getaway sold out in just a few weeks.

We are thrilled that Michael Agranoff has experienced a rapid and nearly full recovery from his broken clavicle.

Paul Fisher is seeking new volunteers for Publicity from the membership.

Jean reports that our “Twitter Followers” numbers are up.

Barrett is always looking to expand our volunteer pool. Note that we are streamlining tasks where possible.

Our Financial Solutions committee is hitting some home runs with suggested improvements, and discussions will be ongoing.

Performers are also stating that our new sound system is a huge home run.

Swingin’ Tern is ramping up for the fall. Let’s get out and support them too. Try dancing!

Pat Brangs reports that Dave Kleiner will once again be staffing a booth at Bloomfield’s Eco Fest on September 27th. He asks that members come out and support the effort…and by all means, bring your instruments.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:25pm.

The next meeting will be hosted by Christine & Michael Del Vecchio at Mario’s Pizza, Randolph, NJ.

Good o’ the Order(Community News)

This is a place to share news about memorable events and challenges you have faced in the past month with your Folk Project Community�

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

Elizabeth Lachowicz had an absolutely wonderful trip to the Midwest for one niece's wedding and another's bridal shower. She had a great time with her siblings, nieces, and nephews. Then she and Tom went to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where they participated (as audience) in a bookstore music jam, It was a great vacation. She thanks all who filled in for her while she was away, and, "It's good to be home."

Miriam Lubove is the proud owner of a ukulele and has been playing for five days as of September 1!

Deborah Graham also had a Midwestern sojourn. She went to a workshop in Wisconsin, visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin, had a wonderful three-and-a-half-day whirlwind tour of Chicago, and explored a lot of Midwestern back roads while visiting friends.

Ken Brody just returned from a four-day motorcycle road rally in Vermont. It was absolutely gor-geous up there.

Mark Schaffer just returned from a camping week in Colorado with middle daughter Devon. He also just realized before speaking that he had three handfuls of chocolate before he realized that he was eating chocolate covered coffee beans. He invited any interested parties to join him at Paul's Diner, open all night, on Route 46 in Mountain Lakes, after the meeting.

Barrett Wilson has become a kayak junkie, He found a great kayaking school (on the Hudson River, of all places) and he is learning the boat and the skills, and loving it.

Mike Agranoff fell off his deck and broke his collarbone and a couple of ribs. He got a lot of sup-port from Mark Schaffer and Tim and Nancy Weinrich, among others. He is recovering nicely and should be good by the end of the month.

Eddie Roffman has been playing pickleball in his new neighborhood in Lakewood. It's played on a tennis court, but it's "smaller and slower. Just my speed."

Joanne Cronin had a brief getaway to Boston, where she hung out with Bob Leigh and Mabel Liang, Massachusetts Projectiles. She did a couple of Boston Harbor boat trips and other watery pursuits, including playing in a fountain.

Cecilia Rowedder is refinancing her mortgage and playing Beat the Clock with the paperwork.

Andrew Hines will be in North Carolina next month for his grandson's first birthday, along with his mother-in-law and daughter who are coming up from Florida. They have rented a house for the week and will be celebrating several family birthdays. Par-Tee!

Jay Wilensky reports that Circle Round the Sun, Gerry and Olga, and Dave Sherman recently had terrific gigs at Albert Music Hall (Pinelands). Albert Hall is a very warm, welcoming venue and com-munity, with a main-stage performance and several separate jams and song circles. It would be great if the Project could increase its presence there.

Kathy Moser just got a great gig creating a music program at Daytop New Jersey

Michael Mitsch will again be joining 75 musicians from around the world who’ll perform 50 songs in Atlanta at Olde Smith’s as part of the Theme Music Group (from Facebook). He will lead one nine-piece band and also play tenor sax in five other bands. All the songs have an animal in the title. Every week this group’s members post various collaborations or solo videos based on a different theme each week. ThemeStock 4 can be seen via a live stream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/1254055
