Coming Soon: Musical Day Cookout

[ellyssian]

On the last Saturday of May, we'll be hosting our Musical Day Cookout.

Here be the official signup sheet. =)

The menu will most likely be traditional cookout fare. Salads, deserts, chips, drinks, and so forth will be up to you! Post here with what you'll be bringing.

The musical portion of the day will involve all manner of acoustic instruments depending on who comes and what instruments they bring - pianists, harpsichordists, and organists, no need to worry about lugging out your portable baby grand or pipe organ console, bellows, and piiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeepsssssss, Justin's keyboard will monopolize the electrical supply and will be available. The purpose is fun, so no worries if you don't have one or more songs on the Top 40 and have yet to be featured on the front cover of Modern Ocarinist magazine (or whatever the appropriate journal for your instrument might be).

Saturday, May 26 - grill ignited @ 1pm (earlier if crowds demand it!)

I'll be postdating an identical copy of this for May 26, so it should be easy to find - I'll edit that one with a list of who's coming and what they're bringing as I find out! =)

Hmmm...pencil me in for a tentative appearance with mom (she might or might not be working at her second job that weekend)...

So, what if one doesn't play a musical instrument? Does an off-key bargain-countertenor who usually ends up under the table count? :-)

But... you listen to prog... you've got to have, at the least, a set of roto-toms... =)

Hope you can make it!

We're still planning to come. As long as time allows, I'm expecting to bring something chocolate.

I'm shocked. Aghast. As if something might prove more important to you than chocolate... unless, of course, it is *more* chocolate... =)

If you have any copies of the new disc handy, bring at least one with you! I haven't ordered a copy yet and would rather fork over the cash to you directly, if that's do-able.

Yeah, I thought it might be a bit of a surprise. It seemed more polite to be specific, rather than just saying, "I'll bring something."

we'll be there, with some sort of pasta salad (maybe two sorts). and cj will bring along her guitar (can't promise she'll play it though, we'll see)

And what instrument will *you* be playing?

And did you ask Jeffrey to come along? =)

I'm sorry I'm going to miss this one. I intend to be a long way away on that day though, listening to good music here: http://www.nwfolklife.org/ .
