March 9 and 30 work best for me. March 2 might not be impossible but it could be tight.

Sundays in ski season never good for me.  Depends this year on if ever snow, more so if there is some later.

Thanks,

I'm working on better chording for the Big Band music you play so well,
and want to give it a shot (I know this isn't the Hoe Down so I don't
expect the accordion dance music). I can only make it March 9 however.

hi everyone,
It looks like we have a quorum for Sunday, March 2 at 2:00 or 3. Please put the date on your calendars.
We have Tim, Jim, Paul, Patrick, Dylan, Lauren and me. Dan Pitt is a maybe and I haven't heard from Casey, Steve, or Warren. so hopefully we will have a few more in our number.
I hope to set up two rehearsals the two weeks before on two different nights of the week. If there is a week night you can't make a rehearsal let me know and I will do my best to schedule accordingly. By the way, has anyone had experience in setting up a doodle poll? Might make it a lot easier to schedule performances and rehearsals in the future. Let me know if you know how to do it.
see you soon.
Susan

Thanks Susan for doing the work to organize the gig. 
It would be good to know what to practice …
Can we assume that the playlist would be the same as what we played at Lytton last year, or would there be some changes?

-Jim

Hi everyone

Steve's studio is available for rehearsal on:
Wed, Feb. 19
Tuesday,  Feb 25

It would be good to have two rehearsals so everyone could make it to at least one. I have a conflict on Wed. 2/19 and don't know if I'll be able to make it, but will be there on 2/25. 
Let me know which rehearsals you can do so we know who will be at each one.
Both will begin at 7:30.

See ya soon.

Sure we will start out with the new songs: Dixie Downbeat and Coney Island Washboard. ..


John has a big presentation tomorrow, and needs me to be home as much as I can.  I will try to make the
rehearsal at 8pm.  Can we hold my songs until then?

Hi everyone

Thanks for the great music you all played at Lytton yesterday. I thought the performance was one of our best. Some really good sounds. We drew a good crowd when they heard our Dixieland coming out of that social hall. The staff and residents really appreciate our faithfulness over the years. And I think it is a lot of fun.

Thanks also for your time and effort rehearsing and learning some new tunes. Hopefully we'll get more rehearsal time next time.

Have a great week.

Susan
