Fri. Aug. 7: David Massengill with Sharon GoldmanSongwriter David Massengill’s rural Tennessee roots are still evident in his speech even after four decades of living in the heart of the Greenwich Village NYC folk scene. Both of these environments shape his performances. They show up in the gritty and touching reality of his classic “My Name Joe” and “Great American Dream,” and in the homespun stories of his country upbringing. David plays guitar and dulcimer as well as your heartstrings.

Sharon Goldman is a Folk Project member, and a very fine singer-songwriter. Her songs are plain, but not simple, sophisticated, but not impenetrable. She sings of family, of relationships, and of stories worth hearing.

Fri. Aug. 14: 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. Aug. 21: Craig Bickhardt with Brandon BroderickThe artists who have recorded Craig Bickhardt’s songs read like a who’s who of folk and country stars. Johnny Cash, BB King, Ray Charles, Tony Rice, Alison Krauss, David Wilcox, Janis Ian, and Jonathan Edwards top the list of 100 or so. But no one can perform them with panache and feeling better than Craig himself. His singing is heartfelt, and his guitar chops are outstanding. He’s a brilliant performer.

Brandon Broderick is a young singer-songwriter who came to our attention at one of our Open Stages. His songs focus on lyrical content and song structure. His goal is to write captivating songs that make people think, evoke emotional response, or to share a story or personal experience.

Fri.–Sun. Aug. 28–30: Uke New Jersey 3

A three-day festival for players and lovers of the ukulele featuring Li’l Rev, Craig Chee & Sarah Maisel, Jim & Liz Beloff, Steve Boisen, Christine DeLeon, and more. As in years past, we will start the fes-tivities with a concert on Friday night and continue on Saturday with workshops, jams, vendors, and friendship, culminating with the second concert on Saturday night. Sunday is a freeform Jam on the Green in downtown Morristown, hosted by our local Meetup Group

“Morristown Uke Jam.”

August Evening o' MusicSat. 8/8, 8pm • Dave & Ann Marie Schwartz's

23 Heller Road, Blairstown, NJ • 908/459-5424

It’s time for a lovely drive out in the country where there may not be deer and antelope, but WE can be the ones playing! Our hosts generously plan on offering a larger than the typical amount of food, so snack contributions can be light with mostly beverages needed. Most of all, bring your instruments … and just think what all that country air will do for our voices. Arrive a little early (at 7:15pm) for something extra special … a sheep herding demonstration with Dave's faithful sheep dog. Let’s find out if his ukulele is one of the soothing sounds that help guide the sheep home.

Directions: Take Rt 80 west to exit 12. > Turn left onto route 521 south. > Go one mile and turn left at the blinker light in Hope onto Rt 519 north. > Go 3.5 miles to the driveway on the right. The sign says Watercress Farm/Schwartz. The property spans two roads and there is a driveway on each, so the address “667 Hope-Johnsonburg Rd, Blairstown” is good too.

Pelvis Burlapp’s Back-to-School GuideAs the days grow shorter, and the children grow larger, September visits us like a melancholy aunt on a bender. Our Folk Project demographic would have one think that young children are not on our minds. But, who is that “one,” and who gave her permission to put a comma inside the quota-tion marks? The answer, of course, is: grandchildren.

Yes, it’s painful to admit, but many of our longtime members are now, or soon will be, granpee or gramma or poppop or weaseltoes, or some other name that upsets spellcheck. So our job now is not to be good upstanding parents (we already failed at that), but to create havoc in our children’s homes by encouraging our grandkids to do cool stuff and possess dangerous objects. September is second only to Christmas and birthdays in that regard. Okay, third.

Start with permanent markers. Kids love to write on stuff, so why not make it permanent? I rec-ommend Indestruckto Brand markers. They make Sharpies look like invisible ink. Encourage the grandkids to make their world an art exhibit. Draw a dinosaur on the white curtains! Practice writ-ing your name on the ceiling! Personalize the Chihuahua!

Scissors make great back-to-school gifts. If a child is old enough to use the toilet, they’re old enough for industrial scissors! Why struggle with those blunt kiddie scissors? Hey, that T-Rex you drew on the curtain? Cut it out, and take it to school…your teacher will be impressed! Safety note: boxcut-ters and X-acto knives shouldn’t be given to children under six.

Besides buying them inappropriate school materials, you can have some fun by playing “games” before the first day of school. This is especially effective if it’s the first day in a new school. Teach your grandchild that his or her “school name” is different from their “home name.” Instruct them to use their new name whenever speaking to the teacher. Examples of school names would be: Shmeemama Porkenstein, Doobie Swandive, Fafafafa Blueberrymuffin, and so on. These are, of course, gender-neutral monikers.

A related game is to teach the grandchild how to address the new teacher. Teach them that when they want the teacher’s attention NEVER raise your hand. Jump up and down, yelling, “Hey! You! Big person!” Once the teacher says, “Yes, Shmeemama?” the correct reply is “Your holiness, may I eliminate my body fluids in the proper receptacle?” This advice will guarantee a first day of school they will never forget!

Meet the Board: Deborah GrahamMy introduction to the Folk Project actually came through contra dancing. Truth will out, I love to dance, and a New Year’s resolution a few years ago had me looking for more local opportunities to dance. During the intermission, I wandered over to the entrance table and looked at some of the flyers for other events, and the Friday Minstrel Acoustic Concerts sounded interesting. I have been attending the Minstrel regularly ever since. I started volunteering as a baker…a sort of innocuous painless way to help out I figured. It was an easy transition to helping in the kitchen…oh wait, working at the door sounds sort of interesting. As a former flight attendant, I like people, and that’s pretty people oriented. And the first thing you know, I had worked most of the volunteer posi-tions except MC and Sound. I discovered a rich community of devoted music lovers, and I highly recommend it as a way of getting to know members of the community.

My position on the Board of Directors is Trustee. In that capacity I attend board meetings, listen, add thoughts, and have a vote. The meeting could not function without a quorum, and the trustees are part of that quorum, and so I consider it my responsibility and honor to attend and participate.

My day job is a graphic designer, and behind the scenes the Minstrel has given me an opportunity to offer my love of design and visual creativity. I create the monthly color posters that are lov-ingly printed out by other volunteers I actually don’t know who or where and posted throughout Northern New Jersey. I am always happy to create flyers for upcoming events when asked, and my greatest honor was being offered the opportunity to design the replacement banner that was beautifully rendered as a quilt by my co-conspirator, Beth Wilson.

Jake Shimabukuro Uke ConcertThurs., 8/27, 8pm • Keswick Theatre, Glenside, PA

Consider the humble ukulele. It's an adaptation of a stringed instrument that traveled with Portuguese immigrants who came to work in the sugar cane fields of Hawaii. Islanders made the

"machete" their own, mixing external influences of classical European music and Spanish guitar with Hawaiian songs. Native Hawaiians renamed the little machete the ukulele and it's become synonymous with Hawaiian music and Hawaiian culture.

Jake Shimabukuro comes from that same process of mixing both island and outside influences, both modern and historical. He's combined the qualities of a long line of virtuoso ukulele players with modern rock musi-cians to create a sound that's uniquely his own but still firmly grounded in Hawaiian tradition.

Growing up in Hawaii, Jake's influences include legendary ukulele players like Eddie Kamae, Ohta-San and Peter Moon. Jake also credits icons like Bruce

Lee and Michael Jordan as a source of inspiration.

Known for his energetic strumming on the ukulele, Jake's performance incorporates elements of thoughtful, sophisticated arrangements to spontaneous, improvised passages. In addition to his original compositions, his repertoire includes Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Schubert's Ave Maria, and Cohen's Hallelujah.

Keswick Theatre, 291 N. Keswick Ave, Glenside, PA, 215/572-7650.

54th Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival Thurs.–Sun., 8/13–16 • Old Pool Farm, Schwenksville, PA

The Philadelphia Folk Festival is thrilled to announce that Lyle Lovett and his Large Band will be appearing for the first time ever at the 54th Annual event taking place on the Old Pool Farm in Upper Salford Township August 13–16, 2015.

Lovett is considered one of the most original and distinctive singers and songwriters today, com-bining his incisive, witty lyrics with an eclectic array of music styles, ranging from country and folk to big-band swing and traditional pop. Joined by his Large Band, Lyle Lovett will be taking the Martin Guitar Main Stage on Saturday night, August 15th.

A singer, composer, and actor, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel, and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Lovett has appeared in 13 feature films, and on stage and television. Among his many accolades, besides his four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association's inaugural Trailblazer Award, and was recently named the Texas State Musician.

These additional performers will also be appearing (along with some guy called Agranoff ):

Folk Project Board Meeting • July 7, 2015Board Meeting: The Summary

The Directors of The Folk Project…

were called to order at 8:02pm at the home of Mark and Robin Schaffer. The night was… sultry.

Present were Joanne Cronin, Lois DeRitter, Deborah Graham, Grover Kemble, Allan Kugel, Bob McNally, Lindsey Meyer, Barrett Wilson and Jay Wilensky (Trustees), Mike Agranoff, Pat Brangs, Ken Brody, Christine DeLeon, Mike Del Vecchio, Lori Falco, Scooter Ferguson, Paul Fisher, Elizabeth Lachowicz, George Otto, Chris Riemer, Mark Schaffer and Leigh Walker (Other Board Members) and Mercury the Dog (Guest). Absent were Andrew Hines and Ed Roffman.

The acceptance of the minutes was deferred until next month, given the absence of our regular recording secretary. Treasurer (and Acting Secretary) Chris Riemer reported that we’re in much better financial shape than we were in January.

A good part of the meeting went to the Ad Hoc Technology Committee, which has been work-ing under the leadership of George Otto since June 2014. Its mandate was to consider how the Project could best make use of technology in general and social media in particular. Tonight, we heard the committee’s final recommendations, which centered on the organizational integration of our independently-managed Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as the creation of a new Folk Project YouTube channel. We can’t do the report justice here, but all present thanked George and his team for an excellent job (applause, applause). The folk process moves into the 21st cen-tury. Stay tuned for further developments.

We also talked about the board meeting report that was published in the July newsletter. Several directors were concerned that it presented an incomplete picture of an ongoing narrative, and did so in a way that could cause consternation among the general membership. Like any family, things on the Board can get heated sometimes and we talked about publishing a retraction to make that clear. In the end, we decided a formal retraction wasn’t necessary, but that we would take the opportunity of using this report to let people know we’re working through the issues.

And as far as the committees, we learned that:

We had a “spectacularly” successful Special Concert for the Welsh band Calan, and Scooter thanked Barrett Wilson for managing the event in his absence. The band did very well with its share of the gate and also sold over $1,000 in merchandise.

We are only one week into the registration period, and already have 92 people signed up for the Fall Getaway. That’s more than half of the available seats, and demonstrates that engagement is more important than marketing. The best customers are repeat customers.

Horses Sing None of It could use some more volunteers, and can broaden the area of volunteer eligibility if they can get on more cable channels. So if they’re not offered by YOUR local cable company, call them up and ask.

Mike Del Vecchio has purchased and procured the new sound gear for the Minstrel and used it for the first time at the Calan show. He’s very, very happy with it and many of those present also spoke to the night-and-day difference they could hear that evening.

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 10:28. Next month’s meeting is at the home of Grover Kemble, in Morris Plains.

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, [email protected]

George Otto's niece Katy just had her firstborn last month, a son named David.

Elizabeth Lachowicz thanks all for support regarding her sister Susan in Chicago who is out of the hospital and doing much better. While she was in Chicago, Elizabeth attended two family weddings, saw a lot of cousins, and took a road trip to Wisconsin and Michigan. While in Michigan they stayed at Shari Korenstein and Tom Picard's B&B in West Bloomfield. Tom and Shari have a gorgeous house, perfect for Evenings of Music; they miss us terribly, and offer their abode to any Projectiles who would like to visit.

Lindsey Meyer is thrilled about Miles' new job at Sound Lounge. One of the other employees left for another company, and Miles is now full-time assistant sound mixer.

Mark Schaffer thanks everyone for welcoming his mother over the Fourth of July weekend. Mark's grandson just turned two and Robin picked the gift—a WonderWork bubble blower. The consen-sus was that we could use one at the Minstrel.

Mike Agranoff is booked for the Philadelphia Folk Festival. He'll be there Friday and Saturday, then zip across the state to play Sunday at a brand-new folk festival in Malverne, Long Island called the Crossroads Folk Festival. Gathering Time will also be there.

Joanne Cronin recommends Love and Mercy, the Brian Wilson biopic. Great performances by Paul Dano as the Pet Sounds-era Brian and John Cusack as middle-aged Brian. Well worth seeing for any music fan.

Vicki Lederman is looking for a new position to develop new consumer products to drive sales and grow business. She's worked in the furniture, home furnishings, and tabletop industry, study-ing the market and competitive landscape for new opportunities, building and running design and product development departments, to working with retail buyers and is interested in new opportunities to develop profitable consumer goods. Check out her LinkedIn profile.

Sat., Aug 1: MELANIE AXEL-LUTE & RUMPUSRick Mohr: fiddle • Sarah Gowan: guitar • Bill Quern: mandolin, banjo, accordion • Joe De Paolo: drums, percussion

The night Max and Melanie wore their wolf suits and made mischief of one kind and another. They sailed off through the night and day crossing the ocean wave to where the wild things are, and they were made king and queen of all wild things. And now Max and Melanie cried "let the wild Rumpus start." And the wild things roared their terrible roars and swang their terrible swings and heyed their terrible heys and cornered their terrible contras. And Max and Melanie danced back into the night of their very own room where they found their supper, and it was still hot.

Sat., Aug 15: BOB ISAACS & JUSTIN NAWN and BRONWYN BIRDAfternoon Playshop and Evening Dance sponsored by Ken Crawford to celebrate his birthday.

Free afternoon playshop from 3–6pm with music by Justin Nawn and Bronwyn Bird.Ken will discuss and demonstrate many different kinds of dancing as everyone joins in the fun. Evening contra dance,$5 per person (free for those attending playshop).

This Justin: at Tern, birds of a feather flock together as the Bronwyn Bird whistles its tune as the Bobwhite makes us quail as he macaws high flying contras to make us screech owl night and leave us puffin. After using your spoonbill to swallow some kiwi and magpie at the break, cormorant and raven from heron in or you’ll egret it. If you don’t budgie, you’ll be bittern.

Fri., Aug. 21: BOB ISAACS & UNBOWEDSpecial Friday night free dance sponsored by Debbie Naha to celebrate her birthday.

Henry Koretzky: mandolin • Jamie O’Brien: guitar
