Subject: South Bay Old Time 5/14 now on line

5/20 Sunday              EOP

5/21 Monday 7-9 pm  South Bay Old Time session in Palo Alto  http://www.showman.org/jams/oti/

Fandango Pizza has closed. We are now meeting in the Fireside Room at Palo Alto Unitarian Universalist Church, 505 E Charleston.   https://goo.gl/maps/jF1eX5nbQvu

We will be meeting here for the foreseeable future. 

I have loaded the files onto gdrive, as my dropbox account was running out of memory. 

I have now added the tracks from the 5/14 session and updated the listings.

             or if this one is easier to remember: http://tinyurl.com/p722tyf

We played 45 tunes selected by 18 people.  This brought the number of tracks up to 10,971

Newly recorded tunes: A May Pole Song & "Sal's Got Mud Between Her Toes"

We now have 623 different tunes and songs from 285 sessions with 239 different people selecting tunes. 

I'm attaching the new sessions as PDF files and the performance grid as an XLS. 

Here is the updated link to the complete list

I also include a folder of tunes performed by the Canote twins, Greg & Jere which was contributed by Dan Murphy. 

 This folder also contains a PDF of Samuel Preston Bayard's first book "Hill Country Tunes" 

 The Canotes grew up in Los Gatos and moved to the Seattle area. 

 They have performed as the Small Wonder String Band. 

 In addition to being fine Old Time musicians, they have also performed as their alter egos, the Spoonoplians. 

 I first saw them do this at the SFFMC New Years camp in the early 80s
