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.

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.

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

Hi all,
I'm not a member of the musicians list and I may have success here, hence this post.
A client informed me that his 20-something daughter - fiddler since 5 - had moved to
Modesto, CA a year ago and not yet linked in with a community of musicians. She has
apparently sat in with the Old Sod Band here in Ottawa at some point for a dance. I've
not met her.
At this point, having recently started a new job, she may not be actively seeking musical
contacts. Nonetheless, if anyone can suggest a contact for her - Bay area? Sacramento?
Alvin, Yogi, Smoky in Yosemite? - which I can pass along, I would be happy to do so.
