Davis (California) Singers and Pickers Circle has been operating over a 30 year period. We have evolved into an every other week, themed gathering. We rotate between each other's homes signing up for hosting usually every three months (thanks to email). Our few rules are: taking turns, when it's your turn sing a song-pass-request a song, say if you want others to sing or play along if not all should listen. We prefer that people learn the song but printed words are OK. We take a break after first go around have snacks and drinks. Start at 7:30 end 10:00 on Wednesdays. We usually draw about 16 people and maintain a slow turnover. We get people at all performance levels and have seen many blossom within our little community.
