Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Charmion Date: 13 Sep 10 - 01:37 PM Amos, all participants at the Sleeping Workshop must of course bring their own instruments. As an accomplished soloist in this genre, I play the Single-Occupancy Sleeping Bag. Duets and trios must equip themselves accordingly. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bill D Date: 13 Sep 10 - 12:36 PM Pub sing is just 'songs that might done in pubs'....lots of choruses, drinking songs, rowdy stuff, 'clever ditties' that catch the attention....etc...even bawdy items.. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 13 Sep 10 - 11:49 AM Sheerly awesome!! Can the intrepid organizers provide me with a working definition for a Pub Song? It's been a few years since I habituated a pub. And some of those I was in were singing pop rock numbers. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: SINSULL Date: 13 Sep 10 - 11:13 AM Once again I can't be in three to four places at one time. All you have to do is add Elizabeth LaPrelle to the mix and my brain will implode. Jed Marum and Gordon Bok co hosting a workshop? LOL Too good to be true. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Nancy King Date: 12 Sep 10 - 11:51 PM Nope, no cloning workshop. Better too much than too little, right? So, take a look. Hope you like it! BUT please be aware that this is SUBJECT TO CHANGE. In fact, I was just about to suggest one when this got put up. I'll still suggest it, and we'll see what happens. If you are a workshop leader and we have you scheduled in two places at once, tell us, and we'll change it. If you just want to BE in two places at once, well, join the club. More details later... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 12 Sep 10 - 10:39 PM I see they have a doo wop workshop, and I'm free at that time. Dip, dip, dip, dip, noom, noom, noonm, noom, get a job. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Janie Date: 10 Sep 10 - 11:29 PM Anymore hints on the program? Would be nice to have time to hunt up or learn appropriate songs. (Ain't complaining, Nancy and committee, just wondering.) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Alaska Mike Date: 06 Sep 10 - 06:16 AM Well, I just got word that I will be co-hosting a songwriter's showcase on Sunday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. So all you song "makeruppers" be sure to bring your creations to the showcase and share them with the rest of us. Can't wait to hear the music. Mike |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 06 Sep 10 - 02:03 AM Charmion, It won't do--there are far too many young folkies who would sign up to sleep with you... Edmond wouldn't stand for it. :D A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 26 Aug 10 - 07:50 PM Charmion: I'm sure my better half would love to attend a Sleeping workshop, since she usually crashes out before me. But I do retain some sense. Even at the filk cons where I stay up much later than I ever do at the Getaway (like 4 or 5am), I will go to bed reasonably early on Sunday night if I know we're driving home Monday. (For some definitions of "reasonable". It's still usually midnight...) -- Gary |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Aug 10 - 12:31 PM The problem with the online signup form is that, if you leave the event window unselected, there is no default to Getaway 2010, so the order won't process. To solve the problem, click the arrow, move up or down to get to "Getaway 2010", then the form will work and go to payment. Otherwise you get a basically blank screen with the FSGW task bar at top. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: GUEST,Jed sans cookie Date: 26 Aug 10 - 12:10 PM Micca - you gave me a leather pouch you'd made, at the last Getaway I went (must be a decade plus ago). I've used that thing right up until this year. One of the snaps finally gave out - and I had left it out at a festival so I could find a leather vendor there to see about a repair ... and it walked off the CD table! They didn't steal any CDs - so I began to think maybe I was selling the wrong product!! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Charmion Date: 26 Aug 10 - 11:57 AM As the acknowledged expert Getaway sleeper, I would be delighted to lead the Sleeping workshop. Old-ish timers will remember a last night of the Getaway at Ramblewood, when the Mudcat cabin was heaving well into the small hours, and Charmion WENT TO BED and WENT TO SLEEP at eleven o'clock. One of us was going to have to drive back to Canada the next day, and I knew darned well that C. Edmund Thomas of this parish would never hit the sack until the last chord had ceased to ring. Anyone who wishes to learn the technique may apply within. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bobert Date: 25 Aug 10 - 08:22 PM Yeah, a "Sleeping Workshop" is definately one that everyone is gonna need... I mean, even if yer lucky enough to find a quiet room (I know, what's that???) then those sqeaky plastic matresses will keep ya' up... I'm kinda hoping that my brother get's hia boat-shaped-object back to his marina which is just 10 minutes away so I can go over there and crash on his boat... No, not crash his boat... lol... B~ |

|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: JedMarum Date: 25 Aug 10 - 04:13 PM Remembering my last visit to the Getaway - I believe there are two workshops needed to fill the gaps: 1) A sleeping workshop. This would be a participatory session, led for each of the sleeping areas and run from say, oh how about 1AM until 6AM? That'd be enough! 2) A "clothing is NOT optional in the mixed dorm areas" - probably needs no more clarification. ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: jacqui.c Date: 20 Aug 10 - 09:19 AM John - it doesn't have to be an organised event - something could be arranged outside of the programme. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: GUEST,John Date: 20 Aug 10 - 02:44 AM I still want to see the Getaway "stump the stars" fundraiser. Anybody who wants to enter puts up $5. They sing a couple of verses of a traditional song and stop at a random point selected by the "referee". If Judy Cook can sing the next line, then the scholarship fund gets the $5. If the singer stumps her, then the singer gets to keep their $5. Actually, Judy herself isn't absolutely necessary as the "expert". There are other knowledgeable people around. We could probably find a panel that knows about as many songs as Judy if we had enough chairs to seat them. It's just that it seems to me that she knows every song that has ever been sung since time of the lyre. I think this is the third year I have proffered this pearl. If no one picks it up this time, I will surrender this idea to its apparent doom and try to think of something else good enough for this excellent event. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Nancy King Date: 19 Aug 10 - 08:23 PM Charlie, we'll try, but I make no guarantees. There are still a lot of things hanging fire. MMario, I sure don't know what to tell you about the registration problem. In fact, I had trouble with that system last spring when I tried to order advance tickets to a concert. At that time, Dennis Cook (who is the person who's supposed to know how the whole business works) wrote to me, "The Sign-Up does not automatically fall through to a payment page after you register since it doesn't know when you are done. For many events there are separate registrations for students and non-members which might be added on to a member's initial registration. If you look at the 1-2-3 steps near the top of the page, step 3 is payment and should let you get to PayPal or ... print a registration page and mail it in." My problem was that the button for step 3 was grayed out. I ended up sending in a check. I have emailed Dennis calling your question to his attention, and perhaps he'll chime in with a workable solution. Of course, you can always print out the form and mail it in. (But that's the easy way, not the cowboy way...). I'm sure it will get worked out one way or another -- we're just glad you'll be there! Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Charley Noble Date: 19 Aug 10 - 04:22 PM Nancy et al- Love to see the workshop list before we leave for the UK on August 31. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: MMario Date: 19 Aug 10 - 04:19 PM May be wrong place to ask - but the 1-2-3 steps for signing up for Getaway wouldn't let me do step 3 - payment. Due I have to print it out and mail? It mentions my credit card but never allowed for me to enter information.....which is needed |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Nancy King Date: 18 Aug 10 - 11:12 AM Genie, thanks for the ideas! I think you'll find -- assuming you make the scene, and I hope you will -- that many of them have indeed been incorporated into the program for this year. And -- um -- it's too late at this point to add anything else. The program committee will be meeting again in about a week, and hope to be able to post a preliminary, provisional, still-subject-to-change workshop list soon after that. Rest assured, it will be great! Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Genie Date: 17 Aug 10 - 10:54 PM Lots of great suggestions here. I'd be especially interested in these (of those that have been suggested so far): Songs of the Civil War Cicely Fox Smith Gospel songs -- especially original Gospel songs by our (shudder!) "singer-songwriters"* "Parodies Lost And Regained"** (especially the outrageous ones!) Jewish songs Songwriter/songwriting workshop - especially if it's really about process and not just a "showcase" of original songs. Some others I think might be interesting would be: - "Original short shelf-life songs" (as Tom Paxton has on his website). Some of our best songs are too topical to become 'standards' but it can be a shame to lose them just for that. *g* - Song Challenge! - e.g, as we do at Mudcat, where people get a theme or news item and then write a song about it. If the story/theme were given, say, on Friday night and the workshop were on Saturday or Sunday, it could be a lot of fun to see what people came up with. - Rap and Hip-Hop as "Folk" -- OK, I'm just kidding. (I think) - Songs about "crossing over"/tributes to "silent voices" -- As we're getting older (some of us more obviously than others), we're also 'losing' many dear friends and wonderful folk voices (including Barry, Sandy, Utah, etc.). Often such events inspire wonderful musical tributes and/or songs about that 'process." I know I've written a few for such occasions. This can be a really nice 'workshop' or at least 'song sharing' session. My preference would be for original compositions, but that's not carved in stone (on a tombstone or elsewhere). *and why doesn't anyone ever call them singer-songwriter-guitarist or singer-songwriter-pianist, etc.? ** Severn, it's great to know that you're back in such fine (?) form again! LOL |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bobert Date: 04 Jul 10 - 08:39 AM Civil War workshop??? I don't have too many appropriate songs but I guess I could dust off a couple non-blues ballads... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 03 Jul 10 - 11:53 PM I've written two songs about the start of small towns in southern Wisconsin and their story. One other, now that I think of it. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 03 Jul 10 - 11:23 PM OK, now that I have my life back... (Stop that laughing. I do **too** have a life!) I'm always up for doing Parodies, Humorous Songs, or Jewish Songs, if you need or want me for either. There was a Songs From Literary Sources workshop many Getaways ago (might have been back at Letts even) that had good songs -- ISTR Bob Zentz doing a couple of C. Fox Smith settings -- and was decently attended. I also ran a pretty good Open Sing on the same topic 6 or 7 years ago. Severn's idea of "Settlements to Towns to Cities" is right up my professional alley *and* my musical alley. Noting my signature songs "City By The Lake" and "Sedona"). "Wood If We Could" falls in there too. -- Gary |
