14 Sep 02 - 12:17 AM (#783633) Subject: West Coast session info? From: aaronjclegg Hi everyone! I'm newly signed up and would like info on any sessions along the West Coast of the U.S. I'm from New Hampshire, but am visiting the entire West Coast over the next two to three months. I sing shanties and play Celtic flute, and would love to do some playing and singing while I'm out here. Thanks! Aaron. |

From: GUEST,SharonG Hi Aaron Arizona is not exactly "west coast", but if you venture out this way, we have sessions on Tuesdays- alternating between the Rincon Market (1st and 3rd Tuesdays) and the Frog and Firkin Pub (2nd and 4th Tuesdays). The Rincon sessions are more eclectic, and the Frog & Firkin sessions are Irish. Sharon |

From: Barry Finn By any chance do you also play fiddle, mandolin & accordian too & once in a blue moon hit the Press Room back home? Where are you gonna be & when (not that I'll see you there) so people here can give you percise info? There's a good bit of West Coasters that frequent the mudcat that you'll love playing with & a bunch from the Portland area too. Have a blast out there, see ya sometime back east. Barry in Derry |

14 Sep 02 - 05:01 PM (#784012) Subject: RE: West Coast session info? From: aaronjclegg Barry in Derry, I do hit the Press Room more often than not when I'm back home, but I only sing and play flute and whistle. Everyone else: Thanks for the info. I'm not sure about my travel dates but I will be spending about a week in Portland, OR in the end of Sept, then some time in Bend, then Eureka/Arcata, CA, then Bay Area, then Santa Cruz, then Santa Barbara, San Diego, and probably some time in New Mexico. Aaron. |

Aaron doesn't play fiddle, only sits on them. (Hehehe) Aaron, have a nice trip. Everyone else, Aaron is a very good singer and a wonderful flute & whistle player. He's also a heck of a nice guy and plays well with others. |

14 Sep 02 - 11:53 PM (#784202) Subject: RE: West Coast session info? From: Barry Finn See & all along I thought it was Doug incognito, didn't think (there I go again, no thinking from now on, bad boy). Hi Arron, sorry about the mix up but Clegg, NH, Music I thought (well you now know what I thought). Is your Dad out that way? Last time I talked with him (a good while ago) he had the West Coast on his mind. Pass on a hello from me, will ya. Tell him I always thought of him as to young to have kids already grown (just teasing him). Have a great time. Hi Jeri, Doug does squeezables (that sounds fresh) & other assorted strings aside from fiddle. Barry
