We meet at Starbucks in Colchester on Sundays at 5:30pm - 7:30pm (directions pasted below)and go over songs and tunes in that quiet setting for a while [ I have permission for this]. If we work up anything that is truly performable we go a few doors down to Billy O'Brian's Irish Pub and crash that place with a quick Irish set. This is being listed as a Slow-Jam, which means that we will present tunes very slowly and play them through multiple times. Come even if you just sort of play an instrument a little, little bit (or like to gawk, talk, or sing along). This is also a bit of an excuse for us like minded people to sit down and drink coffee together.(I have this listed on thesessions.org, a site for just this kind of thing.) The host has a bunch of tunes printed out in standard notation, but we'll be doing them slowly so come even if you can't read. Bring a music stand if you have one. You may wish to go and have an earlier dinner at Billy O'Brian's. It is a nice place with a good Irish atmosphere and good food. DIRECTIONS: Come from wherever on Rte 2 East or West - take Exit 18 in either direction - Right at the end of the exit (in either direction) and go toward Colchester Center on Rte 16East - Pass Blockbuster on the right and quickly drive up to the town green (between the big white churchon the right and the town library on the left) - with the green in front of you take a LEFT AT THE LIGHT and pass Billy O'Brian's Irish Pub on your left - turn left at the next light in to the plaza after Billy O'Brian's - Starbucks is in this plaza, facing the smaller memorial green across the street
