jeff s Song Circle Locations (162* d) RE: Song Circle Locations 29 Jul 97

So what do we call a song circle? I've seen two general forms. One is where the emphasis is on having the picker "perform" and everybody accompanies or joins in on the chorus. The other assumes that everybody should join in as soon as they figure out the song. The latter groups tend to use RUS the former don't. The performers seem to advertise and the RUS folks don't. I noticed that somebody posted the Homestead Picking parlor sessions which I put in the performer category. He didn't say anything about the 4 other groups that I know about (I used to live in the Twin Cities) that fall in the RUS category. The first Tuesday group at First Universalist is next one that meets. I should point out that I don't think that either format is better. I would like to find a RUS group in the Chicago area though. (Ah, a point to this post!)
