Subject: RE: How much folking d'ye get each week?
My folking of preference the last few years has been the jam. Love it.

Have you noticed the same phenomenon that I have recently?- if I don't have an instrument with me, I'm perfectly content to just sit and listen. Somehow your instrument reminds you that you were planning to do something- changes the whole mindset.

I also love working sessions. My singing partner and I meet several times a week, in addition to the weekly song circle.

We are also now in the process of bringing a third person in to make a trio out of what we're doing. SP and I have learned about 40 songs now and worked out harmonies for them. With the new member coming in on some songs - he has a high tenor voice - we'll develop a different format with a third harmony. It's all fun.

We recently started a monthly folk club too and it's a blast.
