Just refreshing the thread in case anyone is interested. We met last night for the first song circle. I was pleasantly surprised about how well it went over. We had a good contingent of bluegrass musicians who seemed to be accepting and eager to learn from other traditions as well as supplying excellent instrumental support. Unfortunately I found out after I booked the venue that there were many folks in an English Country Dance group who had a schedule conflict so I'm going to get another song circle together in a couple of weeks that they can participate in.

I emailed an excerpt from the recent song circle ettiquete thread around to those who had sent me their addresses and let them know about Mudcat so maybe I won't be the only Utahn here for much longer.
