For your information, the Reno Song Circle (USA) has been meeting monthly on the second Friday for fifteen years. There are usually about 40-60 people. Each person gets a name tag with a number on it. When that number is called that person calls the tune (we use the Rise up Singing collection as our primary text, but people will bring distribution copies of other songs, too). When all the requests have been called (usally after about three hours)then the singing goes free form, stream of consciousness determining the selections; most often this is by far the really interesting part of the night. There are usually around five to ten musicians (mostly guitar, but we've had nearly every instrument from time to time including Chinese "fiddle," stand up bass, banjo, mando, dulcimers of all types, etc.). The cost? Bring a dessert to share and $1 to support the mailings of the schedule. This format works for us. Join us if you're in Reno NV on the second Friday of the month. Best regards
