Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: Fred Maslan Date: 29 Nov 13 - 07:59 PM Joe, my return flight is at 12:50 on the first. I would most happily not run more than two or three workshops! We usually do circles the way you mentioned. but I thought I would have the words to a few songs that may not be well known. (Maybe to hand out after they are sung. |

Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Nov 13 - 07:18 PM Hi, Fred - I'll put you in touch by e-mail with Deborah Sandler and Daniel Hersh and Shelby Solomon, who have usually been at least part of the group organizing our Shabbat service at Camp Harmony/New Harmony. Although workshops don't really begin until Saturday, it might be good to have Shabbat before or after dinner on Friday. Since we meet at a Jewish camp, the cook always makes terrific challah for Shabbat - but we have to bring our own wine. Workshops are fifty minutes long, but often extend to an hour. Certain workshops are two hours, but that's by exception. As at the Getaway, song lyrics handouts are generally not considered kosher, but they sometimes work well for specific workshops. The general practice is to sing your own song in a workshop, and then the next person sings his/her own song. Songs with choruses work especially well. I'm going to say that there are no copying facilities available for camper use. We do print copies of the daily schedule and there may be a scanner on that printer, but that's something I don't know. I do know that the printer is not offered for general use because we need to make sure it's available and has supplies enough for printing the schedule. So, figure that there is no copy making capability at camp. I hadn't thought of arranging rides (and don't want to volunteer for the task), but I think we can use this thread quite nicely for that purpose. I'll re-post your request. I'm going to say this with some trepidation because there are a number of exceptions, but in general, people don't host more than two or three workshops at Camp New Harmony. An exception is the daily caller's workshop in the dance hall, and standard things like the ballads workshops and the Triple Crown and (of course) Improv Chinese opera with Zurnas. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: Fred Maslan Date: 29 Nov 13 - 06:22 PM Joe, Do we have copy making capability at the Camp? Fred |
Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: Fred Maslan Date: 29 Nov 13 - 06:09 PM Joe, I would love to have Charlie Baum come, The Sabbath songs are usually sung during a meal and seated around a table. Logistically we were able to have a table at Getaway but it was w.o. food and that would be fine although grape juice or other beverage might be nice.Scheduled. Remind me to pick up grape juice and wine. There will be a separate Shabbat on Friday evening. Across the Great Divide, Moving West: "Sweet Betsy from Pike", "Oregon trail","Augustus and Catherine (Bill Gallaher)" etc. Run it as a circle but with a handout. Scheduled. Waiting for agreement on Shabbat I would be happy to run a G.A. Songbook workshop which could include Broadway. Again as a Circle. But it would be nice to have a Co-host (hort?)This often works well with a bunch of books from musicals and Tin Pan Alley songs, and I wouldn't be able to bring much from Seattle. Waiting for you and Marlene McCall to choose date/time/location I figure an hour for the workshops? Lastly, I will be arriving at noon Friday at Oakland, and I will need a ride out to camp and I will need to be at the Oakland Airport by 11:50 on the first. I don't know if you are the right person to arrange that. Hope you had a Great Thanksgiving. Fred |
Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: GUEST Date: 24 Nov 13 - 04:12 PM Joe, Fred Maslan here. I would like to do a workshop on Z'mirot shel Shabat or Sabbath Songs. Preferably Saturday around lunch. This is the workshop that Charlie and I did at Getaway. I'd also like to do a workshop "Crossing the great Divide" (heading west). and hopefully someone is doing the Great American Songbook.
Please give more of a description of where you want to go with your "Great Divide" workshop. Don't know of a Great American Songbook workshop yet, but we usually have songs from musicals. Wanna volunteer for a G-A-S workshop? -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Nov 13 - 07:54 PM Looks like I'd better get to work on adding these to the schedule, but I'm still pretty swamped. I think it might be an idea to let requests come in for a while, and then balance them out - but I'll get to it soon. -Joe- |

"California Songs: I've Got A Bunch, You?" Ruben's House, 1 PM Sat 2. "Ray Bierl Mini-concert" Sunday 4 PM at Ruben's - right after Debby McClatchy. 3. "Guitar: A Dozen+ Ways To Work A Flatpick (All levels)" 1 pm Study Center, Monday Thanks! Ray Scheduled. I'm glad to see the mini-concert, since I missed your full concert in my area. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: GUEST,Hali Hammer Date: 09 Nov 13 - 01:56 PM I usually do a beginning guitar workshop. We'll be coming up Sunday afternoon, perhaps Monday or Tuesday some time from noon on would be good. Please don't schedule me the same time as Laurie Vela, since I often do things with her at her workshops. Also, Laurie and I usually do a Wild Women workshop, so if she's already mentioned that to you, please make it for some time late afternoon Sunday, or Monday or Tuesday. - Thanks, Hali
Wild Women 4 PM Monday, Ruben's House |
Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: GUEST,Peter Ross Date: 05 Nov 13 - 04:23 AM Hi Joe, I'd like to host a workshop on shape note singing midday (12 to 1 or 1 to 2) on Monday. (By host, I mean that I'll bring a stack of booklets with 32 songs from The Sacred Harp, that we've used in workshops at the SF Free Folk Festival many times.) Reuben's House would be nice for it, but other places would work too. I see that you already have shape note singing scheduled on Sunday morning, but I won't be getting to camp until late Sunday afternoon, so perhaps someone else can lead that one? And anyway, you can never be too thin nor have too many shape note singing workshops! Thanks, Peter
-Joe- |

Of course, I want to do some workshops at Harmony. Before I list a few of them, it was nice seeing you at the Getaway even if we didn't talk much. I'm sure we'll more than make up for it at Harmony. Here are at least a couple of workshop suggestions, and I'll probably call you with some further ones down the road. 1. Songs and Stories of the Supernatural 2. Wit and Humor in Song and Story 3. Songs and Stories of the Bizarre Peace and love, Robert Rodriquez |

Subject: RE: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Workshop Signups From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Aug 13 - 03:44 AM Camp Harmony got its name because it used to meet at Camp Harmon, outside Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz mountains. The camp moved in about 2010 to Camp Newman, on the road between Santa Rosa and Calistoga. It then became Camp New Harmony. Camp Newman will hold 600 campers, but we usually have 300-350 participants. That gives us lots of extra room. Camp Newman is in the middle of a huge reconstruction project that will replace most of the housing we use. This link will lead you to information about the first six of a projected 16 new cabins. Once the 16 cabins are completed, the camp will construct a new dining hall. By the time we're old and grey, we will be able to camp in luxury. In the meantime, it's still a wonderful place to have our camp. -Joe- |
Subject: Camp New Harmony 2013-14, Camp Information From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Jul 13 - 08:56 PM
This is an edited thread for recording signups for workshops for the San Francico Folk Music Club's Camp New Harmony. The camp is held the week after Christmas every year at Camp Newman, on the road between Calistoga and Santa Rosa, California. The camp Website is http://sffmc.org/harmony_body.html. Registration for camp opened September 15. Dates for camp are Friday, December 27, 2013, ending on Wednesday, January 1, 2014. I'm going to use this as an edited thread to record pre-camp signups for workshops. We expect, as usual, that most people will sign up for workshops after they get to camp.
