I got home from camp this evening. We had fewer people, but still a lot of campers. I think some stayed away because camp was a few days later than usual - January 3 is the latest day we end camp. It's all based on what day of the week Christmas falls on. Can't say I understand the formula for determining the dates of camp.
I think some people stayed away because we warned them that construction at the camp would make it a bit harder to get around this year. It was more difficult, but we made it work.
SF Folk Music Club members, feel free to post any comments or suggestions below.
Thanks for coming. I had a great time.

I'd like to do Musical Theater song swap on Wednesday, preferably 2 hrs. consecutive in the carpeted room. Looks like the only time available is lunchtime, but that's OK I guess. Alternatively, 1 hr at Reuben's house. Please don't conflict w/ other popular singing workshops. Thanks!

Hi, Kathrine. I put you in Yellow Room 22 late afternoon. Nothing available midday.

I'm leaving for camp on Monday morning, December 28. I will keep online workshop signups open until I start working on the schedules at camp, probably the afternoon of Tuesday, December 29 - I'll post a notice here when I close down-and that's when I'll post any workshops entered here after this message. After that, please sign up for workshops on the boards in the screened room in the Dining Hall building at camp.
I will update schedules approximately noon and midnight daily while we're at camp.
See you there.
Dress warm! High temperatures will be in the mid-50s, and lows in the low 30s. No rain predicted.

Hi Joe - I had requested a double slot for the "Songwriter's Circle Works-in-Progress" in Yellow Room 22 on January 1 from 4 to 5:50. It seems to me that there are quite a few songwriters at camp. I wanted to ensure time to talk about the works in progress and support each other in our songwriting.

And pulled out a plum,
And said 'What a good boy am I!'

I have to give myself a little self-affirmation to do today's scheduling work. What I really want to do is take a nap before I head off to sing at Midnight Mass, and then go home and sleep a few short hours before heading back to sing at 7:30 AM.

Sounds like fun, Ed. It's on the schedule, as requested. We had a keg of beer and lessons on how to "pull" a pint at the ceilidh I went to in Scotland this summer. Will beer be provided? Can we steal from the cache for the John Barleycorn workshop?

Joe - I seem to have contributed to an abundance, not to say a superfluity of dangerous, wily, heroic, and otherwise obstreperous women in the titles of this year's workshops. May I alter my Thurs 4pm workshop to "trad songs of Bad Decisions"?   The idea would be to bring traditional songs in which the story hinges on someone knowing better but doing something dangerous/naive/foolhardy anyway. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not. This workshop is not limited to ballads. thank you! Casey Casebeer

I would also like to schedule 12:00 to 1:00 and 1:00 to 2:00 Friday in the Dance Hall for Swing Night pre-practice.
I would also like to pre-practice on Saturday in the Carpeted room 2:00 to 3:00 pm.
I know that will cover my schedule.

---

If you could combine Saturday performance practice to 4:00 to 6:00 and move Yael's to 3:00 it would be helpful. I know that I will probably be playing for Yael's workshop any how. Thanks for all that you do to make the Camp experience a fun, rich experience.

> Cris Johnson and I are organizing the Swing Dance, which is scheduled for Saturday Night, the last night of camp. We have a dozen singers lined up and have room for a few more. We are aiming to have most songs collated before Camp New Harmony. If you are interested in singing, we need to know your song choice and key. We are looking for danceable, up tempo swing songs. Please contact Cris Johnson, who will be the band leader. His email is (available thru Joe Offer, [e-mail])

There will be some optional rehearsal time with Cris if you need it, and later a mandatory run through with the band. More details to be posted at camp.If you have questions, concerns or solutions, contact me or Cris. Looking forward to some swingin' singin' playin' and dancing!

Hi Joe! Thanks for doing hthis complex job!
I think it's fine and good not to give all the same slots to one person. However I need to fine tune your shuffling of my workshops a bit, it I may.
(1) On Wednesday, I might not arrive until lunchtime. Perhaps Easy-to-Join songs could be in Carpeted Room at 2? (I would like to attend Train and River songs.)
(2) on Thursday, I really want to go to Madge's Balkan songs class, as I mentioned before I distracted you with other questions. Do you think Songs of Winter Celebrations should move to 5 PM?

Robert Rodriquez: Commercials, jingles, and TV/Radio theme songs (1940s to present) - Thursday afternoon. Note: Robert would like to have a cohost, if somebody would like to

---

I told Robert that we try to limit workshop titles to three or four words, so the title and location and leader will all fit on the little yellow sticky notes we use on the workshop boards. So, he called this morning and said the title of his second workshop is:

Don't Bet on the Prince: From Scheherazade to the Raging Grannies [Songs & Stories of Bold, Clever, & Resourceful Women]

I think I'll boil it down to just "Bold/Clever/Resourceful Women"

But it's good to give a more detailed description of the workshop here in this thread, knowing that it needs to be boiled down to three words, four at the max - and I'd rather have the workshop leaders do the boiling down, so I don't get blamed.

The idea workshop title is no more than 4 words, because it has to fit on the smallest size of Post-It notes. "Call-and-Response Songs" plus your name will work just fine.


The most popular venues for a cappella singing are Ruben's House and the Carpeted Room, The other venues are smaller, but may work very well for you.

In the past, we've had some very nice workshops for solstice and Christmas carols. Most of us don't take down the tree before we go to camp. We haven't had a carols workshop for a few years, so it's a good idea to do one.

I have a question for more seasoned Camp New Harmony people.
From here where I sit in mid-October, Camp seems like winter holiday time. I have some lovely Solstice songs, as well as some well-known Xmas carols whose words have been slightly adapted to make them Solstice songs.
In your experience, are people "done"' with Solstice/Xmas by the time Camp rolls around or have people enjoyed turn-of-year-song workshops?

Hi! I have not led a CNH workshop before so I don't know if there is a shortcut word meaning "each one bring one of the following type of song." Anyway, I envision a workshop in which each person brings a call-and-response type song (from any culture). The person who brings it calls, and everyone else responds.

I am not familiar enough with the sites to choose a room, nor do I much care, but I would not want to miss a concert or Shabbat or a Madge workshop to do this. Nor a meal! But otherwise, any time of any one day would be fine.

It is also fine to wait and schedule this one at almost the last minute. Thank you for organizing this!

Hello, I'd like to lead a workshop on Songs that sound traditional but aren't, and another on Irish Songs in Reubens... I don't much care when as long as it doesn't conflict too mightily with another Ballads/ trad workshop. Also, Yes M'am would like to do a mini-concert. on Friday or Saturday evening, in the Carpeted Room. Thank you,

Joe, it might be fun to have a workshop "Guess the Song from the Intro" In most cases the composers put as much effort into writing the intros as the did in the refrain. And nowadays the intros are rarely sung. Having received my copies of "Rise Again" I noticed that in most cases (not all) the intro is left out.

Fred

please do not put this opposite the rivers workshop above.

---

Joe Sez: How 'bout Carpeted Room, 11 AM, Wednseday?
We left most intros out of Rise Again unless they were commonly known and sung - too little space. Hal Leonard gave us 300 pages, and we hit that exactly.

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 every year during the week after Christmas at URJ Camp Newman, on the road between Calistoga and Santa Rosa, north of San Francisco. Some 300 people will be there for 6 days of song and dance and whatnot.
The Camp New Harmony Website is http://sffmc.org/harmony_body.html.

To get an idea what the camp is all about, see the threads for previous years, crosslinked above.

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. So, the idea is this: if you're attending camp and you'd like to lead a workshop, scroll down and post a message e at the end of this thread with the following information: Your name Name of the workshop Preferred time and day Preferred location I'll enter the information in the charts below. I can't guarantee time and location, but I'll do the best I can to balance things. -Joe Offer-
