Hello again!

It may be a blessing to let the new rooms offgas for another year (in case they have new carpet or new paint.). I do look forward to peeking into them.

How about a one-hour Hanukah Party on either Friday or Saturday late afternoon to include the moment of sundown? I can host candle-lighting and dreidel games and lead some songs but I am not promising to make yummy treats for all. Folks of all religions and/or no religion welcome, whether or not laden with additional songs or foods to share.

I also wish to co-lead (with Wade Gray) a one-hour workshop called "How to play, AND sing, AND dance to, Alle Brider/Alle Shvester (We are all brothers/sisters.)". This is a lively and loving old song from the Yiddish labor movement.

And then if anyone shows interest on this list, and if there is space and time left after others have had a chance to sign up, maybe an hour of singing familiar Xmas carol tunes whose lyrics have been de-Christianized...    Thanks! I don't arrive until late Thursday.

---

Hi, Jennifer - I put you in for Alle Brider/Shvester on Saturday, 4 PM Carpeted Room, with Hanukah 4-5 in the same room. My usual limit is 2 sessions per person except for traditionally-scheduled session. I've stretched you to 3. Hope that works.
P.S. Sunset is at 5 PM sharp on Dec 31.

Robin! Robin!
What? What?
Robert Rodriquez had the first request, but I had to move it.
Songs and Stories:

• For the Birds: about Birds & Birdlore
• about Conflict
• about Occupation & Work
• about Music

On Friday: Soldier, Sailor, Tinker, Tailor - songs and stories of work and occupations -

Please don't conflict with John Barleycorn or Ballads.

---

For the Birds - Ruben's House, Saturday 5-6
Soldier, Sailor, Tinker, Tailor - Friday, Carpeted Room, 12-2
I'm supposed to hold people to 2 sessions, unless they are traditionally-scheduled sessions.

Hi Joe, posting this on behalf of Jim Tepperman:
He would like to do a Beatles sing-along circle. Voices and percussion only, no additional instruments. Concentration on singing harmonies. Need big space like carpeted room.

Do not want to conflict with John Barleycorn, musical theater, oldies sing-along (Ellen Eagan) or swing dance rehearsal.

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

Would it be appropriate for me to do a mini-concert there at Camp New Harmony as a California launch of my CD? If so, I'd love to do it. If not, that's fine, too.

Thanks for your consideration.

Workshop Venues

I had been delaying posting the schedule charts because I wasn't sure what venues were going to be used this year. The camp committee decided to use the same workshop spaces we used last year, so I will be posting the schedule grids in the next few days. Not now....I need a nap.
We have some new music spaces in the health lodge and in the offices off the dining hall, but the camp committee decided to keep those spaces open for unscheduled, informal music sessions. I disagree, but I wasn't at the meeting to express my disagreement.

So, here are the spaces we will be using (same as last year):

In the registration building (near camp entrance)

• Mirrored Room - back of the building, nice in the morning for yoga & exercise sessions, holds about 20 people
• Arts & Crafts - middle room in the building, reserved for kids' activities.
• Front Room - nice room in the front of the building, seats 15-20 people.

Ruben's House Bus Stop

• Ruben's House - comfortable living room with sofas and padded chairs, holds 20-25. Reserved for larger sessions.
• Study Center - this space is set up as a library, holds about 30 people, a very comfortable place. Carpeted Room - our largest venue, except for Cabin 6. Holds about 30 people Heat seems to be working quite well this year.
• Journalism Room - very small space behind the carpeted room. Can be cold and musty, but some people like it for small gatherings.
• Yellow Room 22 - very nice space with a pole or something in the middle that makes it tight for more than ten people. Great for small jams.

Dance Hall - open for dance-related activities all day long.

Cabin 6 - a bit removed from other venues, but it's an easy trip on the bus. Holds 40 people.

I would like to teach a spoons workshop. Anyone can play but (believe it or not), after learning the basics, you have to practice like any other instrument. Spoons provided for workshop participants. Please don't take spoons from the dining room.

I'd like to do a workshop on "Simple Blues Shuffles," meeting every day (not at 8 am, though!!). We will just shuffle in some basic keys for about an hour and then try to apply the bass lines to songs throughout the day.

A blues book will be used to guide us.

We welcome more advanced players to come jam with us during the last half-hours of the workshops, once we've warmed up a bit.

---

Hi, Elly - How about noon-1 daily in the front room? It's in between meals. -Joe-

---

12/22 - I've once again changed my mind. I think I want to skip holding the blues class because it looks like there are other things happening, I don't know whether the class will hold up, and I'm not feeling up to par right now. If you can just remove it from the schedule I would appreciate it.

From Cris Johnson:

Joe not sure which distant shore you are at or what mountain top you are viewing but when you return home I would like to see if I can schedule 8 hours in the dance hall for the Swing night. I am pushing for Friday because that is usually the traditional time and all my volunteers are available. Looking for times around lunch time, low attendance periods where people can get there lunches and be waiting for rehearsal. Trying to get SFFC to make a commitment so I can get started. Last year I had 21 singers and it was pretty intense. Plus I contacted singers, made key recommendations for singers and song selections and collated all the music.

We will arrive Friday 12/30 and Noah and I would be happy to host an "Andronico Oldtime Jam" that would run along the lines of our Odd Tuesday SF jams...inviting, friendly with old chestnuts mixed with a few lesser known tunes played at a nice loping pace.

A request I got by email:


I'm planning to be at Harmony Wed- Thurs. I'd like to give a mini-concert on Thursday - maybe 2-3 or 3-4 ( if my one-day admission allows me to stay that late - don't know who to check with) in Ruben's Room or some other nice warm room where singers like to congregate.

Hi, Holly - I put you on Thursday, 5-6 PM, Ruben's House. Hope that's OK. -Joe-

(22 Dec) Holly sez:

Hi Joe and Everyone!

“Christmas in the Trenches” is one of my all-time favorite songs. Unfortunately I won’t be able to stay for Robert’s workshop, as I’m only at camp Wednesday afternoon through my mini-concert, 5 pm Thursday.
My concert will concern how we make sense of what’s been going on, and will include my recent satirical songs as well as songs by Leonard Cohen, Richard Thompson, and Rhiannon Giddens.
See you all soon!

Harmonically,

Holly

Not to worry, Holly. Bev and Jerry agreed to do "Christmas in the Trenches." It should sound wonderful in their trademark close harmony. My wife and I tried to sing it, but we kept tearing up.

I've got several ideas for 'theme' songswaps: 'Songs of Rosalie Sorrels', 'Intimations of Mortality (But No Hymns or Morbid Songs!'), 'San Diego Boys: Songs of Jack Tempchin and Tom Waits', 'California Songs (But Please Not Hotel California!)'. I wouldn't expect to do all of them--I'm only going to be there through Saturday early afternoon, but wanted to toss them into the mix. Happy Travels! And thanks!

Kathrine- old-timey piano backup in the dance hall this year?

---

Hi, Everybody-
I'm watching these, but I won't post the schedule spreadsheets until I get back to civilization in early November. My Chromebook and hotel WiFi connections aren't reliable enough to do schedules.
I'm doing a bucket-list drive across the U.S. - probably a total of 10 weeks. I'm at 48 states on my lifetime list, and I expect to finish the list with Kansas and Oklahoma on this trip. I've also visited a number of lighthouses and national park facilities I hadn't seen before, and I went sailing on Chesapeake Bay.
So, doing the schedule spreadsheets for a camp run in late December, are not a priority for me now.
We have three nice new venues for camp this year - a large room in the health lodge, and two former offices in the dining hall.

And did I tell you about the new housing? It's all like the Field Cabins that we've had for the last 2 or 3 years.

See you soon at camp.

-Joe-

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-
