Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 21 Sep 00 - 01:42 PM which is a continuation of this thread : New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks
New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks.
Seeing if I can make a blue clicky. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 21 Sep 00 - 02:12 PM Woo-hoo! Blue clicky things abound. Missed ya'll last night! ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 21 Sep 00 - 02:21 PM Yes, but it isn't working right, and I don't know why.
Missed you, too, GC. Branwen got all the girly girl attnetion she usually has to share with the likes of you. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 21 Sep 00 - 02:31 PM 'Salright. I'm gettin' a bit long of tooth to get all the girly girl attention, anyhoo. She deserves it! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 21 Sep 00 - 03:43 PM corrected blicky to the old thread. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 21 Sep 00 - 03:50 PM Now this girly-girl thing sounds a bit sexist friends, how about personally-person? Or am I have I committed gender bender? regards Fortunato |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 21 Sep 00 - 03:55 PM Thanks Jed.
Fortunato, it is sexist. You'd think I could get as much attention as Branwen, since I'm the only one there in a skirt, but all the boys want to flirt with her. Mimosa |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 21 Sep 00 - 04:09 PM Mimosa - Your blue clicky wouldda worked, had you placed the actual URL inside the refernce command, rather then the thread name. You posted (I've used () inlieu of the larger then, smaller then symbols in my example). (a href="New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks")New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks(/a) If you had typed (a href="http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=23738&messages=145")New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks(/a) It wouldda worked! |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 21 Sep 00 - 06:33 PM Funny, I've never thought of myself as being particularly "girly"... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Mbo Date: 21 Sep 00 - 06:35 PM Yeah, but you're groovy! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 21 Sep 00 - 06:40 PM well, groovy is good... I'll take that But I've never been "oh-no-I-broke-a-nail!-girly" -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,Waylon Fan Date: 21 Sep 00 - 07:05 PM Well, last night was kinda frustrating. There were maybe 2 or 3 songs that I'd played before (mainly those that Branwen and I started out together - World Turned upside down, Spanish Ladies). But I had no problem following the guy across from me with the guitar and harmonica. It also seems like there are to many chiefs and not enough Indians. When it came time for a lead, everybody tried to play one - the harp guy, Mr. whistle, etc... Mr. whistle over there needs to get over himself. A little bit goes a long ways. After a while all those whistle tunes start to sound alike - kinda like blues harmonica. Anyways, the beer was good. Not sure if I will be back again. I did have a good time, even though the above doesn't give that impression. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,The new guy last night Date: 21 Sep 00 - 07:12 PM Hey all.. I had an absolute blast last night (even if i was probably being one of the above mentioned "chiefs"... hope I wasn't being a session hog!!) That was one of the friendliest sessions that I've been to in ages. You made the new guy feel welcome...shy retiring flower that i am... thanks again, and I'll be there next time with Bells on.. or at least a bodhran! Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 21 Sep 00 - 07:19 PM It was great to meet you, Jeff... And i disagree with the above post... I thought everything sounded great, and I had a great time Of course there will be times when two people start a bridge atthe same time, that's what happens in impromptu playing... I really dig your bodhran... I'd love to get one of those.. At any rate, I had a blast, and I hope you'll be back for the next session on Oct. 4th... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 21 Sep 00 - 07:25 PM *sigh* Sounds like I missed some serious fun. Waylon Fan....sometimes chiefs outnumber Indians. It's what makes a jam session a jam session as opposed to having a band. Just happens that way sometimes. I hope you do come back. I could stand to play fiddle on some Waylon songs, and do a little backing vocals...and I will sit in the corner and be a good little Indian. AND, we'll trade Waylon for "whaling.'

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 21 Sep 00 - 07:28 PM Branwen, here's the url for the Bodhran Maker: http://www.celticmusic.com/alfonso_bodhrans/ ... and I'll be there if I have to walk! (though I may actually try to warm up the voice a wee bit next time. It's right on today, but last night, weeeelll...) Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 21 Sep 00 - 07:33 PM thanks for the url, Jeff... Is your drum a 14" or 16"? Also, the site says the drums are available in different "tones"... is yours a specif model or tone? I really like what you had last night... did you get your tippers from this guy as well? -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 21 Sep 00 - 07:53 PM mine's a 16".. thanks for asking...(drum that is!) It's my understanding that he basically has one "model". When I chose mine, most of his drums seemed to be pitched a bit high for me, but I grew to like it. (also it's mellowed in the months that I've owned it.) The tone was a bit off last night as I let the skin dry out a bit. I need to care for it better. Albert sells most of his drums by mail/email. The advantage of living here in town, is that you will get some choice. He's only doing the red finish for now, but each drum is unique in look as well as sound. End of commercial. (Albert, if you see this, I want a commission from any resulting sales... or maybe a free lesson?!) Slan Go Fioll Jeff |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 21 Sep 00 - 10:54 PM Sound like I missed a time. Damn! We'll be abck, though! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 22 Sep 00 - 10:18 AM Branwen, when it's all guys there, any female is "girly", but you're pretty, and groovy, too.
It was nice having Waylon Fan & Jeff (nice of you to join the "cat - welcome) there. It really was different than it has been. I think every person who participates adds something different to the mix. I hope you'll be back to try it out again. Mimosa with the harp |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 26 Sep 00 - 06:09 PM anyone going to be there tomorrow? even though it's an off week, a few people made noise about showing up... |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 27 Sep 00 - 09:15 AM I wasn't planning on it. If we do show, don't we need to make arrangements with the owners or someone? Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 27 Sep 00 - 10:01 AM I can't make it - but I am planning on being there next week! RedCelt - if you're looking for a good session, ya gotta make the Sons of Hermann Hall jam on Thursday night. It's wide open, style wise, but they say "the only thing electric is the campfire'. It's gotta be the best one in Texas. There is normally two or even three rooms goin' and some great pickers, singers, songwriters. It's a really good bunch of folks. You might give it a shot, some Thursday (every Thursday, starting about 8). |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 27 Sep 00 - 11:53 AM Jed, I've been interested in that one since I heard you talk about it years ago at the quill sessions. I've kind of stayed away because it sounded waaaaay above my level, and I expected to be audience. I enjoy just sitting back and listening to a jam as much as anybody, but just playing audience hasn't been enough for me to clear the decks on a Thursday. Aaaaaanyway, I still want to make it if only to hear/see you and possibly young Jeff if he's around. Mimosa- good point on clearing it first. I hadn't thought that far, though Nick is one of the people who mentioned the off wednesday possibility to me. I was on such a "session-high" from my first session in months that I didn't pay attention, and don't exactly remember what he said. It probably would be a good idea to check. I think that I'll just drop in tonight with no expectations and see if anything starts (though my bodhran and song books just might sneak into the truck and come along for the ride) Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 02 Oct 00 - 12:08 PM We got home from the Amarillo festival at 4AM today, and I have Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun booked ... I hate to say it, but I may miss this week at YOBB. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 02 Oct 00 - 12:26 PM Ugh, me, too. I guess we'll make it back in a few wekks. Touring is Hell! (not) |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 02 Oct 00 - 12:28 PM That's "weeks." Still feels really early where I sit. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 02 Oct 00 - 12:42 PM ... feels bumpy where I sit, but then I never had too much padding on that end. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 02 Oct 00 - 01:27 PM ok... I seem to remember you guys promising to make it this week.... Oh, well, I suppose we can't blame you for being successful and in demand... you will be missed. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 02 Oct 00 - 02:51 PM Thanks. I am worn out today ... we'll see what Wed looks like. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 04 Oct 00 - 02:58 PM Yipppee... session night again at last. The song books are piled by the door and the faithful gas guzzler is pointed west in anticipation..... Slan Go Foill, Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 04 Oct 00 - 03:11 PM Sorry if this is an inappropriate interjection into this thread, but- where can I go in Dallas Sat. Oct 21-Tues Oct 24 for live folk/celtic/ type music? Or a good pub? Hoping to test drive Albert's bodhrans while I'm there. I'd love to check out the Wed. session, but that, alas, is not in the cards. I'll be in the market district, if that's any help. Thanks in advance. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 04 Oct 00 - 03:45 PM Bardford - on Oct 21 you can't go wrong by visiting YOBB in Fort Worth (the pub in this thread). We'll in Oklahmoa during that time. Try the Dubliner on GREENVILLE AVE in Dallas 214-818-0911, or the Emerald Mist in Dallas at 972-671-6478 or you might try Poor Davi'ds Pub in Dallas at 214-821-9891. There's sure to be good music at all of these clubs. Poor David's is one of the nation's oldest and bets folk music venues. It's a bit of a dive, but has a great sound system, books top notch acts and has some wonderful history! Best of luck!

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 04 Oct 00 - 04:42 PM Bardford, here's a site that can give you local venues and who's playing where. I'm woefully ignorant of html coding, so here's the link the hard way... www.scmatx.org/main.htm They'll have a link for venues Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 04 Oct 00 - 05:27 PM Hey! Anybody going tonight? Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Wesley S Date: 04 Oct 00 - 05:55 PM Bardford A band from Brittany called KORNOG will be in Bedford { between Ft Worth and Dallas } on Wednesday the 25th. I'll be there. As far as the Bull and Bush goes tonight , alas , I cannot make it. I have a meeting to go to and my Mrs will be arriving at the airport from out of town. I'll do my best to be there next time. I'll be thinking of y'all. "If I can't have a song on my lips then I'll have to settle for a song in my heart" |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 04 Oct 00 - 06:06 PM I'll be there, Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 04 Oct 00 - 06:53 PM I'm trying to sneak out of work now... see everyone there |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 04 Oct 00 - 10:24 PM All that fuss, and now it looks like I have to stay away. I hope y'all are having a good time. I'll try to get there next time. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 05 Oct 00 - 09:32 PM Missed you all, and I'm such a jam junkie, I kept looking at the clock and wondering, "So, I bet they've played 'Roddy McCorley' by now." And "I might have time to squeeze in a song or two if I leave NOW," at 10:00 PM. Once touring is over, I know I'll be heading west again! Keep a seat in the corner warm for me! (Well, on second thought....) ;-) |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Rich(bodhránai gan ciall) Date: 06 Oct 00 - 06:57 PM This is gonna sound dumb but does this thread refer to a real session or is it a virtual on a la Mudcat Tavern sorta thing? Either way, Branwen, I'd recommend the 14" Albert bodhrán. It takes a little getting used to at first, but once you do, you can do anything with it that you can with a 16" drum. What's more, it seems like the tone control is more dramatic. You have to move your left hand more to achieve the same amount of tone variation with a 16" bodhrán. Don't get me wrong, either size of Albert's bodhráns is a fine drum. The 14" is just a personal preference. of mine. I use a foot stool for my left foot. This raises up the playing surface, while still allowing me the smaller drum. Slán, Rich |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 10 Oct 00 - 12:21 AM Rich, It's a real pub in Ft. Worth, with a great friendly session. Amateur that I am, I'm well balanced by some good (and tolerant) musicians. I went with one of Alberts 16" drums to wean myself off of my 18" Paki learner model. I had thought that I had awfully big paws to be stuffing into a 14", but I completely agree on the sound. After listening to both, I can say that it's entirely a matter of personal preference. *Sigh* It's the off week for the every-other week session... rats! I've been living at work since last wednesday and could use a night of yeling my voice to shreds...(it's not much, but it's what I call singing...) I'll be looking forward to seeing all and inflicting my music again soon, Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 10 Oct 00 - 12:23 AM Hey.. does anyone know if Albert will be doing his famous Bodhran workshops at the Bedford festival this weekend? Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 10 Oct 00 - 06:07 PM don't know, Jeff... I was wondering is everyone is planning on showing up next week.... Seven Nations is playing at the Emerald Mist that night, and I wondered who was planning on skipping the music session to go see them instead.... I'll probably end up a loser in the pub by myself again.... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 10 Oct 00 - 08:14 PM I'd much rather make the jam. I'll be there! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 10 Oct 00 - 09:32 PM Me, too. I need some therapy! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Mbo Date: 10 Oct 00 - 09:37 PM Seven Nations!?! Dadgummit, I love it those guys! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 11 Oct 00 - 08:53 AM Session is better..... |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Wesley S Date: 11 Oct 00 - 09:05 AM I agree - I guess Branwen won't be the only "loser" there. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 11 Oct 00 - 09:11 AM now if it was Cuillin at the Mist I might have to reconsider! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 11 Oct 00 - 09:15 AM *LOL* I still say session is better. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 11 Oct 00 - 11:13 AM maybe Cuillin in session is best. They attended the session down at the Celtic Crossing Cafe in Shreveport LA when they were playing at the University there. Guess we need to organize a road trip next time! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Mbo Date: 11 Oct 00 - 12:38 PM MMm...maybe, but 7N is pretty darn rockin! I sang one of their song on my first tape, "No Reason." |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 11 Oct 00 - 03:18 PM well, I'm glad to know that our session will not be forsaken .... |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Mbo Date: 11 Oct 00 - 03:35 PM Ok, so maybe I would skip 7N to go hang with Bran! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 11 Oct 00 - 03:38 PM trust me Mbo - you would be MUCH happier. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Wesley S Date: 12 Oct 00 - 10:52 AM Good news - It looks like Chance/Forunato is going to be in town for our get-together on the first of November. Lets hope it happens. Mark your calender and start limbering up those fingers. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 12 Oct 00 - 01:15 PM groovy.... he's great fun... too bad everyone missed out the last time he was in town. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 12 Oct 00 - 03:01 PM Thank you Branwen, I had a wonderful time with you (and Wesley, too.) You're a lot of fun, as well. I'm looking forward to seeing you and sharing some songs. I'll be in touch as the time draws nearer. All the best my friends! Chance |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 12 Oct 00 - 04:05 PM Sorry - I'm booked eleshwhere nearby on the Nov 1 session, but it's an early gig (7 to 11). Maybe I can make it before y'all shut down YOBB. I hate to miss another. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 12 Oct 00 - 04:13 PM Sorry Jed, I won't be there after 11:00 I have an 8:00am event to attend on the 2nd. Branwen and Wesley and I will try not to have TOO MUCH FUN without you. regards, chance |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 12 Oct 00 - 07:13 PM well, bugger! if you keep missing sessions, Jed, We'll start to think you don't like us... *grin* -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:01 PM (It's not a session, but it is a local event)... just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the Bedford Celtic fest this weekend. If work doesn't kill me before then, I'll be out there. Jeff
|
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:04 PM Can I do a shameless plug? Eammon's Kitchen (mine and Jed's li'l ol' band) will be playing at 1:15 Saturday, and at noon Sunday. Woo-hoo! Look for us! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 13 Oct 00 - 12:51 PM Well, Fortunato, RedCelt and others who will be making the Nov 1 session, maybe y'all could come out to O'Dwyers for the first hour. I am there from 7 to 11. The YOBB session starts at 8 or so if that's not too early, you might be able to o both. O'Dwyers is a new pub in Ft Worth just off 360 by 6 Flags. I am playing their opening night. Just a thought. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 13 Oct 00 - 01:13 PM Jed my plane gets in at 6:oopm I don't think I can make o'dwyers, sorry. Have to catch you later. regards chance |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 18 Oct 00 - 11:57 AM Jed, Got any better directions to O'Dwyers? Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 18 Oct 00 - 12:58 PM Is anybody going tonight? I've had my car in the shop, and can't drive it over tonight, but would love to try to ride over with someone else from Dallas. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 18 Oct 00 - 01:26 PM I'll be going and would be glad to help out. I don't get off of work until 7:00 but I'm trying to sneak out early. I'm thinking of dropping by to see Jed at his gig for a bit. I usually leave the session very late, but have been under the weather lately, so will leave earlier than my norm... probably 10-ish, 11 at the latest. I'm fairly flexible in all the above, so let me know if this works for you. Jeff 214-334-6001 |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 18 Oct 00 - 01:30 PM I had an idea that Jed's gig was not for a couple more weeks. Jed, is it tonight? Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 18 Oct 00 - 02:17 PM mimosa, where are you in Dallas? I might be able to come get you. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 18 Oct 00 - 02:37 PM 2 blocks from the Wycliff exit off the tollway. I'm talking to David about maybe going tonight, so I'm not sure what I'm doing just yet. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 18 Oct 00 - 02:54 PM Jed's gig isn't 'til the first of November. Don't beat me, but I have to miss again tonight. We're playing at the Sons Of Hermann Hall tomorrow night, plus another festival this weekend...Blah, blah, blah. When this touring is over, we'll be back on schedule. BTW: Eammon's Kitchen (me, Jed,and Himself)will be playing at YOBB on Oct. 27th for a Halloween party, if anyone's interested. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 18 Oct 00 - 02:54 PM ok... I'm in arlington, but if you end up really needing a ride, let me know. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 18 Oct 00 - 04:07 PM first of november...middle of october.. so I'm a little fuzzy on the whole "time" thing. Guess I'd have been sitting in the parking lot for weeks wondering "When they gonna open this place?!?" Ah, well, that just means that I get more session tonight. Mimosa, I'm near 635/I35. If you need that ride, call me at 214-334-6001 by 6:30 or so
Slan, Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 19 Oct 00 - 10:52 AM Sorry I couldn't make it last night. How was it? Are we going to try for a group outing Nov 1? Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 19 Oct 00 - 11:16 AM Keep a light in the window, I'm still planning on being there! regards, chance. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 19 Oct 00 - 11:59 AM Jed and guinnesschik, you were missed last night... hope to see you back again soon. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 19 Oct 00 - 12:23 PM sorry to miss! It's a hard thing to juggle, playing as much as we do. We are at the Sons of Hermann tonight with Sara Hickamn and Brave New Combo. Should be a good show. We're up from 7 to 8. We WILL be back to YOBB soon, though. I am at O'Dwyer's on Nov 1, but finish there at 11, so I may be able to make it YOBB very late.
|
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 19 Oct 00 - 12:26 PM Would love to come and see you tonight, Jed, but I'm on a plane to New Orleans tomorrow, and haven't done any of the things I need to do before I go (e.g. packing, taking the dog to the boarder, arrange for a rental car, well, anything productive, really) and so will be frantically attempting to accomplish these things today and this evening. Hate to miss it, it's sure to be a great show as always! -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 19 Oct 00 - 12:56 PM Branwen, you are going to the hallowed land of BeauSoleil and crawfish etoufee. I wish I could go with you and we would dance the two-step and drink red wine and, oh my I'm overcome... (have a great time!) regards, Chance
|
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:01 PM Thanks, Fortunato. I'm pretty psyched. I'm going for a music festival. Among numerous other bands, I'll get to see Little Feat and Kansas... guaranteed not to disappoint. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:53 PM Hey all... it was the usual blast at session last night. thanks for a dependably great time! Branwen, Sent you a PM to look over when you have a moment. Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 19 Oct 00 - 03:24 PM Well, ya'll were missed, too. We worked and drank mass amounts of coffee. Branwen, have a wonderful SAFE time in N'Awlins. I'm so envious! See ya'll soon! |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 27 Oct 00 - 09:52 AM This Wed ... Nov 1 is the next session. I'll be working nearby at a new pub called O'Dwyers (out near 6 Flags) but will finish at 11. If I can get packed up quickly, I should be able to make it to YOBB by midnight ... will anyone still be there? |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 27 Oct 00 - 01:32 PM Branwen, Wesley, Jed, Guiness chic and all BAD NEWS! My trip to Dallas has been delayed, the robot (Warning! Warning!)is dicombobulated and otherwise bamboozled and is not coming up to scratch. Therefore and Whereas my scheduled observation must be delayed I can't come to Dallas to your session. This is a major bummer. But another time again my good friends. My best to all. regards, Chance |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,guinnesschik(wheresmycookie) Date: 27 Oct 00 - 01:43 PM Um...me, Jed and himself are performing there tonight! Come out and see us. Will work for beer. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 27 Oct 00 - 01:49 PM Oh, yeah! Tonight - ready for Halloween. Please come on out!! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Wesley S Date: 27 Oct 00 - 05:38 PM Too bad Chance - we hope to see you sometime soon - guitar in hand. And maybe something cold and wet in the other { preferably something you can drink }. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 28 Oct 00 - 08:28 AM You mean a Bass Ale, not a bass, I presume, Mr. Wesley. Now mermaids, on the other hand... |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 28 Oct 00 - 01:22 PM There's some great bass fishin' not too far outta Dallas/Ft Worth ... but maybe that's another trip! I look forward to ya makin' out our way again, Chance - and hope our schedules connect a bit better! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 01 Nov 00 - 01:58 PM Who's going to be where tonight? Are folks going to O'Dwyer's to see Jed before going on over to YOBB? I've missed you all terribly, and am hoping to see some of you tonight. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 01 Nov 00 - 02:47 PM My excuses are starting to sound lame even to me these days. I can't make either one tonight. I really miss everyone, too. Hopefully, I'll get things straightened out enough to make it back over there. Hope to see ya'll soon. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 01 Nov 00 - 03:25 PM If ya come over to O'Dwyers ... it is on Trinity just off of 360. Coming from the Dallas side from 183 headed west, take 360. First exit is Trinity. Turn right on Trinity and travel 1/2 to 1 mile. O'Dwyers is a free standing building on your left. I'll start at 7 and would love to have friendly faces in the place ... but hate to pull ya away from the session. Still, if ya feel like doin' both, please come on by for a set or so. I will finish at 11, by the time I pack and get out of there, I am sure it'll be too late to try and make it to YOBB. I hope to see ya there, but look forward to seeing you at the NEXT session, if not tonight. |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Fortunato Date: 01 Nov 00 - 03:50 PM Have fun tonight Branwen, Wesley, Mimosa et al, lay 'em in the aisles, Jed.

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 06 Nov 00 - 07:05 PM Jed... Thanks again for letting me sit in. I was supposed to email you for something, but I'll be hanged if I can remember what. If I remember, I'll drop you a line when I get back. I'm off for a weeks vacation in KC MO. Anybody know a good dependable celtic venue there? I've called 4 and gotten everything from rock to blues, but no celtic. Jeff |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 06 Nov 00 - 08:13 PM I forget too, Jeff. Have a great visit in KC. There's lots of great neighborhood pubs in K-City, but you might check out: O'Dowd's Little Dublin 4742 PENNSYLVANIA AVE KANSAS CITY MO 64112 Phone: 816.561.2700 |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 13 Nov 00 - 10:12 AM Warning commercial advert follows: OK - I know it's a session week, but I have scheduled a show at Poor David's Pub in Dallas. I will be doing the first long set solo and with my friend Cliff Hale, bluegrass picker extraordinaire(sorry for the spelling). The second long set will be a song swap with my good friends Michael Harrison (Celtic/Folk performer) and Karen Riccarde with Eammons Kitchen backing us up. We've put a bit of work into this show, with new tunes and arrangements, but - lest you think we're cheating too much, I promise you most of the evening will be our usual "seat of the pants" performance! Please think about coming over to Dallas for the show. I know it's a weeknight, I know it's a hastle driving, parking, etc ... but I promise you we'll make it worth your while! The show starts at 9PM and goes 'til we stop (close to midnight). Poor David's is at Please come out to see us, if you can. We'll have a great time, and we'll be back to YOBB session next time around.

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 15 Nov 00 - 11:38 AM Refresh - just in case anyone can make it! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 15 Nov 00 - 02:53 PM Sorry, Jed... I'm a bit under the weather and Poor David's is a little too far, and a bit too much hassle for me tonight... I might try and make it out to YOBB for a bit, since it's pretty close to home, but I won't be in very good voice, and probably won't stay very late. I know you guys will have a great show... sorry I can't make it. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 15 Nov 00 - 04:01 PM I think I'll get to Poor Davids. Branwen, Say hi to the YOBB folks for me. Sorry I can't do both. I plan to see you tonight, Jed. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 15 Nov 00 - 04:06 PM Hmmm.. either listen to myself, or go and listen to some people who can actually sing... tough choice! Might actually try to do both. So what if they're on opposite sides of the metroplex! J. |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 28 Nov 00 - 08:09 PM The night before session, and all through the thread, not a person was posting excpet for the Red.. (Celt that is!) Did our thread die? Ah, well, I hope to make it to session this week. Last week I didn't leave work until after midnight (RatsaFrackinServerCrashes), so I missed the Poor D's gig. How'd it go? YOBB tomorrow.. see everyone there who's gonna be there! Jeff. |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 28 Nov 00 - 10:02 PM Sorry to interrupt Session talk, but this is the thread where I'm most likely to find the answer to my burning question: Anybody know the name of this year's host hotel for the NTIF 2001? Their website just keeps telling me that negotiations will be completed shortly. Some of us, from WAY out of town, have to make plans in advance, so it sure would be nice to know. Hi, Jed. Really enjoyed you guys at the Amarillo fest. Regards to the entire Kitchen from Fluffy. Sarah |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 29 Nov 00 - 12:59 PM I got to Poor David's about 10:00, enjoyed the show with Eammons Kitchen. Enjoyed the show, and had way too much room to move around. Mike, the whistle player was there, he said something about trying to put together a Sunday afternoon session mid-cities.
I have a Dress Rehearsal for the opera tonight, won't be able to get to session for a while, like February. Gotta do the job. If we're going to keep this thread up, it's about time for a new one. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Jed at Work Date: 29 Nov 00 - 01:15 PM I hate to miss again, but once again, this is my only night off this week. I need to stay home. Thanks to Mike and Mimosa for coming out to Poor David's Pub. We really really appreciate your making the show! EK is playing at YOBB this Friday night. Please come on out, if ya can! It's Karen's B-day, and we wish to thoroughly embarass her with our celebrations! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 29 Nov 00 - 04:38 PM Me, embarassed? Impossible! |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 29 Nov 00 - 06:02 PM Well, I guess I should have guessed the secret identity of one "guinnesschik" immediately...Wish I could come down for the party, but it's still a bit far for an evening's drive. However, I promise to hoist at least one Guinness on Friday night to honor the occassion up here at one end of the state. Happy birthday, Karen. Sarah |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 29 Nov 00 - 06:23 PM Guest Sarah, The NTIF hotel is ramada Plaza again. Their number is 214-421-1083. You'll need to speak to their reservations or sales people (not the front desk) to get the festival rate. Please make sure that you tell them that you're with NTIF. Last year, I understand that not enough people did so to meet the hotel contract. Thanks, Jeff Gard Assistant Coordinator for Stages. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: guinnesschik Date: 29 Nov 00 - 07:21 PM Sarah! Thanks fer the greetings, and I'll sure 'n' be liftin' one or two m'self. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 29 Nov 00 - 07:28 PM Thanks Jeff! Yeah, that's why I try to stay at the host hotel -- so the festival can get those free rooms. Well, it sure isn't to get extra sleep! Am trying to get a contingent together this year. Gawd, watch out -- Amarilloans in the big city! (I usually pretend I don't really know most of them...that way I'm still on the loose when it comes time to find bail money.) Sarah |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 02 Dec 00 - 02:50 PM Karen, Jed... I feel horrible. I completely forgot that you guys were going to be at YOBB last night... I had planned to be there, but it totally slipped my mind and I spent last night sitting on the couch watching TV and letting my ass spread. Spending the evening celebrating with all of you would have been much more worthwhile. Please accept my humble apologies. -Branwen- |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 09 Jan 01 - 02:22 PM Refresh - Has the thread withered away? |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 09 Jan 01 - 03:28 PM I've kept it on my tracer, but since the Opera company has enstaved me for the rest of the winter, I haven't had much to say. a friend asked me about where to hear non-classical 19th century music around Dallas. Jed? Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 10 Jan 01 - 10:45 AM I'd love to make it tonight ... we have a rehearsal scheduled, and a busy schedule otherwise so I am not if I can make it - BUT, I know y'all go 'til late, and I may be able to get there for the end - so if we finish rehearsal early enough I 'll come by - or Maybe I can talk Karen and the others into jammin' 'stead o' rehearsing! Mimosa - I sent you some thoughts on other session in town to consider - I am sure there are folks around who know of others. I'm not up on all the sessions in town. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Branwen23 Date: 10 Jan 01 - 05:49 PM Just a heads up, guys... It has been mentioned that we might have a bigger turnout at the session if it were held on Thursday rather than Wednesday... Apparently there are quite a few people who play in local bands who would probably come, but can't because their bands practice on Wednesday. I talked to Nick yesterday about changing the session day to Thursday, and he's going to check the numbers and let me know. It may turn out that Thursday won't be a good day for Nick... Apparently it tends to be a rather busy day at the pub... But we'll see. Just wanted to post it so that anyone who's interested knows what's going on. For now, of course, we'll continue to meet on Wednesdays. -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 10 Jan 01 - 06:00 PM I'm not sure Thurs's any better for me. I am frequently booked on Thurs, which is why I often save Wed for rehearsals ... 'sides, on Thurs YOBB would be competing with Dallas best jam (at Sons of Hermann). ;-) I hope to make it late tonight. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Wesley S Date: 11 Jan 01 - 11:44 AM I've got band rehearsal on Thursday nights myself. I do hope to make it back someday but my priorities have changed just a bit. Babies have that effect y'know. |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 11 Jan 01 - 11:52 AM Damn good session last night, y'all! Nice to see ya there Red and Branwen. I'm glad I dragged Karen out after rehearsal (so to keep ya out so late, Karen - I expect himself was thrilled with ya when ya finally got it). It was also good to play with Blarney Steve. I always enjoy his passion for playing! Mimosa - you were missed! I hope to make a few more sessions in the not too distant future. By the way (shameless plug); Eammons Kitchen will be at the Mist this Sat night from 8 to 12. We'd love to see any/all of y'all there! |

Harpists want to know. Mimosa |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 06 Jun 01 - 08:40 PM It is going every week, Matt. I will not make it tonight. I do, from time-to-time though. See you there, soon! |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: RedCelt Date: 07 Jun 01 - 11:14 AM Hey Gang~ It's at least trying to go every week. I think we're fighting the season of "other things to do". Attendance has been a wee bit sparse of late, and there has been talk of taking it back to an every other week thing. I hope it's just warm weather and daylight all evening long pulling people away. Steve, Branwen and I were talking last night about how we might spread the word a bit, and hopefully get some new blood. Anyone got any ideas? For anyone new to the thread, we're talking about a Wednesday night session in Ft. Worth at a cozy local pub, Ye Olde Bull and Bush. The pub is at 2300 Montgomery street. Call them at 817-731-9206 for directions. The session starts about 7-ish (7:00 musician time means sometime before 8:00), and usually lasts until midnight or so. We run the spectrum of talent from professional and talented amateur all the way down to me, the rhythym-impaired Bodhran abuser. The Craic is grand, the beer is cold, and the music is abso-bloody-lutely terrif! Slan Go Foill, Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: MMario Date: 07 Jun 01 - 11:24 AM well - I heard lots of good things about this pub - but it's a bit of a long commute for me... but I *do* intend to see it the next time I'm in the area. |

Subject: RENEW: Ancient thread revival! From: GUEST,RedCelt (guess I shouldn'tve tossed ALL my c Date: 01 Apr 02 - 03:57 PM Thread Renewal... The session is alive an well. If anyone is in the Ft.Worth area of a Wednesday... c'mon by! Things have been getting under way about 8-ish (musician time, that is.. could be a wee bit later, say 9-ish) and lasting past midnight. We welcome everybody. We've had some great walk-ins.... even a couple of wandering saxaphones... who actually played Irish! Regards, Jeff the Red |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: Wesley S Date: 01 Apr 02 - 04:37 PM Jeff - my mandolins and I hope to make it back there one of these nights - but with a one year old son and other duties it may take a while. How about a report next Thursday morning for those of us who can't make it ? Have a great time. |

Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: nosluap57 Date: 01 Apr 02 - 10:20 PM Do any of you DFW catters know of any song circles that are going on? I'd love to get involved with one... |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: JedMarum Date: 02 Apr 02 - 09:14 AM nosluap57 - well you might find this Fort Worth session, while a bit of a drive - is well worth while. Great folks, nice pub, good music, lotsa fun! I participated quite a bit when I was not working so much - even though the drive was close to an hour each way. BUT - there is a great session at the Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas every Thursday night beginning about 7:30 - but really getting going by 9. The session burns all night! Or I should say sessions. They typically have two or even three rooms going. The predominant music style is Texas acoustic - but absolutley anything goes. There will be lots of guitars, a few mandos, a fiddle or two - then maybe a banjo, an acoustic bass, a harmonica, and you can count on all of 'em playin at once! BUT it's fun. It's a good group of people and they have a great time. There are a capella singers almost every week. You might wanna check it out - even if you just listen in the first week.. |
|
Subject: RE: Dallas/Ft Worth Session II From: GUEST,anon Date: 05 May 02 - 11:45 PM Does that Brawnwen girl still show up? I used to go all the time, but she pissed me off so I stopped coming out. If she's there, no way in hell I'll show up again. She turned out to be a real bitch. |
