LOOKING FOR A COUPLE VOLUNTEERS!!!!
1. Still looking for someone to take the lead on a Guitar Maintenance Workshop. We all have some tips and tricks for everything from changing strings to adjusting necks. We just need a "ring leader" to lead the conversation. I have strings, and tools and a neck support, tuners, etc.. Whomever steps up, make it as formal or informal as you like. You're volunteering, so it's your show, I'll try to get you whatever you need.

2. Song writing contest. The theme is.......
Childhood Memories:
Reminiscence, learning experience, fond memories, shadowy terrors.....whatever. Bring a finished or partial song. I'll go get back my copy of Sheila Davis' workbook and we can play and/or polish as the mood and interest allows.
