Fri. 7/3: A Folk Project Special Concert—Calan ($12 in advance or $15 at door)

Calan brings together the remarkable talents of five incredible young musicians, giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary and lively approach, they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies, rhythmic tunes, and spirited, energetic per-formances of Welsh step-dancing. With their unique instrumental blend of accordion, fiddle, guitar, Welsh pipes, Welsh harp, and the percussive sound of Welsh clogs, Calan has certainly found its musical niche and continues to delight audiences far and wide! Tickets are $12 in advance at the FP website or any Friday night at The Minstrel, $15 at the door.

Fri. 7/10: Open StageThis is an opportunity for all acoustic musicians to perform a 15-minute set on our stage, and for the audience to be treated to a diverse collection of acoustic musicians. We’ve often seen previews of our regular scheduled acts for the first time at Open Stage. For information on how to secure a performance slot, call 973/335-9489, or visit the Open Stage page.

Fri. 7/17: Huxtable, Christensen & Hood with Gordon WardHuxtable, Christensen, & Hood (Terri, Carol & Liz, respectively) might be considered the Red Molly of the 80’s. This powerful female harmony trio pretty much tore up the folk world in their day, singing traditional and contemporary songs, plus a few great originals, and a little doo-wop thrown in for good measure. Life and family took them in separate directions, but they’ve re-formed for a revival tour.

Gordon Ward is an author as well as a singer-songwriter. Thus, in his music, he is a storyteller, and many of his songs are musical portraits of people, places, and events that make them come alive and touch the hearts of his listeners. He finds inspiration from history, life experiences, observation of the world around him, and the research he’s done for his books.

Fri. 7/24: The Minstrel’s 40th Birthday Show ($10 admission includes refreshments & birthday cake)

Forty years of presenting a concert a week year-round. That’s a remarkable achievement rarely matched in folk music. And we will celebrate it, as has been our custom, with the music of our own members. About 3 weeks prior, we mixed and matched about 40 of our member-musicians into randomly assembled duos and trios. We’ve all had the intervening time to work up one song per group. And that’s the show. Come celebrate this event with us.

Sat. 7/25: SOLD OUT! A Concert to Celebrate the Minstrel’s 40th AnniversaryFeaturing Tom Paxton

NOTE: this concert will be held at a special larger venue, The Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township, 240 Southern Boulevard, Chatham, NJ. Also note the early 7:30 show time for this show only.

Fri. 7/31: Silk City with Rick Ilowite (Rescheduled from snowed-out date in March)

Silk City is the high-powered combination of three of the most accomplished musicians in the East. Danny Weiss’ blazing guitar and soaring tenor voice have led bluegrass-oriented bands from Bottle Hill to Skyline. Barry Mitterhoff is currently also playing his mandolin on tour with Hot Tuna. And Larry Cohen’s bass playing is sought after by musicians and recording studios around the country.

Rick Ilowite is a fingerstyle blues guitarist who has been called “traditional without puritanical blinders.” He’s at home with the Piedmont style of his mentor Jorma Kaukonen (of Jefferson Airplane). But, like Jorma, he can strap on a Strat and wail as well. Rick is a past president of the Folk Project.

for the Fall Acoustic Getaway, October 9–11, 2015

Zebra MusselsI’m writing this from up in Ontario, Canada, enjoying a week of kayaking on Lake Erie. I grew up on this lake, and its waters loom large in my emotional landscape. In recent years, there’s been great talk of the Zebra Mussel invasion—those tiny little striped snails that snuck into the lake

via freighters from Southern Russia, and were first seen as a siren song of doom. But, as the Zebra Mussels settled in,

something unexpected and magical happened—the waters of Lake Erie clarified! My Father, like me born and raised along

these shores, said that in all his 80 years he’d never seen the water so clear, so clean. Suddenly, we could see down 40 feet and more, viewing shipwrecks that had never been visible before. We felt blessed—we rushed to embrace our Zebra Mussels—our lake was renewed!

Then, the unexpected consequences slowly became apparent. It turns out the entire lake ecology was based on the exact level of water cloudiness that the zebra mussels had just altered. No one, at the time, seemed to consider that this particular aspect of the water—its relative cloudiness—could be a critical element in Lake Erie’s ecological balance. But in hindsight, it’s almost comical how naive and uninformed our assumptions were. We automatically equated “cleaner” water with “better” water. We embraced the invasive species that would bring our Lake to the edge of disaster. It was a shock to have to reorient our thinking, and realize that our simplistic assumptions—cloudy meant bad, and clear meant better—were just that; simplistic, uninformed, even dangerous assumptions.

During this past week, paddling daily on these waters has given me time to reflect on Zebra Mussels, simplistic assumptions, and unintended consequences. For the last six months as your President, I’ve applied myself to learning how to steer the Good Ship Folk Project through its own sometimes murky waters. When I first took this job, I was revved! Change was going to be my middle name! I showed up at the door full of my own assumptions of what equaled good, and what equaled bad. What was cloudy, and what needed to be clarified. What should be strengthened within the orga-nization, what should be torn down and rebuilt. Full of opinions, full of assumptions—full of vim and vigor. But during this past week, I’ve been hearing a new voice, as Lake Erie gently remonstrates with me, saying “Barrett—it’s important to be considerate and thoughtful in your assumptions and actions, not impetuous and simplistic. My waters are living proof of this. Could you —please slow down, in all aspects of your life, and consider more deeply your activities, and where they might lead? Thank you….” Just as the Hobbit legend taught us that “Not all who wander are lost,” so too might Lake Erie be telling us that not all who pause to reflect, not all who slow down, consider, and take deep counsel, are lost or indecisive. In some cases, slow, thoughtful, cautious change may actually be the best way of moving forward, as frustrating as that snail's pace may initially seem.

With the Zebra Mussel debacle as a palpable reference point, I’m coming to see our organization from a different perspective. The Folk Project, with its forty years of accumulated culture and tradition, may not really require an extreme makeover! Before effecting any drastic changes, perhaps a nice gentle paddle through these waters, with thoughtful eyes and an active appreciation of complexity and cloudiness, may be the first order of business, and in some ways, the better part of leadership.

—Barrett Wilson, President, The Folk Project

This is a place to share news about memorable events and challenges you have faced in the past month with your Folk Project Community�

Please send items to Joanne Cronin, joannelcronin@optonline�net

Elizabeth Lachowicz went to Puget Sound for her niece's graduation and got to see Rick and Cathy Thomas who miss us terribly, and who extend a warm welcome to anyone who cares to visit them in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. They have water and wildlife visible from their win-dows, and they have settled well into their community. Elizabeth had a delightful visit, including with Rick's mother, a great storyteller who is still sharp at over 95. Rick is coming east for the Tom Paxton concert, so we look forward to that. Elizabeth also reports that the professional services group she has been working with has asked her to consider becoming the assistant director to their training committee, Pro Bono, but still an honor; she is considering it.

Grover Kemble reports on the sad demolition of his former workplace, the main hospital at Greystone Park. The building was built in 1870 and the state refused all efforts to preserve it. Grover wrote a song about it that is up on YouTube.

Lori Falco chimed in on the Greystone demolition—if you want to go, go soon.

Mike Agranoff reports that Jean Ritchie has passed on. She was in her nineties.

Mark Schaffer reports that his stepdaughters are godchildren of the late B.B. King, and his oldest stepdaughter and her aunt attended the family funeral, where lots of great stories were told about

"Uncle" B.B. and her grandfather, his manager.

Sara Steele reports that Maria Manna has passed on. Maria was a first rate singer and harmonizer. She was a member of the Folk Project and sang with the Stardust Big Band, Olympia's Daughters Chorus, Morristown Unitarian Fellowship Chorus, Italian Chorus, Variations Quartet, Hotter Than Ice Band. She was also a member of the Toastmasters Club. She worked at Picatinny Arsenal.

Pat Brangs reports that her mother passed away on June 18th..

4th of July PartySat. 7/4, 2pm • the Roffmans’

11 Butternut Road, Randolph, NJ • 973/997-1162

Please join your fellow Projectiles (rain or shine) at the Roffman house for an afternoon of music, grilling and chilling. This is when we will draw names for pairing up performers to take part in the Birthday Show at the Ministrel on July 24th. The Folk Project will supply grillables (burgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, etc.); you bring side dishes, salads, beverages, desserts, etc. Please bring your own serving utensils. The Roffmans have a great in-ground pool, so bring your swimsuit and towels and amaze all your friends with your best backstroke.

Directions: From I287 Southbound: exit 36, Ridgedale Ave. Keep right at fork, follow signs for and turn right at Ridgedale Ave., go 0.7 mi. Follow directions from Ridgedale-Hanover intersection below >From 287 Northbound: exit 36B, W Lafayette Ave. Right at light onto Ridgedale Ave., go 0.9 mi. >From Ridgedale-Hanover Intersection: Left onto E Hanover (westbound), go 4.6 mi. Turn right at Black Birch Dr. (just past traffic light at Shongum Rd.), go 0.8 mi. > Turn right at Butternut Rd., second driveway on the right.

Join the Minstrel's 40th Birthday Show!For most of its existence, the Minstrel has celebrated its birthday with a unique concert featuring the Folk Project's member musicians. In June, I sent out an e-mail invitation with all the details to all performing members I was aware of. But there may be some of you whom I missed. If I missed you, please accept my apologies and this invitation.

Here's the plan: we assemble duos and trios of our member musicians chosen at random from amongst all who want to be in the show. This "choosing up sides" happens at our July 4th picnic (see below) at 4pm. You don't have to be at the picnic to be part of the show, but it's very helpful. You may add additional FP members of your choice to your randomly selected group. You then have the next 3 weeks to work up one musical number to be performed at the show, which will be on Friday, July 24. (Note: The Birthday Show is a regular Friday show at the Minstrel, and not to be confused with the 40th Anniversary Concert with Tom Paxton the following night in Chatham.)

If you missed or misplaced the detailed invitation I sent out in June, please contact me at Minstrel@FolkProject.org or 973/335-9489. I will reply with all the particulars and answer any spe-cific questions you may have. We want to feature as many of our member musicians and singers of all levels as we can. I hope you can join us.

—Mike Agranoff, Minstrel Program Chairman

New Minstrel BannerBack in January we had a minor tragedy at the Minstrel. We lost our old "Minstrel Coffeehouse" banner that used to grace the back wall of our stage. It was a batik creation with a cat-tail motif created by Faith Kindness that we'd had since our tenure at the Somerset County Environmental

Center in the late 90's. Due to a miscommunication between the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship and their own custo-dial staff, the banner was inadvertently discarded as part of a general clean-up campaign.

When they found out about it, the MUF administration was mortified, and extremely apologetic. We independently gave it some thought, and independently came up with the same solution: that MUF would find someone among their mem-bership with the appropriate needlework skills to make a new banner for us. We set to work, asking Deborah Graham to create a design, which would be rendered by a crafter

from MUF. That crafter was Beth Wilson, and her creation was publicly displayed first at our Spring Getaway, and then to a capacity crowd at the Minstrel at the May 29 show with Brother Sun.

The final product is spectacular. The design is classy and beautiful, and the execution is breathtaking. The photos do not do it justice. This is an artifact. A museum piece. Even the backing (not shown) is gorgeous. Our profuse thanks to Beth and Deborah, and especially to the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship who more than made good on an unfortunate mistake.

¤ Motion by Ed Roffman for Deborah Graham to assume Membership Co Chair

ADMINISTRATIONPRESIDENT'S REPORT: Barrett not present. http://bit.ly/1fff6O7

SECRETARY: The April 2015 minutes were accepted. Motion by Elizabeth to accept; seconded and passed unanimously.

TREASURER’S REPORT: Chris reports that Folk Project finances are moving in the right direction. http://bit.ly/1LeHVEs

OLD BUSINESSMark Schaffer introduced Stephanie Macias to the Board. She has experience in applying for grants, and will be assisting us going forward. Mark & Stephanie attended a Morris Arts workshop and will be applying for grants from them. Stephanie addressed the Board and has been instrumental in securing millions of dollars in grants. Other areas may be explored; even possible funds to supplement NERFA attendees.

Mike Del Vecchio proposed the purchase of sound equipment. In concert with discussions heard over the last few months, Mike D. made a motion as follows: The Board will authorize the expenditure of $2,600 for sound equipment as per the proposal circulated to the board. Yeas 17, 1 Abstention (Mike Del Vecchio)

George Otto passed out a report on Social Media for consideration by any Board members who wish to par-ticipate in this matter. Discussion should be next month, including how many social media channels should we have, and which.

Bob McNally reported on his research regarding Trademarking, and how it might relate to Folk Project properties. Mike Agranoff made a motion that we authorize Bob McNally to proceed towards investigating registration of The Folk Project as a trademark, and authorize $300 or so towards that end. Bob will report back to the Board in July. The motion was seconded, voted upon, and passed unanimously. http://bit.ly/1LdHEou

NEW BUSINESSAndrew Hines suggested that perhaps there should be commemorative Tee Shirts sold for the 40th Anniversary concert to be held at the Sanctuary featuring Tom Paxton. There was discussion, and a sketch passed around. Andrew made a motion to design and produce a short-sleeve tee shirt principally associated with the Minstrel’s 40th Anniversary. Voted 15 Yea, 3 nay and 1 abstention.

Eddie Roffman reports that Carl Croce has decided to step down from the Membership Committee. Eddie made a motion that Deborah Graham take Carl’s place and be able to fill in when Eddie is not there due to having moved 50 miles away. A vote was taken as to whether Deborah Graham would become Carl’s replacement as co-chair of the membership committee. 13 yea, 5 opposed, 1 abstention.

Chris Riemer reported regarding the legality of email voting. “Jay’s opinion is that we cannot just interpret our bylaws, but that we would need to amend them.” Chris’ opinion is that we should not amend our bylaws.

COMMITTEE REPORTSPUBLICITY: Paul received a request from Morris Arts for Hi Resolution photos of Folk Project events for Morris Arts use in new website. http://bit.ly/1MZSaxA

SOUND REINFORCEMENT: Nothing to add to report. http://bit.ly/1fffvQz

GETAWAY: Mark Schaffer announced that he is quitting the Getaway and other managerial posi-tions he is currently handling, mostly due to controversies seemingly directed at him personally. Citing topics such as not caring about the poor, paying small stipends to musicians when making $1,000 (Valentine’s Day Show), and other negatives…he decided that the personal attacks on his judgments and character were too much. He indicated that the Getaway is well organized and will function well without him. Mark also was upset about proposals regarding upcoming G&A (General and Administrative) charges, charges that had never imposed since their inception over 30 years ago. He will run the Fall Getaway and train anyone taking over. Elizabeth Lachowicz stated that she is deeply saddened and was hurt by these attacks on Mark during the time when she was President. Bob McNally responded in support of Mark and reported observing the vituperative attacks. “We” (The Folk Project) have interacted with a couple in a way that has made it deeply uncomfortable for them to continue, and I think we should own this. Joanne Cronin stated that we tend to have a history of “eating the Festival Chair alive” and we need to reflect on this. Scooter offered that “this has been remarkable and disturbing to him to see what has happened. Even more fascinating is that Mark’s events are so impressive and so profitable against the backdrop of much critique.“ Scooter says, “I only lost money and still receive only support and encouragement.” Lois DeRitter mentioned that emails sometimes hurt feelings and create conflict. Many more sentiments were expressed as well. http://bit.ly/1G0yHYIMotion to adjourn was seconded. Meeting adjourned at 10:30pm. Good of the Order followed.

Next Meeting is at the home of Mark & Robin Schaffer at 196 Mt. Pleasant Ave Rockaway, NJ.

Sat. Jul. 4: JOE DEPAOLO & DANCE THERAPYJody Kruskal: concertinas • Marnen Laibow-Koser: piano • Bill Christophersen: fiddle —ContrasIf your life has become banal retentive, let Dr. DePaolo shrink your problems as he fulfills your Pleasure Principle with Dance Therapy. The band's multiple personalities will satisfy your aural fixation, but they may leave you with pianist envy. Wear your Freudian slip for a session of cathartic contras from the collec-tive unconsciousness. Fun for Jung and old, Oedipus and Electra will dance to the complex rhythms. We wouldn't Id you, Joe will supersize your Ego with a libidosido. If it's not sublime, it's sublimation.

Sat. Jul. 18: RON BLECHNER & UNBOWEDHenry Koretzky: mandolin • Jamie O’Brien: guitar —ContrasNot one to keep things under wraps, Blechner takes the bow off his gift of contras to bow down to. Even with strings attached the band is Unbowed in its determination to take a shot across the bow of boring tunes. As the band and callers take a bow you’ll be bowlegged after your wild ride. You’ll be sorry if you bow out so grab your bow tie and make your bow.
