The Valentines Day ExtravaganzaThe Minstrel’s Valentines show may be our biggest party of the year, but there are plenty more rea-sons to join us. Special guest and nationally renowned instrumentalist Andy Goessling of Railroad Earth and The Blue Sparks from Hell will boost our usual cadre of Project professional backup bands: The Loving Hearts Club Boogie Band, and the Valentines Day Jazz Combo under the direc-tion of Frank Sole. Featured vocalists we know and love like Christine DeLeon, Jean Scully, Dave Kleiner, Carrie Cantor, Ken Galipeau, and Hen3ry Nerenberg will be joined by fantastic newcomers with dynamic vocal abilities like Ella Ackerman, Meg Beattie Patrick, Mitch Radler, Gordon Thomas Ward, Julie McCormack, and Fil Wisneski, not to mention this spring’s featured Getaway performer Kate Hedman.

Not only is there a longer list of our beloved member friends singing, but we guarantee you’ll be shocked, thrilled and pleased to see which of your fellow Minstrel audience members know how to belt out a love song. You will learn that some of those anonymous faces you’ve seen around the dessert table fighting for the last brownie really know how to belt out a tune and have a good time. And speaking of desserts, the special fundraising $12 admission includes the finest pastries, fruits, and chocolates served all year.

A New Bi-Monthly Newsletter SeriesBeginning in our March issue of this newsletter, we will be introducing to you a new series of inter-views called “Meet The Board.” As the name implies, this series will highlight a different Folk Project Board member each month.

We will finally have a chance to meet all those invisible folks who work in the background and keep the Folk Project trains running on time. They’ll have a chance to talk to us firsthand about who they are, what brought them to the Folk Project, what their current volunteer job consists of, and what triumphs and tribulations they may have encountered as they’ve completed their Folk Project rounds. So next time we attend a Folk Project event, be it a dance, concert, party, etc., we’ll have a better idea of all those folks who’ve labored to put that event together for us.

So please keep an eye peeled for this upcoming series of articles as the year 2015 unfolds. You can let us know what you think of them by sending an email to president@folkproject.org

Fri., Feb. 6: Valentines Day Extravaganza (admission $12 this show only)We celebrate this Holiday of Love with an all-Folk Project Members show to remember. Our Valentines Day Extravaganza is a huge music party, where Folk Project vocalists sing lead for our 10-piece, rock ‘n’ roll Loving Hearts Club Big Boogie Band (featuring Andy Goessling of Railroad Earth), or for our Valentines Jazz Combo under the direction of Frank Sole, or on their own. Princess Ruth will collect Messages from the Heart composed by members of the audience, which will be read by our MC couple, Gerry and Olga, for all to hear. This is your Minstrel community gone wild for love. You don’t want to miss it. The admission price of $12 for this unique Folk Project fundraiser includes extra special desserts and refreshments at no extra charge.

Fri., Feb. 13: 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 www.OpenStage.FolkProject.org.

Fri., Feb. 20: The Loose Canons with Toby FagensonWhen The Loose Canons came to the Minstrel last year, they packed the joint to the point where we had to turn people away. Perhaps their very name will give you some insight into their approach to music. This 11-member choral group sings intricate vocal arrangements of folk songs, doo-wop and classical favorites, as well as audience-participa-tory pieces, but they specialize in parodies, satire, novelty songs, and other bits of musical humor.

For those who like the humor of the Loose Canons, opener Toby Fagenson will be the perfect foil. He has a way with clever parodies that would make Weird Al Yankovich proud. He also has a wonderful collection of traditional and contempo-rary songs accompanied on guitar and banjo.

Fri., Feb. 27: Cricket Tell the Weather with Sam EdelstonCricket Tell the Weather is a young indie singer-songwriter band with deep bluegrass roots. Both the writing and the roots are very strong, with great songs, great instrumental chops (fiddle, gui-tar, banjo, and bass) and great bluegrass harmonies. This band is exploding on the folk and bluegrass scenes, with appearances at Falcon Ridge and the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, and numerous prestigious folk venues in the

Northeast. Catch ‘em now before they get too big for the Minstrel.“You can’t do that on a dulcimer!” Well, maybe you can’t, but Sam Edelston can. Sam has taken the mountain dulcimer from its backwoods Appalachian origins to places most players never dreamed of, from Sousa to Sinatra to Led Zeppelin. His instruments range from the traditional diatonic three-string to a fully chromatic electric with wah-wah pedal. Sam is a brilliant and innovative player, and no slouch on the guitar either.

Acoustic Getaway with ExtensionThe Getaway will be three days of our usual scheduled programming, but this Spring we’re following an age-old festival tradition by adding a one-day Getaway Extension. This optional Sunday evening and Monday will be at nominal cost and without a scheduled workshop program. Past Extensions have been relaxing, with music and conversation shared among a few dozen remaining friends.

The Extension will end on Monday afternoon with one of the happiest occasions our community can possibly celebrate and share: Tim and Nancy met at the Getaway one year ago, and they chose to be married at The Spring Getaway. We are honored by their choice to marry before their Folk Project and Getaway community. Read their invitation to us all below.

We always have the best lineup ever, and this time you’ll have to agree: Award winning singer/song-writer Lucy Kaplansky, Prairie Home Companion guitarist Pat Donohue, acclaimed old-timey and new-timey national phenoms The Wiyos, NJ Uke Fest headliner and gypsy guitarist extraordinaire Stu Fuchs, culture collector and creator of Village Harmony world song tours Brendan Taafe, and Project favorite Kate Hedman, she of gorgeous voice and winning presence.

The Getaway is Memorial Weekend, Friday through Sunday, May 22–24, 2015. The Extension is May 24–25. The joyous wedding celebration is May 25th.

It doesn’t get any better than this.

Wedding Extension InvitationEveryone who attends the upcoming Getaway is invited to share in our happiness and cheer as Tim Weinrich has the honor of marrying Nancy Beyer. If you read this note and you attend the Getaway, you are automatically invited. The wedding and reception will take place at Camp Bernie on Monday, May 25th (Memorial Day), the day after the Getaway. The ceremony will take place early Monday afternoon at the Outdoor Chapel on the far side of our parking field. The reception will immediately follow the ceremony in the Dining Hall cafeteria. There will be contra dancing to no less than Donna Hunt's calling and the music of Hold the Mustard. There will be multiple jam sessions. It will be fun! We hope you will join us.

If you do us the honor of attending, we need no additional gifts.

Preferred dress will be everything from cutoff jeans to formal gowns. There is no inappropriate dress at this wedding. (The bride and groom will, in all likelihood, be barefoot.)

Even though you are automatically invited, you must RSVP if you are planning to attend. Please use the checkbox on the Getaway registration form to do so.

—Nancy and Tim

Exploring Our PastIn March, the Folk Project will receive the 2015 Morris Arts Outstanding Arts Organization award,

"recognizing its extraordinary record of 40 years of service to acoustic music and its community." But, how many of us really know the history of this organization? To help us better understand our past, we will present a series of articles titled "Folk Lore," written by those who were there at the beginning. The first article is presented below, written by FP historian Jim King. Look forward to more articles in this series in future months.

Folk Lore: The FP Early YearsJune 7 marks an important birthday for The Folk project. Forty years ago—June 7, 1976—was the beginning of this group formed to “provide nonprofit, cultural activities in the fields of music and the folk arts to the general public and to the members of the organization.” Now, still an all-volunteer organization, over 600 members strong, we produce over 120 events a year: Music, Dance, Cable

TV, Community Outreach, Music Parties, Weekend Events—the list goes on and on. For the next several months, the Newsletter will highlight the origins and history of the activities that make up our Folk Project. This article is about beginnings.

In 1966, a coffeehouse called The Thirsty Ear opened on Williams Street in Morristown. The brainchild of Granville Miller, the “Ear” was a youth out-reach program by the Presbyterian Church, and the name was a take-off on a popular California coffeehouse called The Hungry I. In those days, coffeehouses were gathering places, where things happened—music, poetry, conversation, discussion. It was an exciting time. Peter, Paul and

Mary were on the radio, “Hootenanny” was on TV. Joan Baez, the Kingston Trio, Harry Belafonte were singing the hit songs of the day. Even Barbra Streisand was a folkie.

The only folk music event in the immediate area was the annual Tricorn Hootenanny held at Morristown High School for some ten years. The Thirsty Ear became a nightly gathering place for aspiring musicians, fans, and local performers. Performing groups formed, flowered briefly, and faded. New groups, like Frostwater, St. Elmo's Fire, and The Blue Sparks from Hell formed, and a few, notably Blue Sparks, lasted through a generation. After a time, the organizers tired, and The Thirsty Ear closed, but the community of young performers and friends remained.

A group called Project 21 formed. The name reflected the goal of spreading folk music to all 21 counties in NJ. Laurie Reily was the organizer, leader, and ”den mother” to the group. It was a suc-cessful, creative group, and things like a festival and a coffee house began to form. But, Laurie was doing most of the work, and she decided to move on to pursue her own music career. The remnants of Project 21 met, vowed to re-form and continue, working to share the load and create something that would last.

And so, after thoughtful planning and lots of discussion, The Folk Project was born. And here we are 40 years later. Still planning, still discussing, and still having way too much fun. And it's worth noting that in the present financial climate, when many arts organizations are struggling to survive, the Folk Project, without a physical office or paid staff, continues to flourish.

—Jim King

Folk Video: Folk Music at the EdgesIn this first selection of musical offerings, we're looking at the boundaries of what's considered folk music. The Folk Project has always been pretty liberal here, willing to consider almost any-thing within our scope. It's not what it is, or how it's played, but the heart and soul that go into it. So how about these?

Wayfaring Stranger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwVLpsgAe8E)

A traditional song, performed here by Jack White in a very traditional way. It's probably from the 19th century and was a big hit for Burl Ives in the 1940s. It's the kind of thing people probably hear in their head, when you tell them you like folk music.

Väsen Street (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWorsJwzycw)

This must be folk music! It features a nyckelharpa, for crying out loud. It's the Swedish trio Väsen playing a very infectious kind of traditional Swedish music. Once you've heard their sound there is no forgetting it.

Hold On (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le-3MIBxQTw)

Alabama Shakes has a keyboard player and a drummer, so we're moving closer to the edge. But just listen to Brittany Howard belt out this tune. You can hear America singing there.

National Anthem: Arise! Arise! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay1iC1zt24A)

Here's a particularly beautiful treatment of a song by Jean Rohe. She still graces the Minstrel stage from time to time, and has been part of The Folk Project family since she was just a wee lass. How folkie is that?

—Chris Riemer

Folk Project Board Meeting • January 6, 2015Board Meeting: The Summary

The January 6, 2015 Board Meeting was called to order at 8pm at Frank’s Pizza in Flanders.

Present: Mike Agranoff, Pat Brangs, Ken Brody, JoAnne Cronin, Christine DelVecchio, Lois DeRitter, Lori Falco, Scooter Ferguson, Deborah Graham, Andrew Hines, Grover Kemble, Allan Kugel, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Bob McNally, Lindsey Meyer, George Otto, Chris Riemer, Eddie Roffman, Rachel Streich, Barrett Wilson; Absent: Mike DelVecchio, Paul Fisher, Gloria Friedman, Steve Humphreys, Robin & Mark Schaffer, Jean Scully, Leigh Walker; Guests: Bill Henderson, Evelyn Maurer, Pam Robinson, Bob Safranek, Pam Turner

ADMINISTRATION: Newly elected President Barrett Wilson thanked outgoing members Bill Henderson, Rachel Streich, Jean Scully, Jim Gartner for their service and welcomed incoming board members Deborah Graham, Andrew Hines, Chris Riemer, and Ken Brody. The December 2014 minutes were accepted.

TREASURER’S REPORT: Outgoing Treasurer Bill Henderson reported that there is $2,597.28 in the money market account; $2,921.71 in the checking account when accounting for outstanding checks. The P/L stands at a loss of $15,726.15 for the year 2014.

NEW BUSINESSBOARD MEETING LOCATIONS: The President has requested that people sign up to host future board meetings.

SIGNIFICANT MINSTREL DONATION: Mike Agranoff reported that he was approached at the Christine Lavin concert by an anonymous FP member who is giving a $10,000 grant for improv-ing the sound system and the acoustics in conjunction with the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship upgrades. This will be handled by Sound who will provide updates to the board relating to the utilization of the funds.

COLLEGE OUTREACH PRESENTATION: Guest Pam Turner presented a concept to reach out to collegiate music majors and others to collaborate for the mutual benefit of the FP and those we might draw in. Pam has had contact with many music professors and more. This was very well received in general, and it was decided that further discussion at the next Board Meeting would be appropriate. Barrett thanked Pam for her time and presentation.

OLD BUSINESS

Ad Hoc Finance Committee: Chose to hold any report until the February Board meeting.

Ad Hoc Technology Committee: Plans to have a report for the February Board meeting.

Nominating Committee: Elizabeth reports the following regarding the resignation of Steve Humphreys. The committee had chosen a person and tendered an offer of service. In the mean-time, Jay Wilensky threw his hat into the ring. The committee reconsidered, decided that they would like Jay to fill the vacancy, and recommended this action to the board for approval. A motion was presented and unanimously approved.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:SPECIAL CONCERTS: Scooter had nothing new to report, yielding the floor to Pam who had pre-sented a show in December for the benefit of MUF. Attendance exceeded 150, and over $2,600 was raised. The show had a chorus, caroling, poetry, music, decorating, and was enjoyed by all. Many who missed it were bummed. Plans are to do it again, and discussions will ensue. Scooter reports that there are four special concerts scheduled; 5/1, 7/3, 8/28, 11/6. Information will be released on these events when finalized. Note: 8/28–29 is Uke Fest.

HSNOI: Ken had no additions to the report.

E-COMMUNICATONS: Lori reports we have 3,682 contacts in our Constant Contact database, up from 3,600 in November. McNally Instruments has signed up to use Constant Contact. By doing so, FP & McNally each received a $30 credit. SO, if anyone knows of another referral, FP can get a $30 credit, and so will the new client.

MEMBERSHIP: Eddie suggested the possibility that, if we reach out to colleges, he would propose they receive a 50% discount and that he would recommend it to the board. Pam mentioned later in the meeting that we got two new memberships at the NERFA Meeting.

NEWSLETTER: Wrapping up his first year, Chairman George Otto states that things are running much smoother. The proofreaders have been essential and valuable. Our new President is starting a series of articles: The Prez Sez, alternating with Meet The Board, in which he would present an up close and personal article about one of the Board members. Jim King has written an article about the History of the FP, and he might summarize his work in a couple of articles for us.

COMMUNITY SERVICES: Pat reports sending two emails recently about our performer list and to our member musicians for updating. Jim Gartner is playing a small concert for Memory Café in Morris Plains on January 19th. FYI, Memory Café is held at the Presbyterian Church on Littleton Road in Morris Plains for listeners, where generally one person of a “couple” is afflicted with Alzheimer’s.

MINSTREL BOOKING: New bookings include No Fuss & Feathers Road Show 9/18, Frank Vignola and Vinnie Raniolo for 10/2, Pat Donohue 10/16 and Tom Chapin, date still open. Please come out for Julie Gold 1/16, Vance Gilbert 1/23, and Bill Staines on 1/30—a great January lineup.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS: The starting time for Homemade Music Parties will generally be 8pm, unless noted differently. Christine & Steve Humphreys are hosting the event in February. Steve is a photo buff and will be providing free portrait shots at the event. The January party is at Margaret Crowl’s from 7pm to midnight.

The Board Meeting was adjourned at 9:58pm.

Next Meeting, 8pm on Feb. 3rd, 2015, at Pam Robinson & Bob Safranek’s home in New Providence.

Sat., Feb. 7: DAN BLACK & HOT HOUSE CONTRASSam Zygmuntowicz: fiddle • Danny Weiss: guitar • Danny Elias: clarinet • Joe DePaolo: drums, percussion—ContrasChef Black goes down to the Hot House to choose the freshest of dancing veg-gies for some Hot House Contras. In the spirit of Steve Goodman:

There was peas and greens and cabbage and beans, it was the biggest crowd you ever did see. And when old man cucumber struck up that number, well, you should have heard them vegetables scream. Oh, the little turnip top was doin' the backwards flop, the cabbage shook the shimmy and she could not stop. The little red beet shook its feet, the watermelon died of the cockeyed heat. The little tomato, agitator, shook the shimmy with the sweet potato, and old man garlic dropped dead of the colic. Down at the Swingin’ Tern this evening, down at Swingin’ Tern dance.

Sat., Feb. 21: RON BLECHNER & BLUE JERSEYLouise McClure: fiddle • Frank Ruck: mandolin • Ellen Ruck: guitar • Mike Sutton: bass—ContrasBlechner calls till he's blue in the face and that’s a good thing as Blue Jersey plays 50 shades of blue. You don't need a medium to come out of the dark and see the light beyond the pale. Ron and Blue Jersey give us the royal treatment and keep tune sapphire azure as the sky is blue. Indigo with navy a care unteal they send in the aquamarines. Then it’s take a powder or, baby, dance till midnight.
