This from Riyaz Shaikh reporting on the Saturday slow session at the New York Irish Center in Long Island City:

Hi folks,

We had a good session last saturday, with a surprisingly big turnout (even though the 7 train wasnt running). There were some familiar faces and munchies as well (almost seemed like the monthly CCE sunday session they have downstairs).

There's been a good mix of beginner and experienced musicians lately, and interesting ideas for improvement. One was to have a weekly tuneslist to practice off. Let us know if you'd like to try that out.

Details about next session:

@Location: New York Irish center, 1040 Jackson Ave, Long Island City

@Time: 12pm-2pm

@Cost: FREE (or few dollars to show our appreciation for amenities)

@Tunelist (just suggestions, you can still play what you know): https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au6bNzrMqPgFdHl4M2FRZXlFVjZ4a3hqTDEtdGJIc1E&authkey=CK7epr0I&hl=en_US#gid=0
