Fri., Sept. 4: Bob Malone with Mike MizWhen Bob Malone isn’t occupied as John Fogarty’s (Creedence Clearwater Revival) piano player, he tours as a great solo performer. In that setting he con-jures up images of Professor Longhair or Tom Waits. He mixes literate, sardonic, gutsy songwriting with full-tilt barrelhouse piano for a powerful stage presence.

Mike Miz (the Guitar Wiz) is a songwriter with some particularly spectacular guitar chops. His flatpick work ramps up the energy level of his songs into overdrive. His songs are influenced by the Pennsylvania coal country of his upbringing and evoke the rustic and down-to-earth atmosphere of that region.

Fri., Sept. 11: 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., Sept. 18: Geoff Muldaur with Frank and HankGeoff Muldaur is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the “Great Folk Scare” of the 1960’s and ‘70’s. Back then, Geoff made a series of highly influential recordings with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, his then-wife Maria, and other notables (Bonnie Raitt, Eric Von Schmidt, Jerry Garcia, etc.). With great guitar chops and his singular voice, Geoff brings the music of rural and urban America in the first half of the 20th Century to life, interspersing the songs with wonderful stories of people and events of that exciting music scene of the 60’s and 70’s.

An eclectic mix of music from bluegrass to jazz to standards comes from the agile musical minds of Folk Project members Frank Sole and Hank (Hen3ry) Nerenberg. Frank is a skilled guitarist both in lead flatpicking styles and in Django-inspired jazz. Hen3ry (the 3 is silent) has one of the widest ranging musical minds in the Project, and is a genius at innovative and appropriate arrangement.

Fri., Sept. 25: Tom Chapin with Matt AronsTom Chapin’s music spans generations from the heady Greenwich Village days when he performed with

his brothers Harry and Steve and dad Jim, through to today. He serves up a tasty mix of story songs, ballads, comedic and political songs, family music, sing-alongs, old-time folk classics and a favorite song or two of his late brother Harry’s. With an agile fingerstyle guitar, gentle humor, audience inclusiveness, and a concern for the Earth and its resources, Tom puts on a memorable show.

Tonight’s opener, 17-year-old Matt Arons has studied guitar with the likes of David Bromberg, Woody Mann, and Roy Book Binder. And has learned his les-sons very well. He plays and sings with a skill, subtlety, and sensitivity rare in a seasoned adult performer, let alone someone of his years. This kid will go far.

UPCOMING: 10/2: Stuart Fuchs with Andy Koenig & Friends; 10/9: Closed for the Folk Project Fall Getaway; 10/16: Pat Donohue with Diane Perry & Friends; 10/23: Split Bill—Peter Fischman & Deb O’Hanlon and Andrew Dunn; 10/30: Folk Project Halloween Concert

A Folk Project Special ConcertThe Rumpke Mountain Boys

with special guest

David Gans

Friday, November 13, 2015 • 8pm

$15 advance, $20 at the door

Pot-Luck Brunch, book signing and jam-with-the-band Saturday morning

The Rumpke Mountain BoysThe Rumpke Mountain Boys combine signature vocals, a unique command of stringed instruments

(acoustic guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and banjo) and dynamic special effects into a singular musical experience. Bluegrass instrumentation and styling like nothing you’ve heard before.

Like playing around a campfire, the Boys take turns calling the next tune, distilling shows from a sea of infinite notes created from years of jamming. Drawing upon an ever grow-ing catalog of originals and an eclectic mix of covers ranging from Randy Newman to The Grateful Dead, covering all the ground between.

David GansMaking a living outside the normal nine-to-five schedule is a difficult proposition; making a living that way while making an interesting life is even harder. David Gans has done both, as a musician, a radio producer, and an author/journalist.

David brings us a bit of everything this time around. He will open for (and undoubtedly jam with) The Rumpke Mountain Boys on Friday night, and on Saturday morning his new book “Playing in the Band: An Oral and Visual Portrait of the Grateful Dead” will be the focus of a pot-luck brunch, book signing, and jam session in Rockaway, NJ.

Details and advance tickets available at folkproject.org or call 908/229-1214 with any questions.

Folk Project Board Meeting • August 4, 2015Board Meeting: The Summary

10 11

The meeting was called to order at 8:05pm on August 4th at the home of Grover Kemble. There was a quorum.

Present: Joanne Cronin, Lois DeRitter, Deborah Graham, Grover Kemble, Allan Kugel, Bob McNally, Lindsey Meyer, Barrett Wilson and Jay Wilensky (Trustees), Pat Brangs, Christine DeLeon, Mike Del Vecchio, Lori Falco, Paul Fisher, Elizabeth Lachowicz, George Otto, Chris Riemer, Mark Schaffer, Robin Schaffer, Leigh Walker, Andrew Hines, Ed Roffman, Jean Scully, and Dave Heistand. Absent: Mike Agranoff, Ken Brody, and Scooter Ferguson.

Secretary’s ReportLindsey Meyer asked that the June minutes be clarified to reflect that the votes against Deborah Graham’s appointment as Membership Co-Chairperson were NOT any reflection on Deborah. Rather, they were all a statement that five board members were against keeping a dual Chairpersonship. All present agreed with this restatement of the prior meeting. Minutes accepted as amended

July minutes accepted, as submitted by Chris Riemer in the absence of Andrew Hines.

Treasurer’s ReportChris had nothing particular to add to his written report. Our cash on hand as of July 30 totaled just over $42,000. And in the first half we have posted a profit of about $5,500, which is a nice change from last year.

Business ItemsAndrew reported that 40th Anniversary commemorative Tee Shirts were designed by Deborah Graham and printed locally by Mr. Tees of Boonton. Everyone loved the design. The Tees were sold at the Minstrel and at the 40th Concert. The project was a success for the Folk Project. There are still some shirts available that are SIGNED by Tom Paxton. Contact Andrew if interested at [email protected].

Committee NewsRobin and Mark will remain as chairpersons of the Getaway. Preparations are proceeding towards another amazing weekend. Within two weeks all but five openings have been filled. We note that Michael Agranoff was not present due to unfortunate fall resulting in a broken collarbone. (At the time of this writing (8/15), I spoke to Michael yesterday…and he is rapidly improving and feeling much better.) Scooter reports that Uke Fest has about 40 registrants, expects a flurry soon…so sign up quickly. Paul is seeking new volunteers for Publicity from the membership. Jean reports that our “Twitter Followers” numbers are up. Barrett is always looking to expand our volunteer pool. He is also streamlining tasks where possible.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:10pm.

The next meeting will be held at the home of Allan Kugel & Cecilia Rowedder in Highland Park.

In July, Eddie Roffman rode his bicycle 373 miles along the Erie Canal. In September, Eddie will be start-ing his seventh year as Cantor at Congregation Knesseth Israel in Bound Brook.

Elizabeth Lachowicz is going to Chicago with her family in mid-August for her niece's "Happily-Ever-After" party, in place of her niece's postponed wedding reception in Chicago this winter. "Who's gonna come to Chicago in the winter?"

Mark and Robin Schaffer are grandparents again. His name is Andrew Raymond. Mark and Robin are just back from a week in Florida with 24 relatives: eating, drinking, swimming, playing games, and visiting Disney World. A good time was had by all. Mark also reports that he was given a book by a member, Ed, called Folksong America, A 20th Century Revival, for our "library" at the Minstrel. Many board members expressed interest in reading it. Robin adds that they are going to Denver to visit her daughter Devon later in August.

Grover Kemble's kitchen is almost done, and it looks gorgeous. Anyone who is considering a remodel can contact Grover for details on his great contractor.

Andrew Hines is tired. The remodeling at his house is proceeding rapidly-painting, decks, patio repaving, etc., etc. Besides that, he is preparing to a vacation in North Carolina to celebrate several family birthdays in late September and early October.

Jean Scully's son Von just got accepted into a program to teach English in Spain. He and his girlfriend Rose are heading off to Spain for the beginning of the school year in October. Jean and Dave Heistand went to Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and had a wonderful time. They rented an RV to see whether they liked it, and they decided they did Not like it. Judy Collins closed the festival and sang Dave Carter's "When I Go," which she has recorded with Willie Nelson.

Bob McNally was disappointed to have to miss the 40th Anniversary festivities, since he was working at a craft festival, but his consolation was that he got "Best in Show!" Sandy is expecting two more grand-children, so Bob is expecting de facto grandfatherhood. His kids are exploring the National Parks of the West and working their way east.

Paul and Gloria Fisher were also at Falcon Ridge, Gloria for the first time, and they enjoyed themselves.

Deborah Graham is driving to Wisconsin for an open-air painting course and will take the opportunity to play tourist for the first time in Chicago, where she has visited the flight attendant lounge many times.,

Evelyn Maurer and her sister Christine Cameron (also FP Member) had a wonderful 4-day New York City Reunion (early July) with their relatives from Germany, for the first time in 34 years! A few days later (July 15th), Christine underwent Quadruple Coronary Artery Bypass surgery. Her recovery has been slow, with some setbacks, but she is now slowly, steadily improving in a Rehabilitation facility.

Lois DeRitter heard two favorite songs on the Rutgers radio station as she was driving to church on two successive Sundays. The first was "Oldest of Friends," by Huxtable, Christensen and Hood, shortly after their Minstrel concert. The next week the DJ played Jean Rohe singing "National Anthem: Arise, Arise!" Lois almost made a U-turn so she didn't lose the station's signal. Jean Scully chimed in that Jean Rohe owned Falcon Ridge—she was everywhere—on the main stage, workshop stage, pirate camp. and was the hit of the weekend. Well-deserved.

Dave Heistand followed up on Jean Scully's tale of the RV. The AC made a lot of noise. Having a close bathroom to visit in the middle of the night was great, but the AC noise was not.

On March 7th, the first day of her honeymoon with Steve Wright, Jennie Avila fell on the Duchess of Suffolk monument in Westminster Abbey, London, and broke her right wrist. The cast came off near the end of April. The recovery and rehab have been slow and painful.

After much travail, Joanne Cronin has a working computer again.
