2018 Annual Dinner/MeetingTue., Dec. 4, 2018 • Dinner at 6pm , Annual Meeting at 8pm

Long Hill Tavern, 632 Meyersville Road, Gillette, NJ

Dear Fellow Folk Project Members:

All Folk Project members are invited to attend and participate in our upcoming Annual Meeting on Tuesday, December 4. We are changing things up a little this year by moving the meeting location to a new venue, the Long Hill Tavern (formerly the Meyersville Inn) in Gillette, NJ. All FP members are welcome to join us at 6pm for dinner before the meeting at a fixed price of $15/person (not including alcoholic beverages). There is no charge to attend the Annual Meeting, which begins at 8pm sharp. Dinner reservations are required—please RSVP to president@folkproject.org or text 973/476-6792, and be sure to list the number of people attending.

At the meeting, elections will be held to fill open positions on our Folk Project Board of Directors. These include all four Officer positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary), plus four Trustees. See page 12 for the official Nominations Committee slate. We will also accept nominations from the floor during the voting process.

Looking forward to seeing you there. —Steven Humphreys, President

Evening o’ MusicSat., Nov. 10, 8pm • Elly Faden’s

12 5th Street, Hazlet, NJ • 415/342-1552

Friends, our host for the November EOM will be hosting for the very first time! Elly’s home is just 10 minutes off of Exit 117 on the Garden State Parkway, so southern Projectiles, rejoice! Travel time is approximately one hour from Minstrel, so folks may want to carpool. As usual, it’s a potluck, so please bring food and drink to share as well as your voices and instruments. If you have any extra folding or camp chairs that you can bring, that would be helpful but not necessary.

Directions: Take the Garden State Parkway to Exit 117, for Route 36. Take 36 towards Hazlet for approximately 4 miles. At the intersection with Laurel Avenue, make the jughandle to go across the highway (left) and follow Laurel Avenue and make a right onto 5th Street. You can park on the street.

Special Announcement/Heads-Up for the December EOM Due to a very special concert with the bluegrass legend Tony Trischka on December 8th, the DECEMBER EOM will take place at Steve and Christine Humphreys’ home on the first Saturday in December, December 1, instead of the usual second Saturday slot. So save the date!

Fri., Nov. 2: Magpie with Hal Guitarist Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino have been married and performing together as Magpie for over 25 years. Their vocal harmonies blend perfectly. Their instrumental work on guitar, mandolin, and harmonica is top notch. And their music ranges from ‘30s swing to environmentally and socially active folk music.

Hal Guitarist is a young singer who channels the songwriters who, at his age, formed the backbone of the socially conscious Folk movement of the early ‘60s. From Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan to Phil Ochs, he convinc-ingly delivers the classic songs with the freshness and fervor of those early pioneers of the movement, along with a few of his own compositions as well.

Fri., Nov. 9: OpenStage ($5 admission OpenStage only)The Minstrel OpenStage is the place where a diverse collection of acoustic musicians perform for a welcoming, supportive, and attentive audience. We’ve often seen previews of our regularly scheduled opening acts for the first time at OpenStage. Admission is $5 at the door but is free for anyone under the age of 25. For informa-tion on how to sign up to perform at our next OpenStage, visit www.OpenStage.FolkProject.org. Featured act:

“Late Night Pizza” featuring Rich Baron.

Fri., Nov. 16: CANCELED—The Shockenaw Mountain Boys with Russ RentlerOn October 12, Andy Goessling, key member of The Shockenaw Mountain Boys succumbed to cancer. Consequently, the band will not be able to appear and the Minstrel will be dark this night, as we all mourn Andy’s passing. Instead, everyone is invited to share music and friendship at the home of Mark & Robin Schaffer starting at 8pm. Bring your instrument, your voice, and your good spirits. This is a music party—not a memorial—but friends of Andy are especially welcomed to come and sing songs and tell stories that honor our beautiful friend. Address: 196 Mt. Pleasant Ave, Rockaway, NJ. Phone: 201/207-8696. (Program your GPS for 197.)

Fri., Nov. 23: Windborne with Maia McCormickYou may remember Windborne from their stellar opening set for Frank Vignola last spring. Conjuring up echoes of “Finest Kind,” Windborne is a harmony-driven quartet of 20-somethings who revel in the vocal traditions of the British Isles and early American folk song. To this, they add vocal harmony traditions around the world from the Balkans to South Africa. They sing either a capella, or with spare accompaniment on banjo, fiddle, and percussion.

Maia McCormick came to folk music through the unaccompanied song tradition. Her wide repertoire, gleaned from years of pub sings and song swaps, encompasses both the classic and contemporary; she performs touch-ing ballads, rousing shanties, and some songs more ridiculous than sublime. Maia with her warm, resonant voice offers her listeners choruses in abundance to sing along with.

Fri., Nov. 30: Reeds, Rhythm, And All That Brass with Frank & HankLaunched in 1973, Reeds, Rhythm, and All That Brass is an 18-piece band playing the classic American Songbook repertoire of the Big Band era and beyond. They perform the music made famous by Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, and the like. The band includes Folk Project members Jeff Rantzer and Hen3ry Nerenberg on trombone, Darrell Courtley on sax, Frank Sole on guitar, and Jay Wilensky on vocals.

Tonight’s opening act is composed of two members of our headline act, 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 appro-priate arrangement.

Getaway Does It Again!The Fall Acoustic Getaway fulfilled its promise—a three-day community filled with music and friendship, on a mission of entertainment, education, self-expression, and joy.

Thanks to the dozens and dozens of volunteers that contributed their time, energy, love, skill, hard work, and talent to this superb event that crystalizes and spreads the Folk Project message to so many.

Thanks to everyone who attended. You are the Getaway. You all added to the music, the mission, and the weekend collective bent on bonding, celebrating, and having a great musical time together.

Mark down May 17–19, 2019. It’s a new date, the weekend BEFORE Memorial weekend. Plus, we’re totally thrilled about our new venue, Stony Point Center. It makes “the best damn 3-day music party ever” even better. We’ll tell you more about it in future newsletters.

A Holiday Benefit Concertfor The Morristown Unitarian Fellowship

Fri., Dec. 21, 7:30pm • Pre-Concert Caroling 7pm • The MinstrelSuggested Door Donation is a minimum of $15

It’s the Fa la la la la, la la la la time of year. Come on out, one and all!

The Folk Project is presenting a Winter Holiday Benefit Concert to raise money for the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship. The Fellowship has been the long-time host for our Minstrel concert series and numerous other Folk Project events.

The festivities will have something for everyone, from soulful holiday ballads, to tra-ditional seasonal classics, choral arrangements, and even some original tunes. Sing along with performers Katherine Rondeau, Mark Dutton, Pamela Zave, Dave Sherman, Randie O’Neil, and Kenneth Chin, hosted by Master Elf MC Bob McNally. Arrive early and join Ken Galipeau, who will be caroling in the Terrace Room.

Since the Fellowship is a charitable religious organization, your donation is tax deductible. Additional donations are always welcome and The Fellowship will send a written acknowl-edgment for check donations of $250 or greater. If you will be out of town on the evening of the show, please still consider making a donation to The Fellowship. Checks can be mailed directly to The Fellowship at 21 Normandy Heights Road Morristown NJ 07960. Make your check payable to Morristown Unitarian Fellowship and please put “Folk Project-Holiday” in the memo line.

Keep the sleigh bells ringing and jingle bells jingling!

See you on the 21st. —Pam Robinson, Special Concerts Chair

Advance Ticket Sales for the MinstrelIf you look at the Minstrel Schedule on the Folk Project website, you’ll see a lot of high-powered acts already booked in 2019: Susan Werner, Tom Chapin, Cheryl Wheeler, and Phil Ochs Song Night to name a few, with more to come. To help you avoid being closed out of these popular shows, we will be instituting a program to sell advance tickets to the Minstrel on the web. Advance sales will be available for all regular Minstrel shows, as well as Special Concerts, and perhaps some Member Concerts as well. We expect to have the advance sale program ready sometime in early November, and we will be selling tickets for shows starting in mid-January. We will always have about 5 months worth of tickets at all times once we start the program.

Many thanks to Gary Pratt, a new member of the Minstrel team, who will be administering the pro-gram, and to Treasurer Chris Riemer, Electronic Communications Director Lori Falco, and Webmaster John Lamb who have all been extremely helpful in setting up all the logistical arrangements of instituting this program. —Mike Agranoff, Minstrel Program Chair

Improvisation LessonsFrank Sole is offering classes in Improvisation and Ear Training for all instruments. The instruction is based on traditional methods as taught by many of the greatest Jazz improvisers. The skills learned are applicable to all styles of music.

Some of the techniques taught include chord tone and guide tone exercises, scale tone exercises, motif development, and ear training. The guiding principle of this curriculum is “If you can sing it, you can play it.”

Being able to improvise means being able to hear and sing what you are going to play. Therefore, all exercises are both sung and played. This is how we begin to connect our ears to our fingers. Learning to improvise is a skill that takes time and effort to develop, but the rewards are great.

Being able to create a spontaneous melody is great fun and can be very entertaining to an audience as they can get a sense of being in the moment with you as new music is being created.

Music SeriesStudio Yoga Madison is pleased to announce another event in the acoustic Green Light Music Series. Experience live music in an intimate venue, up close with the performers.

CHRISTINE DELEON is a musical gem, often compared to the likes of Judy Collins and Joan Baez. “The impact of her pure and impressive voice is immediate and transporting. The range of emotions she instills in every note in every song for every audience is expansive and thrilling,” a venue director has noted. It is clear why Christine was a finalist in the 2015 Rose Garden Coffeehouse Performing Songwriter Competition, a winner in the 2014 Recording Artists Development Singing Contest, a three-category nominee in the 2013 Jersey Acoustic Music Awards and a winner in the 2008 New Jersey Folk Festival Songwriting Competition. Christine will be joined by songwriting partner and jazz guitarist extraordinaire, FRANK SOLE. As a duo, aptly named “Del Sol,” they will enjoy sharing some new co-written songs.

Admission is $10/advance and $15/door. For more information, email staff@studioyogamadison.com, call 973-966-5311, or visit http://www.studioyogamadison.com/events/.

Folk Project Board Meeting • October 2, 2018Board Meeting: The Summary

Good o’ the OrderA place to share news with your Folk Project Community about memorable events and challenges.

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

10 11

The October 2, 2018, meeting was called to order at 8pm, in Marie Trontell and Jay Wilensky’s Western Outpost and Saloon.

Present: Steve Humphreys, Christine DeLeon, Dave Heistand, Ken Brody, Allan Kugel, Evelyn McNally, Olga Alvarez, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Bob McNally, Kathi Caccavale, Jay Wilensky, Chris Riemer (officers and trustees); Mark Schaffer, Jean Scully, Joanne Cronin, Mike Agranoff, George Otto, Paul Fisher, John Mahon, Pam Robinson, Lindsey Meyer (committee chairs). Absent: Sandie Reilly, Mitch Radler, Lois DeRitter. Guests: Robin Schaffer, Lori Falco.

MOTIONS The Board approved the September 2018 minutes, as amended.

The Board authorized holding the December meeting and dinner at Long Hill Tavern, and to sub-sidize the charge for members’ meals, including soda, above $15.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTSPresident: Steve Humphreys compiled and presented a list of Best Practices, with the aim of fos-tering a culture of greater cooperation and collegiality among the Board. Steve noted that the list can be incorporated into the Board Book which he intends to assemble. Chris Riemer, while noting the similarity of the list to the Rules of Engagement recently formulated by the Board, agreed that the list is important as a constant reminder of Board members’ obligations to one another. The specific items on the list will be further discussed by the Board.

Steve also announced that, for personal reasons, he will be stepping down from the Board at the completion of his term. He added that it was an “honor and privilege to serve” as the Project’s President. After prolonged applause, Secretary Jay Wilensky stated that the Project is far better for Steve’s service.

Steve also mentioned, again to applause, that the Board’s nominee as the next President will be Paul Fisher.

COMMITTEE REPORTSEvent Hosting: Chair Jean Scully noted the “good” turnout for the September Evening of Music at Kleiner-Pagan World Headquarters. A host is still needed for the November Eve O’, but President Steve has graciously agreed to host the December Holiday Evening. Pam Robinson noted that the December Eve may be moved to the first Saturday. Mike Agranoff objected to conflicting with a Swingin’ Tern dance, but Pam replied that there is a possibility that an exceptional concert can be staged on the regular night [Tony Trischka Special Concert now confirmed, sec’y].

Horses Sing None of It: Representative Ken Brody noted that Horses continues to experience minor technical problems but is working through them.

Special Concerts/Uke Fest: Chair Pam Robinson noted the success of this year’s Uke Fest, includ-ing attendance of 160 for the Saturday concert, and a strong financial showing. Pam already has a date and venue for next year. To applause, President Steve noted that Pam is “doing a fantastic job.”

Minstrel Staffing: Chair Jean Scully is looking into ways to reduce the Minstrel’s ecological footprint, including the use of compostable utensils. Jean thanked soundies John Mahon and Bob Safranek for their efforts in developing Concert Window and the sound feed into the lobby.

Minstrel Booking: Chair Mike Agranoff noted that the recent slump in Minstrel attendance has ended. He also announced that he is formulating plans for advance ticket sales for Minstrel and that Gary Pratt will administer the program.

E-Communications: Robin Schaffer reported on her efforts to maximize exposure to Project events for recipients of FP e-mails. Her plan is to include a link within the Project banner of all FP e-mails to a page that summarizes all activities offered by the Project.

NEW BUSINESSAmendment to Bylaws: Secretary Jay introduced an amendment to the bylaws that would eliminate the requirement that the President be a trustee as well. Chris Riemer asserted that the requirement serves no purpose but questioned the reason for the change. President Steve stated that the pur-pose is to enable the Board to infuse new blood by opening up a Trustee position.

Pam R. strongly opposed the amendment, stating that it would create an “electoral college” and permit the surprise election of an outsider to the Presidency. Steve authorized discussion of the issue by e-mail before the next meeting, when the proposed change will be voted on.

Board Retreat: Elizabeth Lachowicz reported that she has discussed the concept of a Board retreat with Bill Hector, a local consultant (and musician), and will continue to investigate.

ONWARD!The meeting was adjourned at 10:11pm. The next meeting will be held on November 13, 2018, at 8pm, at the home of Yolanda Fundora and Pamela Zave. All members are welcome; e-mail secretary@folkproject.org for directions and details.

The Folk Project mourns the death of Andy Goessling, a beloved world-class multi-instrumen-talist who graced the Minstrel and Getaway stages over the years as a solo artist, a member of the Shockenaw Mountain Boys (a subset of Railroad Earth), and as a collaborator with other per-formers. He’ll be remembered as a genuinely warm-hearted man who always had time to listen and talk to fans and friends, and for his disarming humor, and as a mentor to young musicians. Andy was a founding member of the Blue Sparks from Hell, Kings in Disguise, Secret Admirers, the hugely popular Railroad Earth, and played with countless other musicians. Andy is survived by his wife, Alison Boardman Goessling, who has been instrumental in training Minstrel staff to use the soundboard over the years.

Elizabeth Lachowicz’s son Thomas is going into the Navy on October 9 and bids a loving fare-well to all. Elizabeth asks for good wishes, prayers, etc., for him, and also for her brother Donald, the Brother, who is having open-heart surgery October 10. She’s going to Chicago for business right after Getaway, and then again later in October for her sister’s 50th wedding anniversary. Elizabeth now has two new grandnephews, Ricky and Christian. And Betsy Rose had a gig in September that Elizabeth is still glowing over.

Mike Agranoff had a very disheartening experience recently. He went to the tailor and had all his trousers shortened by an inch to inch and a half.

Bob McNally reports that his kids, Heather and Ross, spent the last three weeks hiking the John Muir Trail, part of the Pacific Crest Trail in California, through Yosemite to Mount Whitney. When they got to Mount Whitney, they decided to climb it by moonlight so they could reach the top to see the sunrise. They accomplished it and it was gorgeous. Very hardy kids.

Pam Robinson: On Sunday a week ago she recreated a picture that was taken of her in the mid-1970s, steering the Clearwater.

Paul and Gloria Fisher went to a concert last month at the People’s Voice Cafe in memory of the 45th anniversary of the death of Victor Jara. It was very moving.

Jean Scully: Von Scully is working for AmeriCorps (like the Peace Corps, but domestic) as one of twenty-one Watershed Ambassadors in the state of New Jersey. He will be testing the health of waterways in the Raritan River Watershed. He will also be presenting and teaching about water-shed health, pollution, and ecology to schools and civic organizations. He just completed eight

days of training courses and gave his first presentation at the Raritan River Festival. He loves what he’s doing! Jean is very proud.

Dave Heistand chimes in that Von is now the proud possessor of five-foot waders. Dave is head-ing out to Southern California after Getaway to visit his brother and family, and to see Southern California again, where he grew up. It’s been thirty or forty years since he’s been there.

Evelyn McNally: Ditto what Bob said. Heather and Ross just loved every minute of their trip, and it was beautiful.

Robin Schaffer: My oldest daughter is expecting in January—another grandchild is on the way!

Mark Schaffer: The three sisters are throwing a French-themed baby shower. Mark and Robin just got back from a trip to Bryce Canyon National Park with former FP President Ed Ludlow and wife Judy Richterman: One of the best parts of the trip was before flying out of Las Vegas they saw a Rat Pack impersonation show that was outrageously fun and wonderful. Getaway is going to be phenomenal!

Lois DeRitter: My daughter Lauralyn, who was done out of her professorship in the spring because her college failed financially, has found a great job in clinical veterinary medicine. The people love her and she loves them. She negotiated a great salary, and it’s only minutes from her house. Lois is very proud.

Joanne Cronin is reacquainting herself with reading music after she joined the local choir in Boonton, Clarum Sonum, which performed at the MUF benefit two years ago. It’s really challenging, but fun.

Diane Perry is excited about her upcoming Semi-Formal official showcase at the 2018 NERFA conference. Her slot is Saturday night, Nov. 9 at 11:05pm in the International Ballroom (the same room as the formals), Crowne Plaza, Stamford, CT. She is grateful to Mark and Robin Schaffer for the opportunity to perform at the Fall Getaway, and to her Folk Project family for their overwhelm-ing response to her set and continued support, and thanks her band, FP member bassist/guitarist Frank Sole and pianist Ted Brancato! Bill Hall (who was also to appear with Diane) is recovering from his bout with double pneumonia and is doing considerably better. Diane is in preproduction on her first folk CD, with some brand new original material as well as some Folk Project favorites.

Good of the Order (cont’d)

Remembering Andy GoesslingI met Andy in 1979 when he was playing with the amazing Blue Sparks from Hell at the Stanhope House, and we became friendly over the years. After I married in 1988, he and his wife Alison Goessling formed a band with my then-husband Patrick Regan, with Alison on bass, Akire Bubar (and later Shannon Anderson) on vocals, and Patrick and Andy on every other instrument under the sun. They played local gigs, including the Minstrel.

Andy and Alison were frequent visitors, and my sons, Wyatt and Miles Regan, grew up thinking that it was normal to hear great music in our home, seeing Andy’s instruments floating in and out of the house, and

being treated like musical grownups. Wyatt wrote this about Andy, “I credit Andy with my resolve to never give up working towards being a professional musician, advising me to write actual endings to my songs, and never failing to blow me away every time he picked up any sort of instrument.”

The world has lost a great man who always had time to really listen, to be kind to everyone, to encourage people to pick up an instrument, explore a song, and gleefully push beyond what you already know. I once asked him how he was able to play so many genres and styles so effortlessly. He answered in his usual modest Andy way: “You just channel a great musician and let them speak through your instrument.” I know musicians everywhere are trying their darndest to channel you, Andy. —Lindsey Meyer
