It's Spring again, so let's give this one more try.

Welcome back!

It's spring time again, and so that means it's time to dust off our instruments and give this another go.

We now have a goal to work towards, in that there are now two sessions that have started up I would like to check out, once my skill feels minimally adequate:

1. Our Town Session -- hosted at the aforementioned coffee house, first Monday's of the month. Blues focus

2. Sparticus Bookshop Session - First Wednesday of the Month, all styles focus

3. (Previously known about weekly session on Thursdays in Kitsilano, Celtic focus)


So. Let's put a few weeks in polishing things back up to workable, and get out and be musically social!
