November 2005

 

 

Hello and Happy Holidays!

At the October meeting we were happy to welcome Irv Brown for the first of a multi-part presentation about building chords. He has a lot of information to share and provided handouts that should help develop our abilities with the guitar or any other string instrument. Wow, homework!

We officially re-instated Matt Engle back to his post as President. We also thank Rick Miller for his time and dedication in stepping up to the plate while Matt was away. Great job!

October Song Of The Month entries were Maryanne by Steve Owen, Box & Ladder by Matt Engle and Lisa Pollock, Judgment Day by Rick Miller, The War by Hal Worcester, and A Girl Like You by Michael Cooper. Great stuff! The winner was A Girl Like You by Michael Cooper. Congratulations!

In this issue you will find the second installment from Allan Byer, Success is in the Journey not the Destination.

We will see you at the November 27 meeting at 2pm

The Rambler room - McMenamin’s in Bend

BRING THE MUSIC!

We began with a lecture on building chords given by local guitar player and instructor

Irv Brown. This was the first of a several - part series. Handouts and homework were provided. We are looking forward to further instruction!
