Hi all, we’re hosting an open mic night on December 12th
I’d love to show off maker skills, so if you make instruments, music, or related things, let me know if you can be there!

Also, can I talk with you via email, and/or in person this weekend, re my idea about getting an instrument-maker group going? I’d like to aim for a first meeting in January. I’ll talk with Brian and others about this–all input and ideas welcome at this point. This event looks promising–and fun–for sure.

If you can get that on the calendar, I will try to publicize it thru the website.

I’ve made many instruments. I will bring a few.

I can help get this group scheduled, on the website, and advertised on socials and such. Give me a date and a short description and I’ll make it happen!

The open mic night is December 12, 6:30-9pm
The times aren’t 100% set in stone, so if delaying it to have some maker music thing before it starts is helpful…
Lemme know
We will be doing punk patches during the evening as well

Hi there, I am LynnH/ColorJoy. I just joined this group tonight.
I am a professional musician. I am not an instrument maker, but my Acoustic upright Heftone Bass was invented and built by my Late father-in-law. I suspect there might be some interest in checking out my instrument. I think Lex might have heard us perform before?
I usually sing Love songs from the 1920s with my husband Brian Hefferan, but I’ve been known to sing a cappella solo. A bass player who sings is not a full act, LOL.

That’s fine with me, tho in general terms it seems like 6:30 would be better for most people–? I notice the brewers group next meeting is at 7–could be better then to avoid dinner hour. Is there some sort of “official” announcement for this event (describing it) that I could share with my contacts?
Also, for your info, James Etherton., a member, is interested in the instrument-maker thing. I hope I got his last name correct. Not sure how to find him on this forum to message him myself.
Let’s start at 6:30 then!
I’ll think out loud with Lex and Jillian soon
Really looking forward to this thing!

Personally, I would love to see that instrument and meet you at the event. I make alternative ukuleles myself.

At @userdr and @cafwood , are both of you comfortable bringing in instruments you’ve made and talking about them at 6:30? Especially if you can have any in progress to share
Also, here’s a link to the event of Facebook
I’m hoping to bring a few instruments in. I will let you know if something comes up that prevents me from attending.

I will be there for sure, and have some things for “show and tell.” Also I hope my son will be there to perform one or more songs he has written.

I have a FB page for my ukuleles, “Dave’s Extravagant Ukuleles.” Redirecting...
I’ll be working in the wood shop today (be there by 1 pm or so)-- we can chat if you happen to be there.

Is there a specific reason for this being 18+? I’d really like to take olli for a little bit at least but don’t want him ruining the vibe or anything
