 Sign
up now to Frolic!
You can’t come if you aren’t registered,
so print
out an application and send it in pronto. Dancing,
singing, eating and celebrating community are all
key to Faultline Frolic, the urban contra camp NBCDS
holds at Monroe Hall in Santa Rosa ‘round
the summer solstice. The sixth annual Frolic starts
Friday night, June 18, and runs through Sunday the
20th. The weekend features Notorious, considered
by certain opinionated dance gypsies to be the reigning
hottest contra band in the land. Eden MacAdam-Somer
on fiddle brings classical technique and international
versatility to the melody lead; Larry Unger on guitar
and banjo writes unforgettable tunes and is the
undisputed master of contra rhythm and blues; Sam
Bartlett on mandolin is everybody’s favorite
virtuoso stuntman; and Pokey is the percussionist
most in demand with bands from Wild Asparagus to
The Sevens. Cis Hinkle, masterful Atlanta caller,
teaches quick and clear with great programming,
flawless timing and an unfailing sense of fun. There
will also be organized singing with song leader Nathan Riebli.
Saturday’s dinner and Sunday’s breakfast are catered by Michael Martin with cheerful volunteers. Want to help make pancakes from Michael’s fresh-ground grains? Or wash organic lettuce from his garden? Or pitch in on other kitchen tasks? Email andy@nbcds.org.
When you register, be sure to note whether you can offer housing to gypsies. And don’t wait
to sign up; the hall is charming—but on the smaller side! For more information call 707 996-0065 or email reta@nbcds.org. |
