We pick a cozy spot and arrange chairs in a large circle. If there's a sizable crowd, we sit in concentric circles and work from the center outward. We choose a person to start with, and decide to move to the left or the right. The person who is "up" has several options:
1.PLAY: Play or sing a song for the group, read a poem, tell a story, play an instrumental. It's nice if you introduce yourself beforehand so that we may get to know you. If a song has a chorus that
you think folks would enjoy singing along with, you may want to teach it to the group before you begin so that we may join you. You may also invite others to play or jam along with you...or not. Your choice. Please ask if you want to play solo, since musicians just like to play along but will respect a person's desire to play alone when it is made known. All musical styles, all ages and skill levels are encouraged.
2. PICK: Choose a song you'd like to hear or have the group sing. You may also request songs of other people in the group if you aret familiar with their music and want to hear something that you and perhaps the others might enjoy.
3. PASS: For the spectators, the shy, or anyone else who wishes to participate in the group but tends to blank out under pressure. Or, for anyone with their mouth full of food.
SONG CIRCLE is a traditional, relaxed way to share time, fun, art, and community. Acoustic instruments of all kinds are encouraged, but not necessary if you simply love to sing. No one dominates, but anyone may lead the group in song or entertain when it is their turn. People may enter or leave the circle as they wish, but at all times within and without the circle, it is understood that no one is to be rude or disruptive. The circle will continue until the last hearty soul peters out, the Matrix closes, or we all file out and adjourn to the nearest gin mill to continue, to the shock and potential amusement of the local patrons.
