In the morning I put together an advertisement for The Rounder Circle, the group I am promoting to appear next Thursday. I am not sure I mentioned them before?
A couple of months ago (6.285) I took the guitar to Gryphon Instruments. While I was waiting for the repair guy to do his thing, I was listening to other clients. There was an attractive young woman talking about her guitar and explaining that she has a group, she said they were doing “about a gig every week” or something like that. The clerk asked the name, and she said “The rounder circle” and then had to explain how it’s a joke, nothing is rounder than a circle, but it could also be a circle of rounders, old word for wastrels or layabouts.
Naturally I had to look them up (see link above) and check some videos, and figured they would go over well at CH. So I went through the process we have to book musical events, got an ok, and invited the group. They’re coming Thursday night and it was time to put up ads on all the floor bulletin boards. There are rules: half-page size, no sooner than a week ahead. So I printed up 10 copies and went around and posted them.
Then at 11 I got in Fred and drove down to the Museum and led the noon tour. About 20 people at the start, several small kids who dropped off, ended with a dozen. Good tour. Back home for a nap, then took the guitar down to the practice room and practiced my half hour set which actually runs to 35 minutes but I doubt they will care.
