Eugene Folklore Society

The next EFS Song Circle will be at the home of Sandy Mann on Wednesday, February 1st from 7:00-9:00 pm. If you need her address and directions to her place, you can call her at 541-687-4753.

We welcome musicians to play rhythm and sweet chords to support the spirited singing! Don't worry, it's not a performance, it's about the coziness and joy of making music with each other. Feel free to bring snacks or a beverage to share, but not required. Also, this group has been gaining popularity, (growing!) so we hope some of you bring a folding chair to ensure there are enough chairs for all.

We sing out of the Rise Up Singing songbook, so bring your copy if you have it. (We do have a few extra books for sharing until you get your own.) If you do bring a song to share (one that's not in the book), it helps if you bring enough copies of the lyrics (and chords) to share as well. For info about song circle in general, you can call Carol at 541-556-8241.
