Next Time: Sat., 5/28, 11am-2pm, behind McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS)
WEATHER PERMITTING
Bring your own stand and chair.
The WEATHER PERMITTING is something to take seriously this weekend. The temperature looks favorable, but there is a decent chance of rain at the start time.
The weather last week caused cancellation, so nothing to report. Let's hope we have something to write home about this week.

NO WORKSHOP May 21, 2022. The weather is not in our favor this weekend.
A nice roundup of workshop veterans this past week: Sam (trombone, bass), Jack (trumpet, percussion), Wes (tenor), Raphael (bass), Serdar (guitar), and Steve (alto and percussion).
We played the following tunes.
Work Song ((II-429, Sam)
Along Came Betty (III-22, Wes)
Ain't Misbehavin' (III-13, Serdar)
Three Little Words (III-406, Yours Truly)
Solar (I-363, Jack)

Chitlins Con Carne (I-81, Sam)
Groovin' High (I-166, Wes)
Alice in Wonderland (I-17, Serdar)
I Love Paris (I-189, Your Scribe)
We'd sure love to have you join us next time (just not this coming weekend: too cold).

The Girl from Ipanema (I-158)
My Romance (I-289)
Pennies from Heaven (II-309)
Two Degrees East, Three Degrees West (II-408)

Fly Me To The Moon (II-135)
Blues By Five (II-58)
West Coast Blues (I-436)
The Lady Is A Tramp (III-227)
I'll try to make future reports more action-packed. And one of these days I will find out how to change the information running down the right hand side of the page.

It looks like this weekend will be decent enough weather for starting up the Workshop for Summer 2022. Let's assume everything will be the same as last year unless and until we can find an indoor home. For now, though, here are the details.
When: Saturday, May 7, 11am-2pm (maybe 3, depending on who wants to stick around)
Where: Behind (the North side of) McRae Recreation Center, 906 E. 47th Street, Minneapolis
Bring your own chair and stand!
