Nov 8th (Thurs) 7:00 Del Rey House Concert
Guitar ~ Ukulele
Del Rey started playing guitar when she
was four years old. At thirteen, she was immersed in the world of folk music,
via the San Diego Folk Festival. She has tried to get a whole band onto her
solo instrument from the beginning. This gives her music an interesting
complexity, especially when applied to the ukulele.
Del Rey has taught
and played all over the world, and brings her distinctive finger-style approach
to guitar and ukulele. Rags, blues and tunes of the early 20th century are her
specialty, even as she writes new music to add to the tradition. Del Rey
also has fashion sense that would make Minnie Pearl smile.
Doors
open at 6:30
Suggested
donation $15–$25

Driveway Gets Gravel
We're getting ready for the rainy season by graveling the driveway for mud prevention. The less mud that gets tracked into the hall the better it is for our dance floor.
