Jolly good fun, free reeds & a bottle, what?
The Concert
Recordings
Saturday night at the Squeeze in there's a concert which show-cases everyone at all skill and musical interests: from a kid playing Clementine to Klezmer to a Telemann duet to self-composed rags to a Broadway show-tune from 1901 (would you believe that's where "Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum" comes from?) to "Irish Eyes are Shining" to folk songs from the 1500s to a Hurdy Gurdy to tangos to........All it takes is a little bit of nerve......and the audience is very friendly

The Squeeze-In Mailing Lists
NESI now has two
Yahoo mailing lists, one for news and announcements
(Squeeze-In News), the other for everybody to talk about the Squeeze-In
(SI-Talk).
SQUEEZE-IN NEWS: A mailing list that the organizers will use
to
send out announcements about NESI. There are very, very few messages
that you will get from si-news...it's just "official" messages:
information about the next Squeeze-In, notification afterwards of when
the Talent Night recording is available and the like. There
are
about 6-10 messages a year. So you don't need to worry about
your
mailbox filling up with junk from this list. You cannot send messages
to the group, since it's more like a newsletter than a
discussion
forum. For the latter there is.................
SI-TALK: A discussion forum that anyone can join. Its purpose
is
to provide a place for people to exchange information and talk about
what they'd like to see at NESI. There are resources on the
Yahoo
website relative to the Squeeze-In that you can access. If you sign up
for this list, you'll probably get more messages. Still the
squeezers on this list have been thoughtful with their messages: this
year it looks like the message count will be around 50 messages, and
most of those were just before NESI with questions from newcomers and
answers/suggestions from old-timers.
Please send a note to contact@squeeze-in.org
if you wish to subscribe to either or both of these mailing lists. More details here
