Welcome ALL to the 
 Classical Christmas Meeting
Mon. Dec. 12 ,  at the Pheasent Plucker, 20 Augusta Street, Hamilton
             7:30 sign in, show starts at 8:00
Hello Everyone,

       Holiday time has come again.   Time to play a tune, give best wishes, enjoy some music, food and cheer with your old friends at the Hamilton Guitar Association and SOFGA.

Dust off those Christmas tunes, (if you can remember them) , Enjoy some light refreshments and treats then sit back for an ensemble  yuletide set from our resident classical crew.



Last time our feature set from John Harris and Andy Rock, (collectively known as Crazy Chester) proved to be a heart warming display of song, guitar technique and friendly ol music and manner from two of our favorite club members. Check out this clip of Deep River Blues . Thanks guys for being great musicians, club members and friends. (look..., I'm getting all mushy like... it must be Christmas time)

See you soon and...Dress Nice Damn-it ,    It's Christmass

Hga...SOFGA    meeting
Mon. Nov.28 ,  at the good ol Pheasent Plucker, 20 Augusta Street, Hamilton
             7:30 sign in, show starts at 8:00
EYE ACHE,... MY EAR!

This week HGA is proud to present the rescheduled feature set by super solid club members, players and friends John Harris and Andy Rock

I tell you, I've not seen performers who look like they are having as much fun playing together as these two.Catch a clip of John doing Blake Snake Blues . I couldn't find a clip of Andy but maybe he'll have a chance to explain this photo

Check out the website for clips of our last club night, featuring the sensational EMMA RUSH, (which was literally infested with nylon stringers)  and there captivating classical chantadas. We also had a visit from Bob Maclean who will be on spotlight for a feature set later this year.

While your at it, notice the new listening room page where you can listen to and record music for me to post. If you are one of the many telecommuting to the club via the website, now you can share by playing us a tune. It's like an online open mic. Presently there is only one measly song from me, but ,  with your help we'll have  some   "enjoyable"   "music" from actual "musicians" very shortly.

Thanks being a part of our guitar community,

See you Monday night,

Mark
