Global Beat! Global Beat!
Diane & Bob Jones were the gracious hosts of the April 27th 2001 meeting and chose an international music theme for the first round of selections, before opening up for new or newly discovered (or rediscovered) tracks later. As usual, requests, shouts of "oh, you HAVE to play..." and "...this is a PERFECT segue" followed and fine time was had by all (judging by the empties!)
Among those playing tracks were (in no particular order): Diane & Bob Jones, Dave Haynes, Joan Barrett, Lyn & Lew Overton, Rudy Danzinger, Simon & Maura Hill, Dave Morgan, Jack Mootz, Jeff Trager, Steve & Vicki Warner.
