WUMB Winter Weekend

Posted on by

The second WW will be bigger! and better! than ever. Held deep in the woods at Grontonwood Camp in Groton MA, WW features classes, workshops, concerts and fire-light jam sessions, and always in our own easily and inclusive SAMW way. Bring your snurf board, too: there’s a little hill we can slide on in the snow. Staff TBA, but here’s a hint: Lorraine will be there!

L&B at el Tremedal with Dean Stevens

Fiends for the Bean o’ Caffeine! That’s the theme for this fun-filled concert evening in Watertown.  Naturally we’ll also look at politics and religion; science and spirituality; wisdom and folly; and the art of laughing and crying at the same time.

There will be a festive spread of  delicious and entertaining holiday fare from Central America before the show, and very repeat very good coffee, of course.

December 14,  8 p.m., at 35 Church St., Watertown, MA, for El Tremedal Coffeehouse. http://tremedal.org/

Lorraine and I will joyfully head back to Banjo Camp at Prindle Pond Centre in Charlton, MA. She runs the beginner track, and I help out here and there with guerilla banjo workshops, guitar tutoring ‘n’ stuff.  It’s the most fun there is. Tell ’em “Bennett sent me” and I get 50 bucks!
