Your gift enables us to meet our mission.
It's hot here in Texas, but we're used to it. We take advantage of the mornings and evening outdoors, but hide in our cool air-conditioned buildings in the heat of the day like lizards under rocks. I picked up Jimmy Kachulas at the airport in the middle of the day in the middle of July. He had come down from Berklee to give a melody writing seminar for Dallas Songwriters. Riding home from the airport he commented, "Why is there no one on the streets? Where are all the people? " . Well, he had stepped into an air-conditioned car from a very cool airport and did not realize how hot it really was outside. I had to give up my newly acquired ASCAP baseball hat that I got from the ASCAP river boat during SXSW so he had something to cover his almost bald head. BTW, his workshop was great.

Our regular DSA monthly events remain the same 1st and 3rd Monday SongSwaps and 3rd Thursday and last Monday Open Mic. For details, see #2 and #4 below. Some of us like to visit the Poor Davids Pub Open Mic every Monday.
Mark your calendars for the DSA BBQ, Jam and Pool Party on Aug. 8th at the home of our Prez, Michael Brandenberger. This takes the place of our Second Tuesday Meeting.

2. DSA MEETINGS - SECOND TUESDAY WORKSHOP
July 14: Bill Nash
Long time member of the local folk community and friend of Uncle
Calvins, Bill Nash will speak at the July 14th DSA meeting on
alternative tunings for the guitar using multiple capos. Because of
health issues and his unwillingness to give up what he loves doing, Bill
has developed ways of playing guitar that require less finger mobility.
Come see how you can adapt Bill's discoveries to your songwriting.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bill-Nash-Music/108308564708?fref=ts
