Guitar League Meeting

Main Presenter: The Noisy Boys
Since 1992, Chris Krupa & Terry Clifton have played over 4000 shows together in 15 different states. Throughout the Northeast they have shared their unique blend of acoustic covers with hundreds of thousands of people. Chris & Terry began performing together in the summer of 1992 where they met as undergraduates at LeMoyne College in Syracuse, New York.

Their repertoire includes something for everyone with covers by contemporary artists such as Dave Matthews, Pearl Jam and U2, as well as older favorites from The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors and everything in between. With Chris’ warm vocal melodies and Terry’s mastery of the acoustic guitar, along with a quick witted and an entertaining fast paced show, they have been on tour and entertaining for over three decades together. Chris & Terry truly provide music and entertainment that everyone can appreciate and enjoy.

Breakout Sessions / Group Workshops:

To derive the most benefit from these breakout sessions, please bring your acoustic guitar to the meeting with you. No one is ever forced to play, but, due to the no pressure, welcoming vibe of Guitar League meetings, most long time members of GL will tell you they are glad they had their guitars with them at their first and all subsequent Guitar League meetings.

Breakout Session Details:

Rookies and Rusties Session:
Jimmy Flynn will be leading this breakout session where those in attendance learn to play and sing songs in a group setting. This is a great way for participants to learn several songs each month that they can add to their own personal song book. This month we will be working on the following 7 songs:
Last Kiss-by The Cavaliers / Pearl Jam (Key of D), Act Naturally by Buck Owens / Ringo Starr (Key of D), Traveling Man by Ricky Nelson (Key of D), I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash (Key of G), Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms (Key of A), Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley (Key of D) and Rocking Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee (Key of C). Jim sent the song sheets out to those on the GL Google Group list on October 28th. There will be a limited number of the song sheets available at the meeting for those joining us for the first time.

Song Circle Session: Bob Raymonda will be leading / moderating our song circle. This is a great session for those who want to play open mics, prepare for professional performing gigs or who just want to share their music (either cover tunes or originals) with others in the circle. If you want others in the circle to accompany you on any of your songs, please bring copies of your song sheet / lead sheet to shared.

Jeff Stanton will be teaching a sesson for those interested in starting tp learn a fiddle tune for guitar using simple tabs. This session is suitable for all skill levels.

So there you have it … a full and entertaining agenda for our November Guitar League meeting if there ever was one. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting! Oh, and keep in mind your first Guitar League meeting is always free of charge, so you can see if Guitar League is something you would be interested in joining.

That being said, we look forward to seeing you this coming Monday, November 3rd for our next regularly scheduled meeting!

P.S -Please mark your calendar for December 1st, so you don”t miss our the Open Mic and Holiday Party planned for our December GL meeting. This will be a great way to end our GL schedule for 2025 on a festive note.
