1. Call to Order
2. Approve Minutes Board approved minutes.
3. Financial Report Board approved Financial Reports
4. ASBF review discussion. Attendance up, but made less money at String Band Festival.
CD – Perhaps someone handed out the wrong wristbands? Hard to keep track, some volunteers pay,
others don’t. Would. An unexpected expense: $200 for manager’s fee in Camp Ben contract this year
Contract was handed to us AT the festival. No time to dispute or discuss. Would like to get a small
group of board members together to brainstorm on festival improvements for next year. ACTION
JD – Having extra dances successful. KT – Needed more volunteers in kitchen. AW – Not enough
volunteers at stage, CF – Workshop volunteers: 3 volunteers needed. Two volunteers signed up, one
was ill at last minute. Managed with help of several people that were recruited. Purly Gates’
workshop miscommunication was unfortunate – Confirmation not received early enough to advertise
in newsletter, facebook, website, etc. (not in program, no one knew anything about at
information/merchandise booth)–. ACTION: Write down all comments on ASBF and send to Tim
Wooten
5. Midwinter Festival discussion –
a. Working with Mary Brogan to reduce costs by reducing number of hours. DAC will be available for
us at 10 am (1 hour later than previous years) providing a cost reduction of $162 on contract. Will
look into further cost reduction if we end an hour earlier. Vacate premises by 11 pm.
TW -Will resubmit contract. ACTION
b. Volunteers –ACTION ITEM for KT -Time to recruit volunteers.

David Hamburger, Mark Gilston (suggested he add some folks to his performance, various ones that

for Irish music. KT – Tim Kerr and Clay Levit also play Irish. Reed Island Rounders.
TW – We have Eight, 45 minute slots. The first band goes on at 1 pm, the last one at 8 pm.
Discussion
CF – Silent Auction, who is in charge? AW – List silent auction as a volunteer position. (note: Erica
Braverman has volunteered to be Silent Auction manager as discussed with CF on 12/3/13)
CF – Will coordinate workshops.
AW – Suggests having one of the workshop rooms set up for a “multi-purpose” space – miniperformances, jamming, etc. for people milling around that don’t like to sit down.
JD – Need to have separate admission gate handlers (volunteers, members/non-members, etc.)
JD – Motion to have different performance slots for main stage, as per disgression of talent coordinator
(AW). Approved by board.
CF – Elks Club is no longer up the street for parking. Will look into what’s happening with their
parking lot. ACTION
MWF ticket prices – 12 and under free, $20/AFTM members, $25/general admission. 90 years
and older – FREE, otherwise, no senior discount. Board discussed and approved.
Volunteers – Half-price admission instead of free entry. Performers get in for free?

Friday before festival. TW – Suggests Elizabeth’s house. Needs to coordinate with band and
Elizabeth.

Tommy Jarrell, concert and dancing. Cost: $4000 plus travel for 4 people. EP willing to put up $2000
(estimated travel expense). Time involved: 1 - 1.5 hours.
JD – Need to negotiate down. Important to bring groups from outside of Austin.
DF – Musicians with connection to tradition will draw those come to play music and less likely to
come for entertainment.
TW – Unless we can get a significant reduction, no. Another possibility is for AFTM to be a liaison
with a production company that has theatre space, to hold performance outside of the festival.
8. Pending business: LEFT PENDING
a. What level of formality, approval process, and designation of responsibilities does the board desire
for AFTM sponsored concerts, workshops or other events?
b. Any response to Dan’s e-mail to Evan Leslie?: Evan Leslie, community engagement coordinator for

present a bluegrass concert featuring fiddling in association with the Yehudi Menhuin Competition for
Young Violinists.
c. Frequently asked questions (and answers). Send these to Dan.

No reply yet on contract from Camp Ben McCullough (twice contacted). Requested an invoice
from Pink Sound, will follow up. Airfare for Archie (sound engineer from previous festivals) to be
discussed later (Pink Sound).
Strongly urge we use Base Camp software for project management of festival activities. Seth will
get us set up for this.
What merchandise will we procure this year? T-shirts. Anything else to be discussed later.
c. Goal date to have info in place to put poster/ads together. Not discussed.
d. Sponsorships –
BD – Replace festival tote bags with “t-shirts” and signed posters by artist. Will make changes and
send around via email. Deadline for sponsorship funds (especially ones that will be added to tshirts/poster) will remain September 1, 2012.
TW – Deadline is flexible. Will not turn down $ if sponsorship comes after.
CF - $500 sponsorship logo to be added to t-shirt? KOOP was added last year.
e. Angel Polacheck has agreed to help with posters and/or t-shirt designing.
JD - Would like to see more examples of her work before designs implemented.
5. ASCAP - TW several months ago offered to pay a reduced fee to account for the fact that the
great majority of tunes played at our functions are in the public domain. That offer was refused. TW
also invited them to our festivals to see for themselves what kind of music is played. So far that
invitation has not been accepted. TW is ignoring their most recent request. Board please advise if
another course of action is preferred.
TW – Called and left message for Nancy Fly to discuss ASCAP, but never connected. (Nancy Fly,
local agent and long-time friend of AFTM, offered to talk to ASCAP on AFTM’s behalf, via email
with Christy F.)
BD – I would like to read contract to see what we’re committing to, and decide later.
6. Pending business
BD – We need to get updates on insurance and pet policy by July or August. Especially if we
have a dance at Carpenter Hall at end of August.
TW – Will find out if our old policy is still in force or not.
�RE: policy and procedures manual
JD – Will have a rough draft ready for next month.
Other business? JD - No date from Dougherty Arts Center yet for Mid-Winter Festival.
JD – Suggested we try to have another square dance at Carpenter Hall (perhaps end of August)
because the location may not be around much longer.

Slaughter Creek Drought Busters
19 September 2024
Batch Show Setlist, Notes, Source Links
�Dead Man's Piece: Banjo: fCFCD, Sanshin: CFC
"Similar to another tune but specific to Lee Hammons. He said that an old man liked the
tune so well that he wanted it played all night at his wake. So banjo players sat up and
traded the banjo around and accommodated him. Lee couldn't remember the dead man’s
name. This is why he called it ‘the Dead Man's Piece’." - Dwight Diller from “Obscure
Underground Clawhammer Banjo from Mysterious Central West Virginia.”
The Hammons Family played music for generations along the Williams River in West
Virginia, preserving some distinct and powerful old music
We play this one as a duet with the Sanshin, ancestor of the more familiar Shamisen. The
sanshin is Japan's banjo and has Chinese origins. The US banjo has West African origins.
Below is a link to Dwight Diller performing this tune.
Walking In the Parlor: Banjo: gCGCD, Guitar: Standard
We play Lee Hammons’ version. “Probably something like an old ‘playparty song’. It does
have words that go along with it. Something like: “Walkin in th’ parlor, walkin in th’ring,
walkin in th’parlor to hear the banjo ring; ………”. Dwight Diller.
�Abe's Retreat > Yew Piney Mountain: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD
Both are Dwight Diller's banjo arrangements. Abe’s Retreat is loosely based on the fiddling
of Emory Bailey, Played in his slow and steady clawhammer style. Uses a tuning with a
deep bellow that Dwight called Low G. Refers to the first Battle of Bull Run, the first major
battle of the US Civil War. And the first retreat for the Union Army. Yew Pines are a type of
Red Spruce. “The “yew pine,” for the old mountain people around here, was the ‘red
spruce’ which grows at approximately 4000’ and above. The Wright Bros used ‘yew pine’ red
spruce boards in their ‘airship’ while building it down at Kitty Hawk back in about 1903.”
Dwight Diller.
Abe’s Retreat – Emory Bailey fiddle
Abe’s Retreat – Dwight Diller banjo
Yew Piney Mountain – Dwight Diller banjo
Shady Grove: Banjo: gDGCD, Fiddle: GDGD
Frankenstein tune using two version of an old melody called Shady Grove. Instrumental
section comes from banjo master Wade Ward of Independence, Virginia. Born in the late
1890's and having a sharp striking attack in his signature clawhammer style. The singing
part is based loosely on the banjo playing of Doc Watson.
�Shady Grove – Doc Watson banjo.
Shady Grove – Wade Ward banjo
Speed of the Plow: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD
Tune from East Kentucky fiddler John Morgan Salyer, who was recorded at home by his kids
in the early 40's.
Yew Piney Mountain - Lester McCumbers: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD
Lester was a monster player from Nicut, WV. He played some slow, groovy, crooked tunes
with the fiddle tucked into his shoulder.
�Brown's Dream: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD
From the Roan Mountain Hilltoppers of Tennessee. Family string band with a driving
country sound. Somehow wound up receiving a visit from the Sex Pistols during the punk
band's disastrous US tour in the late 70's. One of a family of tunes named after the famous
abolitionist John Brown. "John Brown dreamed the devil was dead", as Round Peak, North
Carolina fiddler Tommy Jarrell would shout over the tune.]
Greasy Coat: Banjo: gDGCD, Fiddle: GDGD
A Hammons tune from a digerent interpreter, closely following folk revival fiddler Lisa
Ornstein's playing. Lot of debate in the old-time community on what exactly the title refers
to.
Greasy Coat - Andy Cahan, Laura Fishleder, Lisa Ornstein
Old Greasy Coat – Edden Hammons

ASBF
Jeanne has contacted several bands for ASBF which are primarily bands led by
women. Not all have committed. She is actively working on the line up.
Facepainters will charge $135.00 an hour. Suggestions were made to raise ticket
prices for the increased costs but without a vote, the decision seemed to be to keep
prices this same this year.
Jeanne requested ideas for the children’s activities. Suggestions were offered,
including Oliver Steck’s squirrel show, instrument “petting zoo”, and Malissa
Mollberg’s play party games., Kim Lehman stories.
Need more hula hoops. ACTION: MATT, ask Megan.
ACTION Tim
Confirm date with Camp Ben and ask for a contract asap
Everyone, find sponsors using documents sponsor pack set up by Dan T.
Dan Foster has 115 reel to reel tapes from Leo Sullivan of many music performances
and events held by AFTM in the 80s. He plans to digitize the tapes at a cost of
$4K-$6K. He asked is he could do this in association with AFTM to get non-profit
status.
No one objected though there was no vote. He will bring it up when it has come
together more.
Board will continue to meet for now at Austin Hearing Aid Center, 4403 Manchaca
Road.
Meeting adjourned.
