AFTM MINUTES – 12:30 p.m., July 14, 2013
Tom’s Tabooley
1. Call to Order by Dan Foster (Tim and Angie Wooten were not able to attend)
2. Approve Minutes - Minutes were approved.
3. Financial Report – CD - Membership dues are down. Only 2 from May and June this year. Due
to lack of events (no house concerts, etc.) Need to send reminders out.
MS – Last membership email-out for house concert, many emails bounced back. Will run a sort and
find the expired and send letter out to those that need to renew. ACTION ITEM
4. ASBF discussion
JD – Will start stage shows at 1 pm and no supper break this year. Have not heard back from Austin
Outhouse or Pink Sound yet.
Discussion about getting radio air-time. CF - KUT contact, Peter Babb, to set up possible interview
with Paul Brown ahead of festival. Will also contact KOOP for Friday morning live appearance on
Ms. Pearl’s General Store. Week of festival is pledge week on KUT and weeks before that, Austin
City Limits promotion will take precedent.
CD – Any suggestions on how to designate campers? Stretch tape – neon various colors. Camp
Ben uses a certain color that we should NOT use. Camper or tent needs to have this tag on, not car
dashboard.
JD – Neon colored plastic ties? Will go to Home Depot and investigate.
CD – Numbered tickets this year to keep better track of how many camping stickers were sold.
CD – RE: Moving admission gate table closer in, so volunteers don’t miss the whole stage show?
Still need to figure this out. Electricity at that location a factor.
JD – Shut gate down at 8 pm and leave a sign for folks to come to merch booth to pay?
DF – Would it be possible to hire someone that’s trustworthy to sit at gate after 8 pm?
5. Next Flipnotics showcase?
Aug. 6 – Missing Parts and a replacement band for Blue Buckskin Winchers (had to cancel).
JD – Suggests we have past AFTM newsletters at Showcases to hand out. Need to reprint.
ACTION ITEM
6. Any update on this?: Evan Leslie, Butler School of Music at the University of Texas asked for
our help in the Spring of 2014, to present a bluegrass concert featuring fiddling in association with
the Yehudi Menhuin Competition for Young Violinists.
DF – No updates – Sent a long email to Mr. Leslie, have not heard back.
7. CF – Dr. Gary Hartmann’s TX Music History Journal, next issue out Nov 1, 2013. Too late to be
considered for an AFTM article or ad this time. Gary has offered to bring some past issues out to
ASBF for merch booth.
8. CF - Pioneer Farms is interested in AFTM having the Mid-Winter Festival at the farms. DF and
CF spoke to Mike and Steve on the board of Pioneer Farms briefly. JD and CD also visited after
this board meeting and pointed out several drawbacks for moving MWF for 2014. Namely, no
electricity to small buildings (maybe no heat either?) for workshops. Dance hall very nice for a
dance, but not so good for a performance setting. No kitchen, to sell food and drink. CF/DF will
get back to Pioneer Farms when Mike returns from vacation. ACTION ITEM
9. CF – Nancy Fly asked AFTM to co-host last 3 Sundays in August at Antone's providing an
opening act at 7pm to go on before Los Texmaniacs. Our name and logo should be listed on the
Antone’s website as co-hosts and we will, in turn, post to the AFTM website. It was decided that
�we will provide band names to Nancy Fly and she will take care of the rest.

JD – Motion to have different performance slots for main stage, as per disgression of talent coordinator

Friday before festival. TW – Suggests Elizabeth’s house. Needs to coordinate with band and
Elizabeth.
CD - $5 off coupon for Mid-Winter Festival brainstorm to hand out to house concert attendees, and at
Flipnotics, etc.
7. Proposal for ASBF 2014. James Leva “performance piece”. Scripted performance. Story telling of
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
the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas asked for our help in the Spring of 2014, to
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.
d. policy and procedures manual
Other business? Keith Tuxhorn announced that the Country Dance Society (CDSS) chose Austin as
one of their tour stops. 1 week in 2015 – music education and dance. Would like to work with AFTM
on shaping the week. We need to find venue/location. Will get back to us after he learns more info on
details.

Minutes AFTM September 19, 2021
In attendance:
Tim and Angie, Jeanne, Lee, James, Matt with proxy given by Rachel, Gary, & Mike
Minutes approved from August without discussion.
Financial report, sent by Rachel in an email, was approved without discussion.
Website report by James was that he plans to update the website to include festival
information after the board meeting.
Tim introduced Matt Welch to the board. Matt told the board about his background
and interest in aftm. He will provide a bio for us. Motion was made and seconded to
accept Matt as a board member. Matt joined the board by unanimous vote.
October ASB campout/jam report
Jeanne gave her suggestion that the formal activities all be ditched with informal
activities to take place at campsites. These are to include band sets at campsites,
Mira presenting a Norway show and tell, Rachel’s friend to have story telling, and
any spontaneous events to be listed on a board near the restrooms with some brief
directions to the campsite and a time. This would take all activities away from the
stage area and we would still rent that space to hold it so no other groups would be
using it for other events.
The festival will be free to the public and all camp fees will be collected by Camp
Ben. Jeanne suggested that AFTM pay the performers who are asked to perform. She
later suggested in an email that we at least pay for their aftm membership if they
aren’t paid for their performance.
Trash bags will be given to all campers who will be responsible for carrying their
own trash and recycling to either the large dumpster or to their homes.
No volunteers would be needed except to pick up trash that is left on Sunday. Matt
and Tim volunteered to do this with the help of one volunteer from Camp Ben.
The event will be covered by aftm’s insurance. It will be an AFTM sponsored event.
Angie expressed Covid concerns if people gather up close around campsites to hear.
She expressed a preference to either cancel planned activities or to have all
performances take place on the stage with simple sound system and chairs placed
with safe social distancing in the pavilion area below the stage. No vote was made
for or against proposed changes to the format.

December 11, 2021 AFTM Board meeting
Attending:
Matt, Mike, Gary, Lee, Dan Thompson, Tim, Angie
Special guest: Margie Bivens representing String Break
No minutes available from November.
No financial report though Cheryl shared that our balance has not changed much.
We still owe $500.00 to Festival of Texas Fiddling.
Margie Bivens attended to discuss having AFTM Austin Camp Jam join with the
String Break group. The basic format is keep it simple; no gate charges other than
camp fee to Camp Ben, no rental of the pavilion, no structured activities, no set date.
They are open to the open mic idea, possibly on stage.
They would consider sharing the cost of rental for the stage.
Action: Tim will check with Crystal to see if there are open weekends this Spring.
Looking for dates that don’t conflict with Old Settlers or other events held at Camp
Ben.
Mike’s suggestion (not a vote) of trying it one year was received well by most board
members and Margie.
Newsletter report
Gary has plenty content for the newsletter, with a cover story on the Camp Jam. It
will be coming out either just before or after Christmas. Sounds like a good one!
Website
James has agreed to take over the AFTM website if he can pass some of his current
duties on to other board members. Mike and James have agreed to take on some of
these duties.
Agenda items:
1. In person meetings discussion for board meetings and/or jams.
Tim referred to the Bylaws which say “The Board shall schedule regular
social meetings for the purpose of sharing music and disseminating
information.” Jamming in person can be resumed, at least outdoors. Ideas
were shared on holding jams.
Matt offered the ranch on the Pedernales River across from Hamilton Pool where
he is working. The Winn development would welcome our music around the
Farm area and there is the possibility that this may lead to a relationship
between AFTM and the Winns where other music events could be held.
Action: Tim will contact Britt about the Patterson Park jam status regarding
possibilities for taking that on as an AFTM jam.
�2. Scholarships
Scholarship format we currently follow will be shared by Tim. Board members
were asked to read over the email so discussion can follow about how to move
forward in the future. All present were in favor of continuing to offer
scholarships, with details to be determined.
Action: Tim will provide an email about the current scholarship format.
Board members: Submit any ideas for discussion.
Dan offered the possibility of offering a scholarship for the Jump Start weekend
in March being held in the home of Gene and Marinell Young. Jump Start puts on
weekend events offering performances and workshops. The cost for attending,
including all meals, is $350-$400. (I have no information about this event to
offer in my email)
Meeting adjourned
