Everyone who has attended and participated in a Monthly Hoot is a "member". That's certainly scores people since it got started way back in 2004. It ought to include you as well!
In a perfect world The Monthly Hoot is a totally open arts jam. ..musicians, poets, dancers, visual artists--everyone's welcome to come and do their thing together, ensemble style. Usually there are about twenty or so participants, and usually they're musicians, but it'd be REALLY NICE to get some other art going...
Influences
Each person there has an influence on the Hoot; we take turns calling tunes.
Sounds Like
welll....
ya know, it's an amateur thing. and often people are "sightreading"...so there's a lot of spontaneous stuff..some of it's OK; some of it's not OK and some of it's SUBLIME.
....although that's subjective
For some reason it's just fun to jam on Sunday afternoon. And once a month is sustainable. That's it basically. You're welcome to show up and join us, especially if you listen as you play, and you dig improvisation.
We get together on the first and third Sunday afternoons of each month at The Nomad, which is at 501 Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis. It's just a friendly, folksie, rockin, take-turns kinda jam, where everyone has a chance to lead (a little) and follow (mostly). The only rule is to take turns; let the other person lead when it's her/his turn! Even if (you think) you know the song better than the song leader...when it's not your turn to lead, you should be following, supporting...
the little tiny drawings of lyrics were me :) and the poem on the front :) it was fun, thank you for letting me run with it :D Did Bobby get it yet? I bet he loved it! (there were like 4 other people who drew art on it too ;)
