Gettin' This Show on the Road

First off, thank you Laura for sharing the chords/lyrics and videos to "A Few Old Memories."  I'll figure out a way to get those linked up on the sidebar for easy access.

Last Sunday's gathering was eventful!  We have two opportunities coming to play for an audience: the Jim Scott concert celebrating Pete Seeger at the end of May (either the 29th or 31st, TBD), and the Music Sunday service at UUFD on August 23rd.

These are some possibilities we tried out for the set list in May.  Let's polish them up separately as well as we are able, then we can hear what needs refining when we gather again on the 10th.  I look forward to figuring out who wants to claim which harmonies.

My Rainbow Race - Pete Seeger (key of G?)
Turn, Turn, Turn - Pete Seeger (key of C)
Everything is Holy Now - Peter Mayer (key of D)

Although we didn't play it last session, we've practiced "Paradise" enough (see sidebar) that I think we could put it together in time.  Likewise "I'll Fly Away."

Finally, Nathan and I discovered our mutual enthusiasm for Dolly Parton's cover of "Shine" (by Collective Soul).  Let's see if I can link to the video...



And yep, it really is just G, C, & D.  That'll be a fun experiment next session, too.  Harmony!

No Session April 12th!

I'm out of town, and Nathan has a conflicting obligation April 12th. We will resume our joyful noise on the 26th! Keep singing. :)
