Greetings,
Here are Sunday's rehearsal recordings -- including two Christmas songs worked up for the occasion.
I know we're going to have big fun this Saturday and feel confident we'll give a great concert as well.
The only unknown is whether Mark will miss the gig due to a possible out-of-town obligation. (We all hope he gets free.)
Alger's brother, percussionist Gary S (whose Greenville band plays out three times a week) will sit in with us this Saturday... mostly on congas.
And! Our two newest memebers -- Alex G and Benja N -- are both on board.
In addition to "Summertime" (and lots of top-flight harmonizing), Benja will sing lead on his Dad's brilliant composition, "Say It Ain't So." Benja will be accompanied by his Dad Dan N's stand-up bass.
"Are You Going To Be My Girl?"
"Moondance"
"Summertime"
(GB and BN sing consecutive versions)
"The Thrill Is Gone"
Alex' Christmas Song
"Heart As Black As Night"
"Eyes Of The World"
(My initial attempts at harmony are terrible, but afterward we decided I would sing refrains as written while Alger harmonizes "above me." This works perfectly.)
"Rainy Night In Georgia'
Take 1
"Rainy Night In Georgia"
Take 2
(Alger really liked the groove of this rendition.)
"Rainy Night In Georgia"
Take 3
"Stand By Me"
Consecutive versions in C and D
