Terri, I have made copies of Beer Barrel Polka (John's accordion
should do nicely on this one); Spanish Eyes ( the rhythm instruments
I am bringing should do nicely, like the maracas, clavas(sticks),
bongos, tamborine); Silent Night; Jingle Bells; Star Wars theme; and
the Beach Boys' Koko Mo. We don't have to do all 6 songs, but some of
them should work out for us. Also, your dad said he has Ha Va Na Gila
(SP??) which could balance Silent Night. Everyone should bring a few
songs they want to have us try.
Also, since some people want to sing, it would be great to have the
lyrics on some of the songs. I have lyrics for 3 of the above songs
Spanish Eyes, Silent Night, and Jingle Bells. If your Dad has a
microphone and sound system, the vocals could be heard above the
music. Also, if your Dad or Bruce have a drum ( a snare and bass drum
would be fine, a hi and low tom would be even better). If not, the
Keyboard I am bringing has electric drum beats for any rhythm (waltz,
polka, fox trot, etc....) I'll bring the sheet music and copies for
the Dec PAS meeting to hand out to those who want to practice. Take
care, Sam

Subject: [pasmembers] Music for Dec 22 Jam at Mike's
Good morning Jam attendees,
We need to discuss the music we want to play at
the Jam on Dec 22.
My dad would like to make the copies and hand them out
at the Dec PAS Meeting so that we have a couple
weeks to review, practice, play the songs before
showing up to the Jam unprepared.
Therefore, we'd like to start a list of suggested songs.
I'd say we should have at least 10 songs picked out.
And we were thinking of providing, for use, not for keeps,
the Music Jam Tune book that Bruce, Ed and I use
with our students. It's all simple songs and there are
a few in there that can be used as sing a-longs, like
When the Saints come marching in, Bingo, things like
that that are only about 5 notes in the melody and easy.
So, start discussing what songs we want to play
so we can prepare ourselves.
Send the list my way. Make suggestions, and if we can
find the music for them, we can do it. We also want to
try to keep everything in the key of C or other easy keys.
no keys with 4+ sharps or flats, if we can do it.
Have a super Saturday!
Terri
