Mimi joins us on the drums. Which I claimed were tablas in this report, and I was wrong then! Songs: "Jolly Butcher", "Chemical Worker's Song", "General Taylor", "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby".
Today, we were unfortunately sans Fred the US Navy Sailor and His Lovely and Talented Bodhran, but we were joined by another of the Murkworks denizens who came armed with a lovely voice and her tabla drums.
The results of this happy little jam session were that we did actually manage to make it all the way through "Jolly Butcher". And I more or less managed to play the bridge (a.k.a. "Salmon Tails Up the Water") on my piccolo, though I have to play it in Shine's upper octave and I'm here to tell ya that HIGH G ON THE PICCOLO IS A PAIN IN THE NECK. pant pant pant
Ahem. Er. Anyway, if any of you fine folks show up at the Showbox in Seattle on St. Paddy's Day, and the B'ys do "Jolly Butcher" and you see a crowd of people looking at one another muttering "Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, FISH," that'll be us. ;)
We also made some right purty harmony on "Chemical Worker's Song" and a bit of "General Taylor", though we have definitely determined that we require male voices on the bottom to round out the harmony. This is what we get for having five, count 'em, five female voices doing just about all of the singing.
Our alpha and beta singers then kicked into "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby", and they did, I might add, sound right lovely.
We have folks starting to fantasize about playing in front of Actual Listeners, so we'll have to see which ditty we wind up actually submitting to the Kitchen Tapes. Thus far, "Jolly Butcher" does seem to be in the lead!
The pie, this time, was cherry. On account of the local QFC didn't have any key lime.
