CALLING ALL MUSICIANS
Yes my friends... it is time.
I am seeking to put together a small band from among my friends with as many Philemon alumni/students as possible though others are welcome. Our purpose at the moment is to learn and play exactly one song at a concert next April/May. Yes I'm starting a little early but I'd like to find these people and then get a copy of the song so they've got a long time to learn it. Also I intend, at the least, to get us some Blues Brothers outfits and possibly even reenact a skit so if you like the Blues Brothers and can play an instrument, this is for you. And even if you don't like the Blues Brothers or have never heard of them, come on down anyways. It's only a suit, tie and pants.
Seeking...
Drummer
Bassist (upright acoustic preferably - CHRISSIE THIS MEANS YOU!)
Electric Guitarist
Trumpetist or two
Trombonist or two would be welcome
Baritone saxophonist would be welcome
Tenor saxophonist would be welcome
David Irving will play keyboard for us
Robert Turnbull will play alto saxophone for us
The song we shall be playing is the Green Onions song - I've got a copy for anybody who hasn't heard it, just drop me a line over the net and I'll send it to ya and if you're interested, I will obtain sheet music for all the parts needed - and I'm sure that Dave will, as usual, lend us the instruments. He'll be running the instruments side, giving us a place to rehearse and getting us into the concert but beyond that I'm in charge. So those of you who have a bit of an aversion to Dave's way of doing things... don't worry.
In any case, e-mail me at darkelfpoet@hotmail.com or drop me a line on MSN or give me a ring if you have my number - I NEED PEOPLE!
Thanks y'all
