WHAT WE'LL DO NEXT SUNDAY. THIS WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF MISCHIEF.

This is what I'd like to do next Sunday
Autumn Leaves in Gm (lets call it Bb maj), We'll do it in Dmaj (Bbm). This is part of our doing songs in unusual keys. Just 30 minutes on it.

Lets try out three things led by Dave's Guitar. The Use me riff for Lullaby of Birdland So What also the Superstition riff for Love for Sale. Dave can you just run through a mediaeval version of Greensleeves for us.
You are trying it out I know.

Geoff will try out something he has been working on (six or so songs, Geoff, ok?)
Can we also try out just one new song, Lover. BIAB file attached to email

CAN YOU FOLKS PLEASE PREPARE A PAD WITH THE FOLLOWING SONGS WHICH WE DID LAST YEAR. ADD NEW ONES AS WE GO.
We will select songs from this list for working on. Sometimes the key may have varied from the standard because of the vocal need. Add Autumn Leaves Gm please. We'll use it as a practice piece for more difficult key.

During the season we will select from these songs we have not done before. I have in mind building a song list from the 70's for the new jazz show next year.
I'll circulate them on BIAB files when I get them all. One or two we have done years ago. I've also got in mind some of these for vocals.

CHARTS FOR THE NEWCOMERS
We have a problem. We have three newcomers trying us out for the first time. Music sheets for them. Geoff has kindly arranged to have three copies of BIAB software for them. In a couple of weeks' time we'll have a 30 minute session about how to use BIAB.

We need charts for Eb and Bb instruments, and one is a Bb bari part. We probably have some music in the Bb and Eb boxes at present. If we select some other songs to do then, they can share existing charts.
I'll bring the charts for these.
Autumn leaves in Gm and Bbm
Lullaby of Birdland  Ab
Love for Sale Eb
Greensleeves F
Lover C
