Practice at Janice's 4/15

We got together at Janice's house for practice yesterday. Whooo HA!!! What an awesome porch! Janice can have us over anytime, if you ask me. Gorgeous weather and we even got a small audience of one adult, 2 kidlets and a small dog. We did have to compete with some of the environmental noise. Back hoes apparently beep in the key of F# or something...whatever it was, he was NOT in tune with us!

For The Ashgrove, we have decided to start out in the key of G with Joe beginning and Shelly coming in on the second repitition of the A part. The fiddles will come in on the B part, and on the second time through the singers will begin and sing two verses. As soon as that is done we will switch to the key of D. So it looks like this:

Key of G
A1 - Joe
A2 - Joe & Shelly
B1 - Joe, Shelly, Jane and Janice
B2 - Joe, Shelly, Jane and Janice
A1 - B2 - Everyone with singing
Key of D
A1 - B2 - Everyone, no singing

If Gabrielle comes, we can figure out how to add the harp. We are going to meet at our house (Neil & Elaine) on the 22nd from 4:00 - 6:00, and are talking about meeting on the Thursday before our gig for an additional practice since When in Doubt Swing is going on the weekend before...at least I think that's what we agreed on. I was very distracted by our beautiful surroundings.

If anyone remembers anything else that we agreed on, please feel free to chime in!

For those who are singing The Ashgrove, here is a link to the lyrics:
