White Ripple Community Band-- August 1st, 2016

Hi folks! This week we continued our study of verse and chorus (more Moose and Squirrel!) with two classic songs:

Song 1-- Another Saturday Night, by Sam Cooke. We got some good singing out of this one, with Cindy, Sherry, and Alan doing the verses and all of us coming in on the chorus.



Song 2-- Lay Down Sally by Eric Clapton. I agree with Rich when he said the title is the song. I like the third verse, but the other two are interchangeable for me, but then everything snaps into focus when we all belt out the chorus like we do.




Upcoming fun things--

White Ripple Community Band will be playing at the gallery's Second Saturday event on August 13th. Kathy Los-Rathburn is having a moving sale that day, and I'm going to miss having her watercolors to look at each month. I love the way Kathy mixes nature and industry-- she paints all facets of Chicago... and Indiana, for that matter.

Band 101 ice cream social is happening August 17th! Band 101 is our once-a-month version of what we do at the White Ripple Art Gallery, only not at the gallery, but at my house. This month the Band 101 price of admission is ice cream and/or ice cream accessories. I'll have non-dairy ice cream options (hooray for nut milk), and Rich and I will run through a set of songs we can perform at the Game/Jam/Potluck Night the following evening at the Hammond Innovation Center. Rhythm instruments are available to folks who don't have anything to play.

It's always a good time showing off what we did the night before. Hope you can make it!
