Who wants to play 'live' on Fri Oct 4th?
That's a whole month to get a little video made..
Go on...
Who's brave enough?

If it`s a YT recording ,,i might be able too..theres no way i could play via some live link..and thats not for my benefit but yours :-*
So yeah.

So yeah.
Yes, YouTube recording is exactly what we're doing, it's not actually 'live', more a link to a recording of a live performance of 2 or 3 songs, a mini gig from your lounge :)
Shall I book you in then STC?

Absolutely Suzy, we're keeping it limited to 2 or 3 songs though, but you could put together edited highlights of a full gig.
-
Cool 8)
I'm wondering what section the open mic is in ??? ???
-
It's at the top of the bar :)
-
Hi CS its naturally in the bar but you've got to look above the topic bar if that makes any sense.
How the end of the Canadian summer BTW, its just started to turn autumnal this week.

Found it...thanks NC...we have had the most incredible summer ever and it's still really hot here in the middle of Sept....loving every minute of it...still in shorts ;D ;D ;D CS
-
Just a reminder, all being well, Monty will be posting his mini gig tomorrow.
In two weeks time we hope to be seeing Ramshackles.
Who wants the next slot, Oct 18th? It gives you a month to sort something.
-
if that slot is still open at October 18th, Mrs Db and i would want to have a go at it
we would like you to hear a four chord song of us played live in two versions, but both just piano and Mrs. DB singing live...(and need to think about the how to film it, because Mrs DB doesn't really like being filmed)
a simple song, yet we both think it is strong, but i would like to hear how Mrs Db's voice sounds and plays piano if i dont fuck it up with multiple effects ;D ;D ;D ;D
so the same song, two versions, completely different story telling, and somewhat different melodies, first version is in Dutch, but is the best version...i will add subtitles and you may agree, the lyricas are powerfull
second version is in English, made more romantic, and played by us on weddings
well i like first version, but can we have a slot with only two versions of one song...in this open mic section?
i think you all will like the Dutch version... ;D ;D no really ;D ;D ;D ::) :P :-[ ::) ::) ;D >:( >:( ::) :P :-[ >:( :( :( ;D :o :o :o :o :-X :-X :-X
come on guys, Dutch is a nice language ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
ok, edit, i promise you you will hear and see how Mrs DB can sing!!!!
and i think i might do a seriousfun or montydog inpersonation in between ;D ;D ;D
explaining the lyrics first , especially the Dutch ones
come on, can we have the open mic slot ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
It all sounds very nice but the big question is.......................... WILL YOU BE WEARING A HAT ????

She really doesn't want to be on film unedited (recognizable) and i really can't sing...and really i want out of this now :-[ :-[ :-[

Aw that's a shame DB,
I understand though, this is meant to be fun, if she isn't happy it's not worth the worrying.
I'd still love to hear those two songs though, maybe you could record them acoustically still, but make a DB video, all psychedelic and swirly, with the subtitles on the Dutch version..
It's up to you
-
DB Why would you just not film your faces? Film the guitar, or microphone or something instead?
-
I am happy to give this a go - November would be better for me or December :D

I'll swap mine for the earlier date if you like. I've already got them recorded so it would be no bother. That would give others a bit more time to fill the gaps.
