So Cal `09 Minicon Saturday Jan 24 Noon-6PM

Who
Hmm, last time, Kenny said that "Subsitute's becoming the `Louie Louie' of Power Pop",

If I remember correctly, it was the "Freebird" of Power pop .

Because.....honestly, "Louie Louie" is the "Louie Louie" of power pop- the original power pop tune.


-C



ps....here's what I'd reccomend:

Beatles- Tomorrow never knows (you said you wanted something with few key changes.....this one has none at all!)
If I needed Someone
Wait
Strawberry Fields (yes, I'm weird- I know....)

Who- Leaving Here (technically the High Numbers, an early cover if anyone's familiar)
Anyway Anyhow Anywhere

Pink Floyd - Arnold Layne
Interstellar Overdrive


Plus....some Smiths would be cool, but I shouldn't reccomend stuff I can't play myself- Marr being a genius and all...

[kennyhowes]

-Eight Miles High is probably not a good idea-who can do that solo?!

I can!

R.E.M. anyone?

No problem.

[doctorwho]

... Byrds "My Back Pages" if anyone can sing those complicated verses

I might be able to do that, although I normally only do the back-up vocals in the choruses.

Bump!

Quiet/low volume rehearsal with drums-brushes, cool rods (woo hoo!!) on Thursday and Friday at my place, in preparation for the Post NAMM GRaham Minicon jam. My long time friend and former band mate Paul Sakry will be hitting the skins with us for rehearsal. He's the drummer in the Untold Fables video I posted awhile back. PM me for address/directions to get to my place if you don't have them already. Meanwhile, let's all learn as many of these as we can. You Tube and the AZ chords website are quite helpful!!!

AZ Chords webiste: http://www.azchords.com/

Y'all are sufficiently computer literate to get to the bands you need to from there, eh?

As always, feel free to PM me with questions or concerns.

Cheers,

Paul

Kenny - that's cool ! So with you leading the way on Eight Miles High and with Gary singing My Back Pages, there's a few additional Byrds numbers for the list .

R.E.M. ---- Paul, Graham and I tried practicing Man on the Moon and made a stab at it last night.

I'm new to the forum. Hope you will play some seriously righteous Rick on Sat. Wish I could be there but I'm in Chi. Also hope somebody can play Petty's Listen to her Heart. Send some video.

AHEM!

Hmm, since no one's replied either way to my mention of a run though at my plce this week except Rich and Joey, anyone I hear saying "how does it go"? gets charged a buck...or has to go on the next beer run!

Seriously, Friday night at my place if you guys want to try this again, otherwise, I look forward to seeing you Saturday. Jerry, I hope you're not going to ask when and where again.

Ah, thanks for refreshing my memory; good point.

Hmmm, maybe I'll get you a copy of The Ultimate Smiths Fake It Book....right after I write it.

I took a look at the playlist. It's given me some good ideas. ( The Break Up Song!--Genius!) But I didn't see any later RM songs. How about some Back To Rio stuff? Someone to Love, Car Phone, If We Ever Meet Again? All good stuff that nobody but me and him play, I guess.

Yep; we're putting together a jam sesson list of songs that we all know, and there's a strong possiblility that most of us don't know those songs by RM.

[Janglyman]

Like your set list. How about some Back From Rio era McGuinn? Does anybody play that stuff besides RM? Have fun. Can't wait to hear the responses.

Nope, won't be playing any of that; we'll have enough trouble with the songs we already know.

The only song I've heard from that recording was "King of the Hill", which I thought was Tom Petty, not that there's anything worng with that, and IIRC, TP produced the recording and sang backing vocals.

Nah, it's going to be all the hits and cult favorites amongst the jammers. Still, if you want to fly out and jam with us, we'd probably play one or two of the numbers with you.

[s4001]

There's a few old REM tunes I may be able to dust off
Driver 8
Can't Get There from Here
Life & How to Live it
