We are doing a few Beatles songs as we found them fairly easy to learn, apart from the harmonies on Help which we have just got sorted now, we are also doing a rocked up version of Country Roads, and other songs such as Bad Moon Rising and It's my life. I also wrote a song so that we could have a bit of fun creating one if we got frustrated trying to learn any.
Yes that's what I thought, I'm hoping playing in front of people will give them a buzz also.
A couple of us have had a change around, my daughter who was learning guitar found it ok but a little complicated, I bought a keyboard and worked out the harmonica notes on it for "Love Me Do" by the Beatles as we don't have a harmonica player and it turned out she had been learning the keyboard at school, she decided to stick with the keyboard.
We had a lead vocalist but she couldn't remember the words, so my daughter who was learning the bass took over the lead vocals, it turns out she is a better singer anyway, just needed to build her confidence, her friend who is playing the tambourine in some songs and the cow bell in "Hard Days Night" is learning to play the guitar also.
The friend of my daughter who is playing the keyboard is taking over the bass as my other daughter finds it difficult to sing and play at the same time.
I will try and get someone to take a photo or two on Saturday if there is anywhere to upload them.
My wife hates me going to the music shop now, she said it started out as a bit of fun, but now we are more professional the the Rolling Stones with the amount of equipment that we've got (after purchasing a 12 channel mixer):)
Which is quite fitting as our last song of the set on Saturday is "The Last Time" by the Rolling Stones, that song could have more meaning than we thought, we'll get peoples opinion at the social after the gig and let you know :)
