Jeff
Smith (sop saxophone, flute); Debra Milne (vocals); Carrie McCullock (vocals,
guitar); Susan
Sanderson (vocals, guitar); Sheila Herrick (vocals); Ann Alexander (vocals).
Once
again we had a good friendly meeting this month, and those who came just to
listen seemed well pleased, especially the lady who won two shakey eggs as the
mystery prize in the raffle. I hope she
comes next time to play them, after she’s had time to practise!
Debra did a
lovely job of singing unaccompanied whilst snapping her fingers on Gee Baby, Never Ending Melody and more.
Carrie gave us some neat guitar to accompany her own songs and also a very
quirky song written by a Canadian singer, about when the Pagans and Christians
had a meal together. Jeff played Monk’s Jelly
Roll; Wave; Sheila treated us to a Latin carol among her songs and I did
the unaccompanied folk ballads, Geordie
and Brimbledon Fair. Susan, a newcomer, gave us a Joni Mitchell
song and also a very appropriate 1960’s protest song:
‘Last
night I had the strangest dream/ I’d ever dreamed before/ I dreamt that men had
all agreed/ to put an end to war.’
O
that it could come true.
Next
time we become Folk and Acoustic on
Thursday January 7th, but jazz players are very welcome as we won’t
switch off the sound system, I promise.
