IF YOU WANT TO PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO DO IT: 1 - WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP 2 - SOLO, DUET, TRIO, QUARTET ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
1 - WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP In the Second Hour of each Friday meeting, if you're a musician and want to play or sing Beatles tunes from their first era, here's all you have to do: 1 - Show up and bring your own instrument (it's not good to share someone else's harmonica, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums or other instrument) 2 - If it's electronic, bring a cord with a 1/4" mono plug for our PA system; if it's acoustic and you have a mic, bring the mic with a stand (and preferably an XLR plug for our soundboard)
4 - Make sure your Name and Email Address are on the Club's email roster so you'll receive a weekly list of the songs (scheduled) to be played at the upcoming meeting. 5 - To prepare (sometimes called "practice"), read over the score arrangements in the Hymnal. For additional guidance, check out the Beatles Lyrics in text and video at this link to refresh your memory, fingers and vocal chords, and get thee to the meeting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

2 - SOLO, DUET, TRIO, QUARTET Would you like to perform solo, duet, or in some other small-group format at a Beatlemaniacs Club meeting? The Club wants to encourage talent to present itself as the vocalist or instrumentalist would like. Your repertoire MUST be a Beatles "song," not necessarily composed by one of the Beatles, but may be the product of another composer and performed by the Beatles on a recording or at a concert (and verifiable). (For example, "Money," written by Barry Gordy and Janie Bradford as the 1959 hit single by Barrett Strong on the Tamla label.) If you want to make one of these special or individual performances, email Dr. Boogie, Jr. at the link below and tell him what and when. (We already know "why.") 5 - When you attend your first Club meeting, be sure to write your name and email address on the sign-up sheet so Winston can email you the song list in advance for each meeting. Or, click the email link below to send him your name and email. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
