David, Watermelon Man recording is from years ago (about 2015) when the band first started and that is the only recording I had of it. We can play it better when we get back together
Now this video matches our arrangement perfectly, apart from the final bars, where it just fades away, whereas ours has a proper finish. So just play it through and literally it's just the last couple of bars you have to do your own thing and deviate from the track. Apart from that the video follows our arrangement perfectly.
Night all.
My money's on deadlock and Nancy Pelosi get's sworn in as acting President ;-)
Thanks Carol, goodnight
A great rehearsal - thanks Jonathan for all your hard work . See you next week 😎😁
Thanks everyone, goodnight from me, Yumiko and Mark, take care and stay safe
Good night all
have a good week
I think we're safe with Wipeout. Thanks everyone and JB and 'see' you all next week. Be careful out there.
have a good week
Night Night
See you next week, everyone
OK. Goodnight everybody. See you next week
lets do it
Let's get the political debate started!
Or perhaps we should just finish with Wipeout... :)
Yes, lovely and laid back. Enjoyed that.
Nice
love it
Georgia was lovely - really relaxing
Does anyone in BBB REALLY want Trumpy to win? REALLY???
If we can get Carol and JC set up on opposing sides on this we could have a Belvoir Big Debate!
an be a vocal as well
What do we think - is America collectively going to be foolish enough to vote for another 4 years of the world's biggest idiot...
If Georgia turns blue then Trump's lost.
great track
Nice one
Oh, thanks Allan
Next up, something apt for this evening, Georgia On My Mind at 8.24 please https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZ2yYIqatU&list=PL2X-QeiyfnEbp-UQxsQ_qUSAqEHJDwmlM&index=20
Yep, first link didn't work for me so I refound it
I think that's the same version Allan
I'm sure it'll be good
It's a very old recording, if you listen carefully to the start it's not me conducting! :)

Watermelon seems too slow though!!

Allan let's learn to play it first then see what we can do... it would be nice to play around with it eventually, but early days!
Yes, good to practice with top Es ad Fs but might take it down a notch later. Terry will love it.
love this one
Something a bit different next, Music To Watch Girls By at 8.13 please
Are going to play it straight, or mess around like the Holts band does?
They'll cope, I'm sure. I have faith in them
It's a tricky one for the trumpets...
I hadnt played it before. I like it. I remember it from a 78 when I was just a kitten
Top F very squeaky
I thought it was shoe polish
apple pie and cream next
Cherry blossom is certainly a popular cake taste in japan
We appear to have hit a string of food related tunes :-)
And next up Cherry Pink by popular request, at 8.04 please https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLfyBywXmxI&list=PL2X-QeiyfnEbp-UQxsQ_qUSAqEHJDwmlM&index=14
And next up Watermelon Man at 7.53
OK
Yea!
I do when I play it live David, but this time I finished it with an extract from Nimrod
We can do Watermelon and Cherry Pink, let's start with Chili Pepper please at 7.46
Cherry Pink and 🍎 blossom white please 😁😁
