My Carol has just walked into the kitchen, tea pot in hand and singing away

I get really confused about who plays what and when in When You're Smiling. I know we can sort it out when we get together again, though

So where is it Carol?

A cheerier number

Hope you all enjoyed 007 next up When You're Smiling | BBB VR - YouTube at 8:18

I hope there's no high tides

Nice place but very exoensive 😳

Next up James Bond | BBB VR - YouTube this a great number and we play it well at 8:12

Chris, Landed at Pisa on the way to Florence but didn't stop Went to Rome and attached

1. Inside the Colosseum Rome

so lets take up the second half with Autumn Leaves | BBB VR - YouTube

Guess where.....

Well that's one helluva place

Another from Uzbekistan

1. Samrkand Mosque. Uzbekistan

Looks like a gluwein festival

Yes. Absolutely fabulous. It was a freak year. There was snow on the ground and a frost in February and it should have been mild.

All tiles presumably

stunning buildings

2nd pic

wow Jon

Oh thats magic

I will get practising pretending that I have an egg in my mouth for those low Bs

Continuing with the photo theme, I fund a few from previous adventures.

1. Guri Emir mausoleum, Samarkand, Uzbekistan

2. Madrasah in Registan Square, Samarkand, Uzbekistan

at 8:05 it will be Autumn Leaves | BBB VR - YouTube another favorite

OK we are the half way stage its time for tea. So take a short break and we will resume at 8:05

Hello Neil

sounds idealic

Hi everyone! joining for the second half, now son's in bed - well in caravan bed - camping in the drive again!

Hi Neil

see you on the other side

OK Birdland

that is a good idea

Ak thats a good idea

ah OK LIz

I have tended to play it at three quarters speed

I agree more laid back

yes we can alter that as a band

I feel that it should be slower. Its as though she's rushing to get back into the warm. Blue skies......lazy....more laid back????

It has real flow that I enjoy playing

I always find it hard at the beginning because they come straight in without any counting - will be much better in person

next up Birdland | BBB VR - YouTube at 7.54 please, i really like this one

Vocal would be good

yes it is, it really swings, but it need the vocals to lift it, my opinion

Hopefully that will come together for all of us (me) when we play it together. It's a great tune

so when you ready lets go Blue Skies - Ljubljana Academy of Music Big Band - YouTube

The links are working so Phew !!!!!!

next Blue Skies - Ljubljana Academy of Music Big Band - YouTube at 7:47 its a new one which I think I ma going to sing

Very good. Keep going

Jolly good

Fine so far ...

trying to mix up the selection tonight so hope you are enjoying

right so Belvoir Big Band playing Spooky - YouTube next at 7:38

very cool Jon

He told me he was getting plastered!!!!

a pint was beckoning

that had crossed my mind

I expect they're all at the pub

Hi Carol and |Mike

Seems very quite tonight, but if you have just joined us welcome and its Chris N sitting in for JB who is up to his eyes in paint and wallpaper
