Dorchester 6/05/15

Hello folks in Blog land, is there anybody out there ?

T'was an eerily quiet evening in Dorchland, not many of us turned up. was it the bank holiday, or had everyone been blown to the land of Oz by those very strong winds? If they all return as Munchkins, we know it was the latter. 

Although low in number, the quality of sound was surprisingly lovely, the keen ones were in clearly.

Whilst Jack was fighting with the laptop, (naughty laptop!), Ed chatted about a few things happening this term, but he said we probably won't be working on any new songs for now. We shall be doing some 'fine tuning', and perfecting, no pressure ! 

A phantom voice boomed from the sound system, and everyone laughed nervously. We decided to leave the technology alone and get down to some singing.

First on the list, The Street Where You Live, well, if you are harmoniously inclined, there are some lovely ones on the second verse 'lilac tree ees' and the fourth verse 'stop and stare'.

Chiquitita, harmonies, sounding great, all views and opinions are my own of course!

Get Around getting there.

Dont Sleep In The Subway, great harmonies for the last two choruses, making us sound like a proper grown up choir!

Lean On Me, timing tricky on this one, Some.......times in our lives-----------for.......it wont be long etc etc, love this song though. I must also add, that Ed is adamant that we must not nod our way through this one, but I fear this is a big ask!

Breaking Up is hard to do received the comment, " Oh let just see what happens", then Ed started on about Bach, and sliding 5ths......see how far Dorchester have come! No people, I didn't understand him either.

Reach Out was next on the list, followed by Waterloo.

If you are coming to our Portland extravaganza on Friday, it starts at seven thirty and Ed will be there from just after six. If you get panicked about parking, there is Tesco as a last resort, and it is quite close to the church, they will be only too pleased to help the community, they're desperate since the German invasion.

See you soon ,Carole M x
