Vets - Ed, Chris
A light turnout didn't stop the music.
Ed shared a cake from his Birthday Party last week. Thanks Ed and Happy Birthday! We decided to do an 'in the round' today with just 3 of us making music. Ed started with When I Go written by Dave Carter and Tracy Grammar. This song has some interesting chords. D5 and Fsus2. We listened to a recording on Ed's phone to get the hang of it. Took a minute to figure out the chord changes. Will have to try this one again.
Chris played Dust in the Wind by Kansas. Some fingerpicking and lots of sus and add chords. This was a good challenge. Not just the guitar parts but the singing. Not an easy choice. Ed and Chris discussed playing this one as a duo at an upcoming performance in the future. I look forward to this. They have a good start.
Sean played Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers. A practically impossible song to pull off. But was fun to give it a try. Not much guitar, mostly reaching for the right timing and soul to make it work. He also shared a song he wrote recently called Only One. “I had two ideas that seemed to work together so I mashed them up and made a song.,” Sean said.
Was a good time with the small group.
Jason and Rob from the shop came by and shared some birthday cake. A special thanks to Jason and Rob that always help out (printing songs, making copies) helping out any way they can. We have a great community at Artichoke.
