986.0. "Irish Concert at ZKO" by HILL16::BURNS (Sound Ballyvaughan) Wed Jan 08 1992 07:31

    	
Subj:	Anybody interested in a grand St. Patrick's Day Concert?

    And now to lighten your post-holiday depression, an invitation to
    one and all to join in rehearsing and performing a 
    
                     GRAND SAINT PATRICK'S 
                          DAY CONCERT
		   Wednesday, March 18, 1992
		           noontime
			     ZKO

    You may remember last year's concert performed by the New England
    Chowder Society and Ce�l� Marching Band? You have an opportunity
    here to surpass even the insurpassable!

    Please let us know if you are interested in:
	- singing
	- instrumentals*
		- minimally need
				guitar
				fiddle
				whistle
		- would like
				bodhran
				bass
                                Irish harp
    				hammered dulcimer
                                ???

    *We'll use the Fiddler's Fakebook as the primary book for
    instrumentals. But don't worry, you don't need to own it.


    Not only do we need your instruments and your fine Irish tenors,
    we also want to hear what you'd like to sing. If you've always
    wanted to sing Cruiskeen Lawn or the Croppy Boy, let us know. 
    We will try to accomodate as much as possible, but no guarantees.
    So far, the musical selection is (not set in stone,  blarney or
    otherwise):

    For different lead voices, group chorus:
    ------------------------------------	
    Tim Finnegan's Wake 	
    The Ramblin' Rover 

    For possible solo, small group:
    ---------------------------------------
    If I was a Blackbird 
    Take Her in Your Arms 
				
    For instrumentals:
    ----------------------
    Staten Island
    Temperance Reel 

               ***PLEASE LET US KNOW BY JANUARY 17th!***

    Going by our experience last year, two months' rehearsal once a
    week and twice a week toward the concert date will set us up
    nicely. Send mail to Therry Neilsen-Steinhardt at BOOKIE::NEILSEN
    or to Terry O'Loughlin at KOALA::OLOUGHLIN.

    Well I've always been impressed with Joe Drotter's own version of
    "If I was a Blackbird".  And Paddy Culbert get out your bodhran
    for that solo in Madr�n R�a.

    Thanks for posting the announcement, keVin.  I guess we'll just have to
    struggle along without YE-3.  Shouldn't be too hard :-)
    
    If any one is interested, please let me know.  Also, if there's enough
    interest, we may play at MKO as well.
