Red Hat Society Private Party

Scoot and I were invited to play at a Red Hat Society cookout. This happened in Brunswick and we had two weeks to prepare music from the 60's and get down a few harmonies. The hardest part was meeting up for rehearsals and trying to sing lyrics that are phrased differently than they are written (let alone the stylistic points). In the end, we did an alright job and we kept an audience. They asked for faster songs but I took the 60's as a series of slow political love songs. Without a drummer it was hard to get the train going fast-- but we satisfied that with jazz. Overall, we liked it, we got tans, and we made a group of great people happy!
We smiled often because we were trying to read the audience for the next song. They wanted fast music.

The 60's theme was about peace-- now I get it!
