no encouragement needed......Richard Ruck wrote:Why not? This is probably getting in the way of some serious points here....Mrs C. wrote:New thread anyone ???

Or will we just be encouraging people to mis-spend their bribes??

I didn't get EMA in 6th form as I couldn't be bothered to fill in the form, it was far too confusing and brain taxing.
However I was working over 20 hours a week at the time anyway, so it wasn't really worth applying for an extra £40 [it was 40 when I could have applied] ; I always missed lessons on monday mornings as I'd spent the whole of Sunday night working on double money to pay my rent!
But at CH pupils might aswell apply, money for nothing...

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that ? Hawaiian noises ?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free
Cherish pity; lest you drive an angel from your door

I've been meaning to ask - just out of curiosity, what sort of set do you guys play? How long, what sort of numbers, etc.?
Just interested in case I hear of anyone looking for a jazz group........

We generally try to be as diverse as possible, Latin and Rocky numbers
balanced with standards and well known tunes from 'Kind of Blue' etc..
Some of our own compositions, but we try to play things we actually like playing, it helps!!!!
A simple set would be composed of Miles Davis/Herbie Hanock/John Coltrane tunes, a couple of Funkers and Latin Bossa's, then some more mellow standards.
Have made a few enquires about a possible jazz reunion gig at CH, waiting for some replies!!!!!
