SUMMER '08 MUSIC UPDATE

Hello Bo-Stin School Community!  
Summer is here and I'm sweatin', but not forgettin' about my young muses
If any of my blog entries confuses, don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing's gonna be alright
Especially since I might
Add some tunes over the break
I recorded our songs during class and tried to make
it sound like the show you saw
Yet when it's LIVE there's a sense of AWE
And the sound different than the classroom vibe
So, for current K-8 AND Music Tribe cuts
Check this blog now and then, 'no ifs ands or buts'*! 
* direct quote from soon-to-be-blogged Annarose version of Joni Mitchell's "Twisted"**
** actual jazz classic written by someone else:  extra credit if you name composer and add to this blog!

Greenland by the Music Tribe

Greenland is performed/recorded on Garage Band by Music Tribe:
Garnett.......Lead vocals, Bass xylophone
Cora...........Glockenspiel
Tristan.......Alto xylophone, glockenspiel
Owen.........Electric Guitar
Ryder.........Bass xylophone
I am thinking of our next song already which is another Ariana original combined, at this point anyway, with a version of Smoke on the Water. We don't use the words, just the riff.

Here's a definition of that last word for anyone wondering:

Riff: A relatively simple, catchy repeated phrase. May be played behind a soloist or as part of a head. Often in a bluesy style.
