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.
