Mercer Ellington has stated that Juan Tizol conceived the melody to "Caravan" in 1936 as a result of his days studying music in Puerto Rico, where they couldn't afford much sheet music so the teacher would turn the music upside down after they had learned to play it right-side up. This "inversion" technique led to a modal sound throughout Tizol's work - wikipedia entry for "modal jazz"

So how many of us have actually booked then - can you add your name to the list? Sorry if I've missed you off, but I caught bubonic plague recently which has rather done for my brain.

And hopefully Mike Shipman and Denis Riggs will be calling in from their New Forest bases. (Mike??)

What about Harvey=Andrew? Simon can doubtless give him a prod.

Spoke to Marshcat=Stuart the other day and he is doubtful this year, being in the throes of moving house (he hopes). However, his regular playing partner Richard S. is apparently interested.

And I seem to remember that Chris=Steady Rollin' Man had booked or was going to book.

I have got better things to do with my weekend to be honest, but against my better judgement, I have booked myself in....

Yup.

Do you have some lovely video of dodgy jazz-doings and old ladies dancing?

Here we go!

Friday:
1400h meet & greet
1830h Dinner & lucky dip draw
2000h Play till midnight

Saturday
1000h PP quiz
1045h Coffee
1100h Workshop - Blueshome - Putting a song into a different tuning - examples from PT and  from participants (i.e. Richard + whoever we can rope in).
1200h Lucky dip rehearsals/lunch
1415h Scratchy workshop (subject TBA)
1530h Lucky dip rehearsals
1830h Dinner
2000h Lucky dip
2055h Brick presentation (if we can find it!)
2100h Play till midnight

For the morning workshop it will be great if others can demonstrate examples of songs they have re-arranged into tunings differing from the original. It's not meant to be a lesson, just an exchange of ideas.

Any other ideas/additions/changes please PM myself or Richard.

Hang on, there's surely some mistake here... banjo ... music-filled weekend...
Blueshome will be having one of his funny turns on reading that...  ;D

Clearly a typo - "just need to get the 4 & 5 string banjos unstrung..." I'll bring my banjo mute!
