Da Da Da
(Trio)

Great song for three people. Some of us were sick. We'll grow again, hopefully not too big. Everything is still done through an iSight.

• Josh 1—brushes on laptop box and garbage can
  
• Andy—banjo, kazoo, and shaker

Session 39

One Minute of Silence
(Yoko Ono)

I’m out sick and Josh 1 has a funeral so we went real basic. There is a lot of great Yoko Ono songs out there, but this will have to do for now. See you next month.

Session 38

Mule Train
(Johnny Lange, Hy Heath, Fred Glickman)
mp3 (2.4 MB)

Picked this one this morning. We listened to two versions and went with the Tennessee Ernie Ford version. The usual group of thugs playing on this one.

• Andy—banjo
  
• Josh 1—brushes on laptop box
• Josh 2—recycle-bin bass

Session 37

Hey Dog!
(No clue)
mp3 (520 KB)

Real busy here, so it’s a short one. This was a old jingle for a car dealership that was on Telegraph Road. No one remembers the dealership name but we all remember the jingle. Our apologies to Josh 2 for standing him up and skiffling late AGAIN!

• Andy—banjo
  
• Josh 1—brushes on laptop box, and mixing bowl
• Geoff—computer key(wash)board
• Tyson—water bottle, whistle
  

Session 36

Angels We Have Heard on High
(Traditional)
mp3 (2.8 MB)

And here’s the yearly Christmas song. Normally old members return for this but my department here at work had a computer sale today and for the first time, our timing was thrown off. This also caused our members who don’t work in my department to miss it. We tested out this MoblePre USB audio box for the music lab today. We multi-track recorded in GarageBand today with real microphones and did not use our traditional iSight. Sounds pretty good (The recording not our playing).

• Andy—banjo, kazoo
  
• Josh 1—brushes on laptop box, and mixing bowl
• Geoff—recycle-bin bass
• Rebecca—bottle cap shaker
  
• Tyson—mandolin
  

Session 35

Light’s Out
(Angry Samoans)
mp3 (1.3 MB)

So the punk songs are fun, easy, and rowdy. I think we should do more of them. This one did require a few takes since most of the band was hearing it for the first time today.
Why did we only have five people? The others went to the Olive Garden. Yeah, the Olive Garden. Lame.

• Andy—banjo
  
• Josh 1—brushes on laptop box, garbage can, and mixing bowl
• Josh 2—recycle-bin bass
• Geoff—computer key(wash)board
• Jen—mandolin
