I haven’t written for a while for the simple reason that there has been nothing to write about. Our curtailed September – May session season is well underway. We were scheduled to do a session in a city centre pub called Rehab on Sunday, 25th October, but we had to cancel due to the unavailability of key players.
Our session last Sunday, 8th November, was the best we have had since the session moved to Arhegono. The bar was more crowded and the two songs we played – Buffalo Gals and Pay Me My Money Down – went down very well. I had prepared little slips of paper with the choruses of both songs and distributed them in advance.
I’m not a big Springsteen fan, but I like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XmpMRCUaE and I’m amazed that a simple two-minute song can be extended to nearly eight minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiMYqDD9kXw
Our next session is scheduled for 13th December. We will keep the same playlist, but I will prepare a separate booklet with Christmas songs in English and Greek.
