CONFIRMED Gig: Sunday, April 20th 5pm Servertime

[Ice Weasel]

Sure, I can do a chorus part on that.. no trouble.  I did finish the lyrics I wanted to do for our first number, "Bring Me Up, Buttercup". The re-imagining also has a back-up singing part, which... if push comes to shove can be omitted, but it would be great...   As for the multiple files, it's really easy to skip lines in Lyrical, I had thought to just have the one file, so the cues into and out of the backup parts don't get lost.  I set apart the "backup singer" lyrics in parenthesis... You'll see it below.

As for more than one "backup singer" ... remember that every person hitting the "go" button on Lyrical will issue a "/say" for that line... so three back-up singers would be like: 

Joe says: (~ ooooo! ~)

Gertrude says: (~ ooooo! ~)

Fred says: (~ ooooo! ~)

Might be a case where less is more... so the lead singer doesn't scroll off the chat window too quickly.

Here's the new Buttercup lyrics:

~ Why don't we play for you,

(~ play for you ~) 

~ Lords and Ladies,

~ So that you can dance

(~ you can dance ~)

~ and have some romance?

~ And we'll sing for you

(~ sing for you ~)

~ the words are true, sorta,

~ some will make you smile,

(~ make you smile ~)

~ it's all in our style.

~ We play tunes

(~ we play tunes ~)

~ to move your feet to, 

~ We'd like to thank you in advance!

~ We'll play a song,

(~ play a song ~)

~ sing along,

~ But, please, join the dance!

 

[0:45]

 

~ Just move your feet, to the notes and the beat,

~ If you want, just spin around

~ Join in a line, you can start in time

~ Fast or slow, just follow the sound

(~ Hey, hey, hey! ~) 

~ Lords and Ladies, take a chance

(~ Hey, hey, hey! ~) 

~ Join the party, join the dance!

(~ Hey, hey, hey! ~)

~ We will play, 

~ We will play anything for you!

~ Ooo-oo-ooo, 

(~ ooo-oo-ooo ~)

 

~ Why don't we play for you,

(~ play for you ~) 

~ Lords and Ladies,

~ So that you can dance

(~ you can dance ~)

~ and have some romance?

~ And we'll sing for you

(~ sing for you ~)

~ the words are true, sorta,

~ some will make you smile,

(~ make you smile ~)

~ it's all in our style.

~ We play tunes

(~ we play tunes ~)

~ to move your feet to, 

~ We'd like to thank you in advance!

~ We'll play a song,

(~ play a song ~)

~ sing along,

~ But, please, join the dance!

 

[1:47]

 

~ Don't stand around, looking down at the ground 

~ When you know that you want to move

~ Give up to the beat, let it move your feet

~ And soon you're in the groove!

(~ Hey, hey, hey! ~) 

~ Lords and Ladies, take a chance

(~ Hey, hey, hey! ~) 

~ Join the party, join the dance!

(~ Hey, hey, hey! ~)

~ We will play, 

~ We will play anything for you!

~ Ooo-oo-ooo, 

(~ ooo-oo-ooo ~)

 

[2:17]

[2:46]

 

(~ We thank you! ~)

~ We thank you for dancing

~ We hope you enjoy the show

~ We'll play more songs

(~ play more songs ~)

~ Some are long

~ Some fast, some slow..

It's actually the mumble server that belongs to the Knights of the White Lady kinship, but Lady Ashigaru has kindly gotten permission for us to use it for band activity. I will PM you the connection details.

We actually don't use voice chat for general communication among kin members and our friends in other kins ... here is a discussion we previously had on that topic.

[Ice Weasel]

I'd like to keep the announcing/intro's spare, making sure we have maximum music time.  Most of the following can proceed from one song to the next, I can announce over the top of the first few seconds of the new tune.

Hello, Greenfields!

We are the Remediators!

[Play/Sing Buttercup then Breezin]

Ah, "Beezin'" on a beautiful spring day!  What could be finer?

Rumor has it that this next tune is played sometimes under the Beacon Tower in Eoworth.

It's Raining Men!

[play Raining Men]

Sometimes "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love" can make you want to "Dance the Night Away".

Why not?

[play CrazyLittleThing and DanceTheNight]

Ah, Spring!  When young folk have one thing on their minds... Dancin'!

[play/sing LetsDanceAround then Rockin' Robin]

"Rockin' Robin"... sure sign of Spring!

Now, Let's continue the "Celebration"! We won't stop for any "Little April Showers"!

[play Celebration, then LilAprilShowers, then play/sing Roxanne... no breaks]

Thank you for the words, Rhovanael! And you're in fine voice, Radgallac!

Now, for the older folk... We present "The April Fools" and "Lollipops and Roses".

[play TheAprilFools, LollipopsRoses and Sugar Sugar]

That was a sweet set of tunes! "Sugar Sugar", indeed!

Spring weather is fickle... It can be "Hot N Cold" in the same day, and leave ye "Breathless"!

[play HotNCold and Breathless]

Finally, we thank the organizers for having us here, with a special hug for Fincin!

Our last number today.. which one should we play?

How about "The One That I Want"?

[play OneThatIWant]

 

[IF TIME IS UP/SHORT:]

Thank you!  

We've had fun, we hope you have too!

We are The Remediators!

[bow and exit stage]

 

---OR---

 

[IF WE HAVE TIME LEFT/ ENCORE:]

Thank you!  

We've had fun, we hope you have, too!

We'll leave you with one final tune...  

[start playing ]

"To Know Him is to Love Him"! 

We are The Remediators!

Goodnight!

[bow and exit stage]

Beezin is not a word .. spell checker? :)

Other than that, seems fine!

[Ehn Farad]

Looks great! Love it!

[Ice Weasel]

Well.. no, not a "word"... but Breezin' is the title of the piece, and the hanging apostrophe just shows the dropped "g".  Like "hangin' out" ...

Spell check will choke on a lot of titles of songs, and a lot of stuff in-game. 

I did just catch that I forgot the quotation marks around "It's Raining Men". I'll fix that

 

[Briallan]

Dude, read it again ....your introduction says BEEZIN not BREEZIN .. though yeah maybe spell checker wouldn't help in that case lol

[Ice Weasel]

DOH!!

I need a bigger font on the forums... 

Okay, fixed it in the actual file. LOL

[Ashigaru Trecalia]

KWL server should be fine. I should be able to remmeber to have Malvy contact me to make usage arrangements. I shouldn't have problems making separate dinnertime arrangements, but I'll let you know as soon as I find out if a complication will arise. (EDIT: Strike that, I doubt I'll need to make dinnertime plans, forgot that it was server time)

[Ice Weasel]

The Stage is in the Shire, North-East of Brockenborings at 27.2s, 67.0w

The actual stage is in a "T" shape, with the foot of the "T" at the audience. We want to be down in the foot so people can hear all the way back.

Remember, we want to meet up at least half an hour ahead, just to be ready. When we get called, it's pretty quick, up on stage and synced.

 

[Ehn Farad]

Please check out my post about the cloak for the festival. Does anyone object to this idea?

[Ice Weasel]

No objection. Great idea!

[Ice Weasel]

Be aware that there is no "swift stable" near the gig location. Brockenborings is the closest regular stable; it's just northeast of there, up the hill.

Route from Bree... Toss-up between just riding landscape via the Brandywine Bridge and then north, or Michel Delving Swift Stable, then Hobbiton slow horse then Brockenborings slow horse. 

Point is... if you think time may be an issue, you might want to take your character there to log out. Alts especially may feel the pain.

Raventrick has had to cancel due to Real Life events; Jebbob (Rho's alt) will be coming to provide Theorbo coverage. The Set List V2 in the dropbox reflects the changes. LINKED HERE 

I'll be watching here tonight and tomorrow, and will be in game more than not.

Thanks, all!

[Ehn Farad]

Thanks for a fantastic show, guys!!! xoxoxoxo
