Beatles/Holiday Themed Party, June 2007
|
We played our friend Janine's party, which was both
holiday and Beatles themed, as she and her husband were
both being deployed (they're Marines) and were going to
miss the next bunch of holidays. We played 3 sets, heavy
on Beatles covers. Since it was also a costume party,
Maggie made the band Beatle shirts - gray with black trim
like the early Beatles suits for Set 1, and Sgt. Pepper
themed for Set 2. Incendentally, we did start Set 2 with
a cover of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Kazoos
were subtituted for an orchestra. And instead of going
into "A Little Help From My Friends" at the end, we went
into Ringo's "It Don't Come Easy". And we made our new
drummer sing it. In Set 3, Janine joined us for a cover of
"I Should Have Known Better", also featuring Rich on
Harmonica. She's the one in the Harry Potter Quidditch
costume. Please also note, that we are all wearing the
colors of the appropriate Beatle. Our bass player is
dressed in Paul's color, the drummer in Ringo's, lead
guitarist as George, and rhythm guitarist as John. :-)
