Seasonistas on-line get together / open mic

[YorkSteve]

Edit: Ok I do have a one hour limit, but I'll open a backup meeting so we can go to that one when it's over if you want

Voran - I have tried your zoom number 84623050826, but it is asking for a password

Sorry - no idea how to use zoom, as far as I knew I didn't require one...let me tweak my settings

Here is the old recording of the song I played today.
I hope to re-record it some day on my new channel with some multitrack and stuff, but this is how it was.

 

[YorkSteve]

Thanks to Lisa for stepping in with a working Zoom code, and to Voran for trying! Nine (or was it ten?) of us managed to keep up the meeting habit. Thanks also to Charldene for keeping us all in order!

 

[Voran]

Really sorry about all the messing around earlier - never hosted a zoom before and didn't realize there was all that farting around with codes and numbers involved

 

[UkeFoote]

Oh my such drama!! Sorry I missed the session as I had guests in from out town. I don’t plan on missing many sessions so I’m almost always available as a back up.

I’ll be back on next Saturday
Zoom meeting 622 972 7495
No password necessary

 

[Voran]

I feel bad for stressing people out, I had no idea hosting was so complicated compared to just joining someone else's meeting

 

[UkeFoote]

I wasn’t there, but here is what happened at the open mic on December 4:

[chris667]

Yes. I should also be back next Saturday. I have missed our sessions.

 

[Voran]

I'll try and get a Youtube of 'Rage' again today since someone wanted one. I've had a cold and my high notes are a bit shaky

Maggie and I have just been asked to babysit our grandson Mickey this weekend in Georgetown. We hate to give up a chance to see him. I'll take a uke and a banjer and my laptop, so I may get a chance to come here for a tune, but not likely.

This is the song I mentioned by the Cocteau Twins where the lyrics are taxonomic family names of moths. A link to the lyrics is below.

Yall, if I leave the room tonight or walk off camera and do calisthenics, please don't feel ignored or slighted. I have a very jacked up lower back.

Just mentioning in case people think I'm being rude or feel hurt

 

[Canada Jim]

This is the Oscar Brown Jr. Song we talked about today: SNAKE -Oscar Brown Jr.
This is an ex-president's take on it: T****'s SNAKE

And the song that Gas Huffer hoped I would do: Oscar Brown Jr - BUT I WAS COOL!

 

[Voran]

I feel bad for always singing rage songs. I'll write something happy for next week, I swear.
