Cafe Announcements 📣 BOTM and or SOTM July August Sept

[Jeanette]

Hello all,

I am looking for volunteers to host July Aug or September recording threads.🤩

Anybody up for it?

@nigeld will help with dots and backing tracks if needed.

Don't worry about your choice of tune, some do well others not so but that's fine. It's more important that we keep the threads going each month.

Whilst it's nice if you post your own recording it's not a requirement to do so 😃

Please do support these threads, post below or pc me if you are willing to host.

I'm thinking if @eb424 isn't willing to do it himself, perhaps I could try doing Hello Dolly for August. Though before I commit, I must mention I have two known issues that I have yet to resolve.

Firstly, my score is based on my own transcription, which isn't entirely... uh.... "clean". I think I can refer to existing sheet music and try to clean up my score from there, but there's issue number two, which is I don't know the chords. I can probably copy them from someplace else like Chordify or Ultimate Guitar... but I cannot attest to their (and hence, my) accuracy.

If you need support with backing tracks and/or dots @nigeld is an absolute star and will assist.

Thank you for offering to host 🙂

I don't share sheet music or backing tracks. For me it's not clear if I can share a KV backing track or any other backing track? It's ok to record myself with KV backing track and upload the recording so others can hear. But I doubt it's ok to upload a backing for others to use?

It's not ok to share sheet music. My freind transcribed what Clarence Clemons played on Bruce Springsteen song "Rosalita". He hesitated if it was legal even if there was no trascribing done back then. So he described what he played in words instead of reading music.

Hi @thomsax thats kind of what I meant. I have my own version but its just notes.

Alright, so I cleaned up my score and got the chords from the song on Chordify. Would appreciate @nigeld (or anyone who's familiar with the song) to have a look-see to make sure nothing's wrong.

The file is here, in MuseScore 4 format.

Once this one is OK'ed, I should be able to do the rest (PDF scores, backing track using Band-in-a-Box).

@atwl77 - I have a RealBook version of Hello Dolly which is a bit different from yours. I will send you a private message and we can discuss.

Lead a thread and you can choose whatever you like. Shall I put you down for Sept 😀

 

[Ivan]

I have July 'Of The Month' ready... But with streaming of forum I am lost...

Where do I put it and is it BOTM or SOTM @Jeanette?

 

[Jeanette]

Choose members performance recordings and gigs.

Re sotm or botm whichever prefix you think most appropriate 😀

 

[Ivan]

I think I have done it correctly
