tysolna | Band Update

A few things are happening in the world of our little Folk Rock band. Little in this case is 166cm, and goes by the name of Neringa. She's our new second singer. Great voice, great fun, good understanding of music. I don't know her age, but I'd guess she's in her early 20s, which makes her the youngest in the band.

All of a sudden, things are moving fast. Last week and tonight, we've locked down three new songs and rearranged one other for Neringa's voice. She will be singing "What shall a young lassie" from now on, which is good because it's really a woman's song. New songs are "Three Lions" - yes, the Lightning Seeds song, yes, with the English lyrics. Then, a version of "I know my love", presumably done similar to a Corrs version which I don't know, but it's got a rhythm like a steel drum should be playing it. And we've finally found a way to play "Whiskey in the Jar" in a way which owes nothing to Thin Lizzy or any other prior version - the way we play it, I can only describe it as Hip Hop Folk. Yo!
I'm absolutely sure there was a fourth new song, but it's vanished from my memory. I hope it will return in time for Friday, which is when we'll have vocal rehearsal. Unless the singer has to work.

I don't think the guitarist really understood what I was asking him after the rehearsal. One thing I noticed, though - we play the intro to "Young Lassie" together, and as soon as our eyes meet, he makes mistakes. Do I make him nervous? Hmmm... ;)
(On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't be talking because the same situation makes me blush. Dang but I think I do have a crush after all.)
