Rendezvous Entertainment Options!!!

Post by GN YAKN » Mon Aug 23, 2010 12:58 pm

Tom asked me to work on some entertainment ideas for this year's Vous!

Here is what I propose.

First, during the dutch uben and Margaritaville events, we set up the PA for an open mic in the same vicinity. I'll keep the volume down where it is background music for the two main events.

We'll have a sign up sheet for several 10 - 15 minute slots. Would ask that performers bring their own instruments and be prepared with either some Buffet tunes, original tunes or maybe a reworked tune (remember Lord I was born a paddling man, to the tune of the Alman Bros Rambling Man?)

Second, after the evenin meal, raffle, silent auction, etc. I'm proposing an old-fashioned sing-a-long around the campfire! (In Okrahoma we refer to these as "scream alongs"!!) I'll compile suggested tunes and put together some handouts for lyrics for everyone so they can sing along. If we can get it together maybe we could put them on a powerpoint and display the lyrics on a screen. Croakie style!

Please pm me songs you would like to have sung and any chords or lyrics you might have for the tunes. I'm figuring Danger Boy will suggest some Chase tunes!

PS to the Friday night film fest organizers. If you need the PA for the films I would be happy to accomodate. I can run your sound out of a PC through the PA.

Alright we've got to liven up this thread! :D

Here's my entry for reworked song:

Cartwheels In A Rodeo Hole (to the tune of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, by Lucinda Williams)


Sittin in an eddie
Rockport at Malvern
Panic playing on the radio
Smell of homegrown, fishbait and diapers
Cartwheels in a rodeo hole

Pick that front end up
Throw it back down
Turn your head and shoulders
Come on now son, we're gonna go for three ends
Cartwheels in a rodeo hole

Cartwheels in a rodeo hole
Cartwheels in a rodeo hole

Look downstream here comes a big bass boat
Better get out of his way
When he hits the rocks
I'm gonna laugh my a** off :twisted:
Cartwheels in a rodeo hole

Cartwheels in a rodeo hole
Cartwheels in a rodeo hole

My All Time Favorite Campfire diddy!

I'm requesting Amos play all 20 some odd minutes of Alice's Restaurant Massacre with 4 part harmony! :mrgreen:

Oh, and wouldn't it be cool if we could get Sad Daddy to come out and busk a little....Cate the Rafter???

I'm requesting that Danger Boy blow his horn to the classic cajun tune, "When the Canoes Go Paddling In." :D

How about "when the rain comes pouring down" instead?
