Sing the Beatles on Saturday October 17!
It is a ton of fun for folks. It all starts with Come Together. SET 1 is Abbey road which has that wonderful 2nd side medley culminating in THE END with its 9 solos WOO!!. SET 2 features our flautist Allison Bliss helping add to the psychedelic nature of the first 11 songs. Two fun HALLOWEEN songs then the last 4 are dance songs. If The Time Warp does not have you on your feet then I Saw Her Standing There or Twist n Shout will.
Some bring food for the potluck. There is seating in the kitchen if it is time to take a bit of a break. Also Halloween costumes are optional but encouraged. 7pm doors open, downbeat 730pm.
Enjoy
