Announcements: Quintet, 3/14/06 (+ Bonus Audio)
The "original" quintet is back for another hit at the House of Shields. Stop by and soak up some culture, without even having to make a generous pledge or end up on a government watch list!And as a bonus for those who might've missed it the first time around, here's a sample from last Tuesday, followed by a fascinating interaction with a "fan" who really wants to hear When the Saints Go Marching In, and seems to think that insulting the band is the best way to make it happen.You just don't get this level of service from ordinary bands!
- Cherokee (Noble) The old warhorse burner was the last tune of the evening, so it's fast and loose.
- Can you play 'When the Saints'?, featuring the vocal talents of Ian Carey, Evan Francis, a fan who proves that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and the background chorus of the patrons of the House of Shields.
