Anyways, I have commissioned by the churches to form a band/bands to perform Friday night and Saturday afternoon of Wild Cat Days for the entertainment of the crowds gathering at those times. We mostly be immediately in front of giant inflatable things for kids and about 50 yards from a beer gardens. Anyways, once we have finished forming a band or two, or different arrangements of a similar band with equal representation from the different churches, we will more specifically choose appropriate songs. I've called a meeting for all interested parties to meet on Sunday night to form the band/bands. I will now insert a picture to spice up the blog a bit-This is some people that will be involved in the band. It's a group of us that played some songs at Tara and Craig's wedding a few weeks ago.
Ok, back to the songs; We will do a few of the more fun and exciting church type songs mixed in with some other SECULAR (ooooooh!) songs, because this entertainment and not a church service and our goal is to do something nice for the town and people here. So, here is the feedback part of the blog: Tell me what songs we should or shouldn't do.
Here are some examples of songs we have thought of:
I wanted to do "Feel Good Inc." by the Gorillaz but our lack of any decent rappers would probably make it really lame (but who knows who might show up on Sunday night)
"Killing in the Name Of" by Rage Against the Machine would be fun to play, but it might be a bit too angry.
Some more likely possiblities could be maybe "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash, "On Call" by the Kings of Leon, or "Oh My Sweet Carolina" for all those Yanks working up here in the mines.
Let's here your ideas. (I know I don't deserve any feedback because I have not updated the blog enough to warrant any readers still visiting) I will wait patiently.

Play one of the old penthouse hits, like donde es fraise madre. I bet they would love it. ryan adams is always a good idea. also ccr are always good for those crowd pleasing songs. Or you could dig out some black rebel motorcycle club. There are probably lots of songs by delirious talk or whatever they are called that you could do.
Ah, yes Dave. Thankyou. However, I refuse to do Dande es Fraise Madre without you here.. so think about coming to Elkford earlier in the Canada Day Weekend. And, I think we will actually be doing some CCR (it's been mentioned). I will listen through some BRMC later today to see if anything strikes me. Now, I wish there was a site on the internet that I could go to to see what Old Davey MacGregor was up to these days....
All I will say is U2 and more Johnny Cash. Oh yah and more cow bell.

Thank you Barry. We will definitely follow your advice...all of it. Aaron bought a cowbell..I believe specifically to be prepared for this event.
Things not to play,
Marilyn Manson, Tool, Insane Clown Posse, Gwar, Bloodhound Gang, Rob Zombie, or Brittany Spears.
Ok, Got you, check. W have been picking out songs and are starting to practice. As the song list is more solidified and finalized, I will post it.
