~Wedding Band Requests~
Dear Bandleader thank you for your letter. I really do think you have an
attitude problem and do want a few requests played if you don't mind.
What me and my wife were thinking was:
-Any Keith Jarrett composition from his solo series. Please arrange for
full ensemble and nothing in 4/4 please.
-Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dance of the Maya and please have the guitar
player play John Mcglaughlin's solo from the live performance Nov. 16,
1972 at Chrysler Arena. My wife and I were at that show and particularly
liked his
use of polyrhythmics. If you find it too difficult you can leave out the
feedback. Your choice.
-John Coltrane's duets with Pharaoh Sanders. I understand that their use
of atonality is not everyone's cup of tea, but my guests are usually
fond of| high register tenor saxes.
-We thought a little Stravinsky would be nice. We particularly like the
Rite of Spring. If you want to use the sheet music it's OK. My husband
likes it about 1/4 note = 93 beats per minute.
-Then for the candle lighting ceremony, please learn Frank Zappa's "The
Grand Wazoo". If you want to play it in the originally B flat, that
would
be OK. And yes, cousin Jeannie does want to sing the baritone sax solo.
Please don't say no, it would hurt her feelings so.
-Finally we have built our own musical instruments (It's kind of a hobby
with us) and we would appreciate if you would use our instruments. None
of them are based upon a 12 tone scale or on common harmonics, but our 5
year old son tells us it's not really that hard to transpose once you
understand
the physics.
We would be happy to pay each member an extra $25 for any inconvenience.
Thank you and don't be late!
Mr. and Mrs. Snovly
