[quote author=8Muddypaws]Apache was great![/quote]
Glad you liked it. I can hear a couple of picked notes that are "different" from the original I recall by The Shadows. I've seen the soloist bend notes, but I don't know if that's what's going on in this case. He's brought a number of good instrumentals to the band. One that I found particularly tough to keep up with was
I Got A Spell On You; I and half the band finally squealed loud enough that the Director relented and used a small group to back the lead.
you can see who in the ensemble is having trouble with the rhythm

Aye, I could see that on Apache, although a couple of folks appear to be doing a "different" strum from others, which makes it appear that they're way off. If it was that far off, I'd have noticed and passed the word along. I've been known to call 'time out' during a performance, although usually only when someone is playing a different song or in a different key
If you look closely on Apache, I lost the beat a couple of times around 3:30, stopped, then came back in. I either lost count or concentration. This is a classic example of where singing would have kept me in sync, but I don't know any words for Apache ;D
I'm teaching a workshop this weekend
Sounds like a lot of fun, but not the chopped knuckle part.
