We are temporarily unable to access the library, so please print your own copy of the following from the rehearsal tracks folders:

And So It Goes (if we like this, I'll see what I can do about acquiring legit copies)

Tebe Poem (which many of you muight still have from September's romp through loads of new repertoire)

Thank you, and looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it!

Hello! The plan for this rehearsal is to sing through the following:

And So It Goes

Tebe Poem

We will also continue with Pick a Bale of Cotton, which we're learning by ear.

Rehearsal tracks are available on the website; the bit we have already done is "First Part" and the bit I want to do in this rehearsal is "Second Part", if you want to get ahead.

The plan for this rehearsal is below:

* finish Pick a Bale of Cotton by learning the last section (do listen to this online; the tracks are split into sections, but there is also a full version)

* perfect Tebe Poem, which is sounding gorgeous

* sing through And So It Goes

* aim to finish I Love My Love if we can do that as well

In this final rehearsal, we will run through:

And So It Goes

Tebe Poem

I Love My Love

Pick a Bale of Cotton

with a view to having these ready for a little informal showcasing at the get-together on July 11th.

Please check rehearsal tracks folders for updates. I Love My Love now has rehearsal tracks, and Pick a Bale of Cotton now has the pdf.
