Ok, so that was a fun show. It's airing/aired tonight, but I'm still looking on where to find clips online.


NEXT UP-

Anne Marie's sister Theresa and I will be playing Irish folk music Saturday, March 10th at 1:00pm at the Lower Mills branch of the Boston Public Library.


Time to remember the songs I drank away from last year.

Unfortunately, it looks like I may not be playing at The Auld Sod on St. Patrick's Day as a result of the owner not getting a hold of Eamonn the squeezebox player.

[El Twid]

Whoo. Ok, just as a heads up I might not post much this week. I'm including some songs that I didn't last week and they're taking some figuring out.

It's around this time that I realize that old songs often have the same melody but not the same chord progressions and I have to figure out which simultaneously works best for both my hands and my larynx.

[El Twid]

Oddly enough, the song I foresee myself fucking up on is the The Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy- the only song in the set that is rock and not Irish folk (unless you want to count Whiskey In The Jar, which was a folk song before Thin Lizzy, Metallica and the Grateful Dead did it). It's an interesting difference- rock songs I have to memorize, but Irish folk songs I can get away with just having lead sheets as long as I know the vocal melody.

[El Twid]

Also, for Boys Are Back In Town, I'm making this lyrical adaption:

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Eris Bar and Grill

(original lyric is Dino's Bar and Grill)

[El Twid]

Ok, clips.

I'm going to use some of these to get more Irish gigs with this violinist, so let me know what you think. You also get to hear my speaking voice. I apologize for some of the weird guitar sounds. I have a shitty capo and a 12 string acoustic.

Guess i should stick to rock/metal. Or hang it up. Or something.

Anyway friday the 11th daniel ouellette will be playing in plymouth. This gig will feature anne marie of anarchangel on backing vocals deirdre (villager) of anarchangel on bass and kevin (twid) of anarchangel on guitar making this the first time that a majority of anarchangel has perfromed on stage with someone else at the same time. Buttons will not be playing drums and pat will not be playing guitar for reasons i dont know.

Also at this point any gigs i have should be understood as daniel ouellette shows until late july.

Even more important than that is what hirley means.

Pfft. We'll see what me brother in the army has to say about that. I think he's stationed in Cork or in Killarney.

Wait... I have a brother? Fuck! No one told me!

I liked them all, and I'm happy to hear that you picked the correct version of the lyrics for "Whiskey in the Jar".

Those lyrics are my favorite version. Screw Thin Lizzy for messing it up and misleading Metallica. 

[El Twid]

Well, it's official now, I have a solo project.

I have an acoustic gig in Salem on August 16. The original intent was to play Irish music. Now, I'm still going to do that, but I'm going to mix them up with some originals and some covers. Exactly how the percentages will work out aren't clear to me yet. I might do an Anarchangel song, some stuff that's been on the back burner for a while and needs dusting off, and some interesting covers. I think I'm going to cover this song if I can learn it in time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lLi1pa4FUw

or some other song by them. I guess that's part of it- I want to cover a couple of songs that are maybe not as well known. Obviously I should do one or two that are well known so people can sing along if they want to or not.

So I'll take suggestions for any of the categories, or maybe some advice that would interest you enough in one guy and his guitar to follow him around a bit and try and keep up to date with what he's doing.

This is a very amorphous side project. I don't exactly know what my focus is going to be, I just want to keep the punters interested.

Hell, I don't even know what to call it. It's not like my name exactly rolls off the tongue.
