It has been a while, but we managed to have one practice session this May, and I basically became the defacto vocalist for almost all the songs we tried that afternoon. Thing is, I was unfamiliar with these songs - the lyrics, the singing styles - and I did not study them thoroughly because I did not know which song I would be doing. I guess the old addage that whatever we need to get ready with means we need to practice almost all the songs until we have a final playlist of who sings what... meantime, we need to practice as many as we can - think of it as making sure anyone can jump in on a moment's notice to handle the song in case the original singer can't (for whatever reason) make it at performance time.
So, what did we practice - Spooky, transitioning to Stormy. Then there's Marvin Gaye's What'd Going On transitioning to Merch Mercy Me. Rough on all of them as I need to familiarize myself with these songs... but we'll get there.
I tried placing videos but apparently they're too large in file size.
That said, some pictures will have to do. A poor replacement to be able to hear the raw works - but I guess that's for the better too. When things get smoother, and better, I'll try again.
