[MarignyBywater] Fwd: SING FOR THE DRIVE -IN -Evitable!

[SCADNOLA]

> Hi Folks.
> This request is very last minute, but VERY sincere.
> I need singers---YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GOOD (but I know you all are)-- 
> for a video I want to
> project onto the train(s) at St. Claude and Press Streets.
> The project is called THE DRIVE IN EVITABLE and the idea for a 1st  
> screening is to entertain or at least distract folks who are trapped  
> waiting for those darn trains.  We know who we are. I'm asking you  
> all to pick a favorite song about trains or about waiting or about  
> frustration and to stop by the Truck Farm either this Monday (20th)  
> or Tuesday (21st) night to give it a karaoke-style go.  I'll have  
> lyrics and the song itself to sing along to, but am not quite savvy  
> enough to have a karaoke machine with lyrical prompts...but we will  
> work it out.  I will be filming these takes (as privately as you  
> need me to) and will edit them into a big sweeping cosmic karaoke  
> loop for the DRIVE IN EVITABLE!  There will be popcorn and sodas,  
> sounds and lights, and the randomness of the train whistles combined  
> with our singing and the sounds of St. Claude at night.
> You know you want to.
>
> The songs below are a big brainstorm and feel encouraged to select  
> from them, but if you have another
> song in mind....there are, literally, billions...please email me and  
> i'll prepare the lyrics and download the song.
>
> Monday and/or Tuesday nights come by anytime after 7 and I'll be  
> screening Mystery Train, Planes Trains and Automobiles, North by  
> Northwest, and The Darjeeling Limited for your amusement while  
> everyone takes a turn singing......I'll have some beers and iced  
> tea.....
>
> This project will PROJECT on Friday, April 24th from 8pm onwards,  
> onto any train that comes our way.
> Please invite ANYONE who might be interested...
> This will happen again, if you are unable to cram it last minute  
> style into your already crazy
> Jazzfest/Chazfest schedules.....
> Thanks and hope to see you.
