My apologies for sending yet another email, we’ve had some feedback that the instructions were unclear so we rewrote them:
Rally around ‘79 Family!
We
are inviting all of you who want to sing or play an instrument to be
part of our Class of ‘79 Virtual Reunion Reggae Band. Join with us in
putting together a ‘79 family rendition of Bob Marley’s Three Little
Birds, released on the Exodus album in 1977, and later re-released on
Legends.
Whether
you are an amateur, a professional or just looking to have fun, take a
few minutes to add your unique sound to a timely message that is also a
familiar blast from our past. It is really easy:
| • | Play the Little Birds Tune and decide if you are going to play an instrument, sing or just bop to the groove |
| • | Record
yourself! Don’t worry, you get multiple takes. One method is to play
the Little Birds Tune on a laptop or other devise – be sure to start
your cell video at the beginning so it catches the clicks on the track.
Keep your recording running after the click tracks. Plug your headset to
the laptop or use ear buds so that the sound goes only to your ears.
This way, what you record on the video is just your voice or instrument
playing along with the sound in your headset. The opening few clicks are
important for Mimi as she will use that sound to sync the video/audio
to all the other videos being sent in. |
| • | We’d like to get all videos by May 20 so we can share for Reunions---let us know if you have questions! |
By
the way, I brought my horn down from the attic and am practicing and
recording. It’s really fun and actually simple to record.
You
can also send Mimi a short video of yourself looking happy – we want
lots of smiles on the video and your classmates want to see you. Don’t
be shy!
Video yourself or grab a classmate or two—please join and be part of this Reunion event! Questions? Email Mimi at music.mimi@gmail.com.
