the halls are alive with...

Exams always prompt awesome things.

We had the jam session tonight that I've kinda always hoped for -- at peak we had two basses, two guitars (one electric, one acoustic), a keyboard, a trombone, a violin, and a bassoon (but usually just some subset of these). We did pretty well with Amazing Grace, Good Riddance (Green Day), Hallelujah, and Clocks (Coldplay), and pretty okay with Jumper (Third Eye Blind). We kinda murdered Wonderwall (Oasis) -- six chords, way more than we were ready for. :p And also did pretty awfully by Glycerin (Bush), largely because the folks who knew the words/melody and the folks playing chord progressions were disjunct groups, so I don't think we ever quite figured out how the two went together. But it was a ton of fun nevertheless -- I really hope we do it again before the summer...
