Good grief - it has been almost a month since I last blogged. We have had a lot happening - including the removal from our house of all our computers and hard drives plus the video camera. But that is no excuse!!
We have movement on the Robert Burns Songs front in that we are doing a brand new version of "A Man's a Man". Christine has moved the verse into a minor key, revisting the major key for the chorus. It makes for a very edgy feel and really suits the lyrics. It will be interesting to see how the traditionalists respond to the slightly different tune and approach.
Burns himself was a great believer in trying new ideas and borrowing others' ideas when it came to lyrics and melodies, so we are following in his footsteps.
Watch this space for an excerpt of "A Man's a Man" once we have it down on "tape" - Christine is very excited about this new version and it will also translate very well live.
Tomorrow!!
