The Last Waltz-The Band:
(robbie:)
We’re gonna try a song we never played before... uh, we put
Together kinda for the occasion. it’s called ’the last waltz.’
(rick:)
She stands on the banks of the mighty mississippi
Holding a lantern light
Waitin’ for a man who’s a riverboat gambler
He said he’d return tonight
(levon:)
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty mississippi
[unintelligible; doesn’t sound like loving] the whole night through
The riverboat gambler went off to make a killin’
And bring it on back to you
Evangeline, evangeline, curses the soul of the mississippi queen
That pulled her man away
(rick:)
Now, bayou sam from south lousianne
Had gamblin’ in his veins
And mama moo (? ? ) who loves only you
Why do ya cause her such pain?
(levon:)
She went to the top of hickory hill
Stand in the lightnin’ and thunder
Riverboat, it was sinkin? she watched that boat go under
Evangeline, evangeline, curses the soul of the mississippi queen
That pulled her man away
(robbie & richard:)
The last of november
Leaves on the ground
It’s hard to remember
What city, what town (what town)
So many roads
Mothered (? ) in stone
Surrounded by bones
It feels so alone
The last waltz, the last waltz
The last waltz with you
Don’t mean the last dance is over
The last waltz, the last waltz
The last waltz was through

Friends and Fellow Jammers,
Is anyone interested in occasional Friday jams from 3:00 to 6:00? We've held three jams in the last five or six weeks on Friday from 3:00 to 6:00. And we'll probably have more of them. They all worked out pretty well. But there are advantages to jamming early.
The advantages of meeting early on Friday are:
1) Not everyone who would like can make the later time.
2) You can be home to join your family for a wonderful dinner.
3) The whole night is still before you for drinking and carousing.
4) We can rent one of the large rooms for three hours at a total cost of just $38. (That's $19 per hour - the off peak hour rate - with a third hour thrown in free.)
It's a great deal. It's less than half the price ($87) that we've been paying to jam from 6:30 to 9:30.
Some of you lucky folks have the summer off. Some others work only half days on Friday. And hopefully a few others will be able to leave work an hour or two early. It might turn out that you can make the jams but would be, say, an hour late. This is no problem provided we have a band on hand to start with. For example, if you're a singer, and we have a few singers, there's no problem. Ditto for guitarists. So if you're interested, let me know, and let me know what time you'd expect to be there and I'll try to work something out.
I don't have any particular date in mind yet. First I'm just checking if anyone is interested. If so, figure we could start them up in early to mid July.
Rob
