You are here:
So, April 16th will be our first big fundraising gig. And when I say “gig”, I mean literally gig.
My mom is organizing a huge neighborhood yard sale. Besides us using this opportunity to sell off all of our stuff, we will try to raise money by doing two things:
Kerstin will be doing something she is really really good at: Bake cakes and trade those for donations.
I on the other hand will be buskin’ with my guitar and my cowboy hat. It might be slightly emberassing. Not because I can’t sing. And not because I can’t play the guitar very well or can’t remember any chords to save my life. It’s the fact that all aforementioned conditions are perfectly combined in the advertised “singing cowboy” that will make this a very interesting afternoon. At least for me.
In a desperate attempt to turn my weakness into a strength (or at least into something mildly entertaining), I will provide a computer with wireless internet and play ANY song that people can find on the internet for a donation of 5€ each – no matter how dumb the song is, no matter if I know the song or the language the song was written in. I will (make a very passionate attempt to) play it.
So – see you on April 16th, 10:00 – 16:00. Bring money. And earplugs.
If you know that you will be there and already have requests, post them in the comments section so that I can practice!

Wir werden nicht da sein können, aber es gibt ja Youtube :-)
Der Deal ist 10 Euro pro Song:
1. Blue Yodel Nr.1 T for Texas (Jimmy Rodgers)
2. Country Hereos (Hank Wiliams III)
3. Yodeling called Love (Montana Slim)
4.Tillsonburg (Stompin Tom Connors)
Deal?
Logo Deal - ich kenne keinen einzigen davon, aber das muss irgendwie gehen :-D
OK, die Annahme, dass sich 8 Leute individuell "Country Roads" wünschen, war wohl eher Wunschdenken .....
Rolf: schönen gruß von meinen nachbarn. sie würden dich gerne kennenlernen. :-D
3 von 4 hab ich - der yodelling love song wird schwer (find keine Noten)
John Prine _ Let's talk dirty in hawaian Tabs über e-tabs.org
und als Nr.5
Hank Williams - I'll never get out of this world alive
Lieben Gruß
Rolf
neulich habe ich noch zu einem freund gesagt, dass ich mit dem cowboy versuche, das fundraisingpotenzial bei zwei lagern von leuten zu aktivieren: bei denen die mich mögen und bei denen die noch eine rechnung mit mir offen haben...
mittlerweile ist klar, in welches lager DU gehörst! ;-D
aka waka nuka licka, waka waka nuka licka
Would you like a lei? eh?
Ich versuche nur Deinem Wunsch nach Herausforderung Rechnung zu tragen. :-)
Viel Glück und Erfolg!
Miltenberg, here in Miltenbeeeerg... ist der Erfolg der Aktion gestern bereits quantifizierbar (hab ich dieses Wort wirklich benutzt)?
So, Rolf.
5 Wünsche, 5 Links:
