Bluegrass Flash Mob

Well hotdog !! :cheers this could actually happen :medal

The original post was in the key of A. I like it better in the key of D.

all together now :cheers

Kind of a full circle moment for PBG .

They inspired so many to turn the page from listening to actually picking up an instrument and playing. :medal

Yes, air glockenspiel is probably my best air instrument that I pretend to play. Why can’t you twirl the baton and also shake your “shaker” at the same time? :slight_smile:

No…,gotta be in the key of G. That’s the happy key :slight_smile:

I LOVE Flashmobs!! Super fun idea and even better if executed… just say the time and the place. Maybe once the final line-up is announced, we can decide a place and set-break time. For those that don’t sing or play… Flashing is great… or how about Dancing!!

no…no.you were right. Flashing is better! :evil

:wave WooHoo! Sounds awesome! :lol :lol :lol

Now here’s a well executed Flash Mob:

Just made my morning…LOVE, LOVE this idea! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I do and I’m thinking about asking Sammy to help us kick it off. How bout the key of D? This is your vision, I am willing to help get it goin. Sounds like an epic moment for sure.Lets talk soon. :thumbsup

A tweener, tweener :lol :cheers :lol

Crooked still version for lyrics? Key of D? Just before the second tweener on Saturday? Feedback??

Thank you, Landshark et al., for keeping the momentum going while I neglected my proposal here. This is f-in’ exciting!

WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS, PEOPLE!!! We are SO going to do this!!!

Key of ‘D’ (G may be the happy key, but we’re going for more than happy on this, we’re going EPIC. Key of D)
I like going with the Crooked Still version - lyrics to a traditional tune like this are all over the place, so this is a great way to keep things uniform.

Before the 2nd tweener on Saturday. I love it. Sammy kicking it off…? Really? … that takes my breath away, quite frankly.

So, logistics… How many full rounds (2xA part,+2xBpart) will allow for a progressive build-up + full jam?
A cohesive end is important.
How many people & what instruments are IN so far?
1 fiddle (ME!!)
1 guitar (my hubby)

Let’s blow some minds.
Peace!
Erin

WE NEED ALL OF YOU TO HELP US PULL THIS OFF.
Doc Mike, Beth, Mark, Adam, Nathan, etc,etc,etc,. SAFETY and visual impact with large numbers!!! :medal

BAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhh all this sounds good to me! :clap :clap :clap :clap

E I have givin this some serious thought and study and I think it would be difficult to pull off, here is why.

In a crowd of 10,000 like TBF with no Mics the music would be lost and muddy with sooo many folks.

I think a Warner Jam like this would be off the charts :medal, are you in Warner? but in a crowd of 10,000 with no mics not so good.

Now maybe we could have Ferg play it on the speakers and we could all do some snappy dance moves all together to Angeline , but not quite the same vision for ya :lol
Maybe a Warner Flash Mob would be better. Saturday ? Folks that don’t sing or play can work on dance. Still would be lots of fun :flower

Feedback?

You make a good point, LS, even though it’s hard for me to shift gears on my dream

We’d probably need about 500 people who know the song down pat to pull it off in the festival. Maybe that can happen on the 5th annual or something.

How about the same thing in the volleyball court area where the Warner/TP line forms? Sat., an hour before the tarp run. If we can get 30 people to agree to show up & play AT the vb courts, plus spread the word to everyone within earshot to join in once we get rolling, I think we could successfully create a spectacle.

Camp is really where we’re gonna have the high concentration of instuments anyway. Plus, we eliminate the question of hauling our precious strings into & out of the fest grounds ‘inconspicuously’

I wanna shoot for a solid group of 20 on the forum, then talk it up like crazy at camp leading up to Sat.

Are you still in? Who’s still with me? :thumbsup

P.S.
Kazoo it. Do it.

OUTSTANDING!!!I will PM you later! Hippie Jerry had an outstanding idea as well!!! :cheers

LIKE YOUR STYLE!!! Fun :medal and all incluesive :medal :medal
