thewayneSome bands and I were jamming, I knew the bands but I didn't know the people who were hanging around dancing. No big deal, it's just that if I know the people, I can expect certain behaviors. And there was a person or two whose behavior was rude, it led to lag in the game. Eventually they either stopped what they were doing or left, I don't remember which and I really don't care as long as they stopped!
Anyway, earlier in the day I was looking for some Mozart to convert, I found it and I also found some DeBussy: Clair de Lune sounds really nice! But I also happened upon some Sousa, and I immediately looked for a copy of The Liberty Bell and found it.
Some of you may be more familiar with its most popular use, the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus.
The version that I found was for piano, in two parts, presumably left and right hand. Such two-part piano pieces frequently work quite well for lute. I immediately converted it, combining it to one part, and it sounded really good. I was just running my main minstrel at the time, Theabromine, and I joined the circle (we form up in a vague circle so you know it's your turn to play when the band on your right is done). When my turn came around, I fired up The Liberty Bell.
And people went nuts! It was so much fun!
Everybody started spouting one-liners from Monty Python: Dinsdale! That parrot wouldn't VOOM if you put five million volts through it! No, you came here for an argument! Sadly, no Spanish Inquisition lines.
And that went on throughout the entire five minute song.
I was so happy! And apparently, so were everyone else.
That's the only time that I'm going to play it until a week from Saturday, when I'm playing at a semi-private party, I want to maintain a surprise factor. I have a full-band version of the song that I haven't converted yet, I want to see if I can time it right so that it starts with the single lute, then at the first repeat, the entire band fires up. I think that'd be pretty awesome.

You’d be surprised how low a connection is viable. What you do is crank down your screen resolution to very low, there are other settings you can minimize and it can be doable.
