I went to the coffee house yesterday. It was pretty average and most of the people playing were improvising, but the music kids at my school often improvise in four part harmony. There were several real songs and a few others such as "Hey Guys Come On," an adaptation of "Bui Doi" from the musical. By 'adaptation' I mean they repeated the phrase "Hey Guys Come On" instead of using the lyrics from "Bui Doi," and keeping the intense harmonies. Another notable moment was the spontaneous, eight person rendition of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," during which we died of laughter when Adam got carried away with the strange noises/screams in the background. Adam also recited a poem about David, my school's self-professed most eligible bachelor, while David sat in a chair beside him. Their composure was a thoroughly impressive feat.
Sadly, no accordions or bassoons were present this coffee house.
That said, I love my school.
Love,
