Notes/plans for "Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma"

Notes for "Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma" which Steve Bhaerman so kindly gave us permission to sing and print.
  • Get your copy from Elaine (or she may have sent in an email, too, but I can't find it so I might be wrong) at next rehearsal.
  • This will be for our auction item/evening with She Sings event on 9/28.
  • Practice with Jewelsong version if you have it
We will start on G.

Sequence just like Jewelsong: 
  • Chorus (all)
  • Verse 1 all, unison
  • "and"
  • Chorus (all)
  • Verse 2 Susan Ch solo
  • "ohhh"
  • Chorus (all)
  • Verse 3 Elaine solo
  • "ohhh"
  • Chorus (all)
  • Verse 4 Susan Cl solo
  • "moo"
  • Chorus (all)
  • Verse 5 Sara solo
  • "ahhh"
  • Chorus (all)
  • Verse 6 everyone - harmony
  • Chorus (different this time - see below)
For word/syllable in quotes after each verse - we can decide whether everyone wants to do that word each time. Jewelsong does it all together for some verses, only one person for other verses - we need to decide.

For doot-doots during chorus and during solos we will take care that doot-doots are not clashing with each other and that the harmonies are fleshed out and balanced. Be ready to modify your doot-doots if necessary and once we've worked out what each doot-doot line needs to be for them to work together we will each have to stick to our own doot-doot tune - no harmonizing on the fly.

Chorus works like this except for last time:
  • Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma
  • Doot-doots
  • Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma
  • Doot-doots
  • Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma
  • Doot-doots - end/resolve one note/doot earlier than the other 2 times

Last time of chorus no doot-doots. Straight thru the line three times, 3rd time is half-chanted, all on one note, i.e.:
  • Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma
  • Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma
  • Drive your Karma, Curb your Dogma (this time all on one note, very percussive)
  • woo/wow! or sim.

Optional WOO at the end - to be confirmed.
