Gone, Gone, Gone

Rehearsals
We played through this on the fly at the Jesus Barn and it sounded not bad. Also a quick runthrough once with just guitars and drums. Rebekah and Andy took the vocals.

Personnel

 * Vocals: Andy & Rebekah
 * Andy would like to try his charango, but may revert to guitar
 * Lots of surdos, other parade percussion.

Needs

 * Horn parts
 * A worked-out percussion section (see below)

Core parts
This melody works almost perfectly with the bomba part in Conga de Comparsa:

That fifth surdo beat is an open beat -- the bomba, the beat the people in the parade listen for. It lines right up on "baby"! (I know, I'll get over it.)

Anyway, some choice parts from Conga de Comparsa (as always, there are lots of versions floating around; this is the one Iearned from Geoff):



We'll work on horn charts once this rhythm is in good shape.
