Suggestions for future festivals

I think Rain Fest is a good idea for a fest.

With the caveat that rain shall not be used as a metaphor for tears!

For covers, how about a "Super Fresh Fest" or "It Was Just Released Fest" (there are probably better names), but the objective would be to cover a charting song that was released within the previous, say, 9 months from the beginning of the fest. That way when the festival ended, the oldest song on the jukebox could only be 1 year old.

Yes - but you'd record one backing track, and sing the entire top 100 :-)

Leslie Fest

Covers, maybe?

I've been experimenting with how to get a Leslie sound using the gear I already have.

I found this video:

The fest would be to do your best Leslie using pedals or plugins. It would be nice to try achieve the same sound as the original recording, but not a requirement.

Here's a list of potential songs, where

• "Badge" - Cream
• "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - The Beatles
• "Any Colour You Like" - Pink Floyd
• "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" - The Beatles
• "Something" - The Beatles
• "Breathe (In the Air)" - Pink Floyd
• "Undone – The Sweater Song" - Weezer
• "Alison" - Elvis Costello
• "Cortez the Killer" - Neil Young
• "Little Wing" - Jimi Hendrix
• "Ohio" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
• "Good Times Bad Times" - Led Zeppelin[/li)
