Ever wonder how a band gets off the ground? From rehearsing in my living room--Texas garages are prohibitively hot--to low-budget gigs to weddings where the sky is the limit. This is the story of The Original Recipe Band told from the point of view of the arranger and instigator-in-chief.

Can't write charts? Buy them!

In the chaos of home improvement I have been unable for over a week to write charts, because my Finale computer is sitting mute and unplugged on the dining room table, which is in the living room. So last night I cast my net and found two charts that I need (Shining Star and Soul Vaccination) for thirty bucks, delivered by email. You bet I bought them,

The charts were written for a band in Columbus, Ohio called the Hoo Doo Soul Band. Here they are playing Soul Vaccination, one of the great Tower of Power almost-hits: http://www.chrisyoungmusic.com/files/Soul_Vaccination.mp3.

How 'bout that bari part?
