Music For Fun #1

Chris Ruhs, Josiah Meints, and I have formed an impromptu musical collaboration called The Covenant. We did this to perform at a program Chris's wife, Anna, has scheduled for her Young Adult (YA) group at the public library. Word on the street is that we're going to be playing electric guitars in the stacks...shhh.

Anyway, we had a productive practice session last night that I wanted to share. Its all a little rough, but enjoyable nonetheless. Here is the lineup:

• Me (Eric Tramel): Clarinet, Vocals
• Josiah: Guitar, Vocals
• Chris: Djembe, Vocals, and some Clarinet twiddling during warmup

These two selections, one I'm posing now and another I'm posting immediately after this, are our arrangement of the song Simon&Garfunkel popularized and you all know by heart: Scarborough Fair. After this is an improvisational jazz piece that is yet unnamed which we threw together. I hope you enjoy!
