Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning
Some repeat suggestions from last year, and a new one with two about things that would go into a real basement workshop and somethat, if proper choices were made and examples given, might inform a bit like song-oriented one ....



"Wood If We Could (or "They Came, They Sawed, They Conquered)"--Songs involving wood from the logging process to carving, fashioning tools and building with it. This one could be further divided up into splinter groups......


Or maybe just tools and implements in general, real or imagined,
the process of inventing them or them merely exisiting as speculation or dream of something we'd like to see built, or to build with.........


"Esprit de Corpse"-Songs dealing with cadavers, their movement, rowdy wakes, burial rites and maybe some "Unquiet Grave" and "Lowlands" type visitations or visits thrown in and Rosin the Beau/Ye Mariner's All" mere death wishes, to boot......


"Settlements to Towns to Cities"--Songs illustrating all of them, the reasons for them being, the transition from one to another and emphasizing how traditions get lost, founded or preserved on the way and how a country gets built up from scratch. Where things went or are going right and wrong. Boom Towns, Ghost towns and places that somehow still feel like home.



Just some 40% Brain Flakes of the top of my head. Use them, twist them to your own specifications or forget them as you so choose They're just fun to imagine. Throw them against the wall and see if anything sticks. Throw out what stinks.....
