It's like this: the middle show of the three was a bit non-descript, but there are a few interesting items of note. For the announcement of the wedding party, we played The Who's Who Are You, which is one of those tunes that doesn't get called too often. The groom was very specific about what he wanted to hear, with an emphasis on the intro, verses, choruses, and especially the quiet part where the drums lay out leading into the triumphant power chords. It was instrumental except for the chorus parts. Sounded decent, with Anton covering the intro synth part. We actually had a rehearsal to work out the arrangement. Another tune we ran through was the vintage Prince funk of I Want 2 B Your Lover (I don't think he wrote his words like that back then, but it felt right to do in 2013). I had to review the vamp at the end - it's always something. Also played The Fugees version of Killing Me Softly, which I learned is played a half-step down from the Roberta Flack original. I also learned that it is easy to mess up my place in the tune. Just remember that the chorus begins on Em and that the verse begins on Am! It begins and ends with the chorus, although the bass doesn't come in until the first verse and it just hits the roots... "One time..."
