DucKon 2009 set list.

As has become the tradition around here, I present the set list for my latest concert. Complete with annotation and lyric links. Because I'm kind like that.

The DucKon set list, with arrangement notes, was as follows:

1. "I Am." (Seanan, lead vocals; Tony Fabris, guitar.)
2. "Counting Crows." (Seanan, lead vocals; Michelle 'Vixy' Dockrey, backing vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy McNally, electric fiddle.)
3. "Fox Hunt." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, backing vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, acoustic fiddle.)
4. "Mama Said." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, backing vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, acoustic fiddle.)
5. "Take Advantage (of Me)." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, backing vocals; Tony, guitar.)
6. "In This Sea." (Seanan, Vixy, lead vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, fiddle.)
7. "Oh, Michelle." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, backing vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, fiddle; Brooke Lunderville, BANJO!)
8. "What A Woman's For." (Seanan, Vixy, Amy, lead vocals; Tony, guitar.)
9. "The Black Death." (Seanan, epidemiology; Vixy, Amy, lab assistants; Tony, guitar.)
10. "Dear Gina." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, backing vocals; Tony, guitar.)
11. "Carnival Glass." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, backing vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, fiddle.)
12. "Evil Laugh." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, Amy, primordial ooohs; Tony, guitar; Brooke, banjo.)
13. "Tanglewood Tree." (Seanan, Vixy, lead vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, fiddle.)
14. "Sycamore Tree." (Seanan, Vixy, Tony, lead vocals; Tony, guitar.)
15. "Wicked Girls." (Seanan, Vixy, lead vocals; SJ Tucker, backing vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, acoustic fiddle; SJ Tucker, djembe.)

Fortunately, we'd prepared an encore. So I also give you...

16. "Still Catch the Tide." (Seanan, lead vocals; Vixy, backing vocals; Tony, guitar; Amy, acoustic fiddle; SJ Tucker, djembe.)

Almost all arrangements were done in that bizarre, organic, 'how does this sound?' sort of way, but it's important to note that the chords for "I Am," "Counting Crows," "Fox Hunt," "Mama Said," "Take Advantage," "Oh, Michelle," "The Black Death" and "Dear Gina" were originally worked out by Paul Kwinn, before being tinkered with by Tony Fabris and Jeff Bohnhoff (depending on the song). "In This Sea" and "Wicked Girls" were chorded by Kristoph Klover. "Evil Laugh" was chorded by Tony Fabris.

"Tanglewood Tree" was written by Dave Carter. "Still Catch the Tide" was written by Talis Kimberley.

As always: "I Am" is on Pretty Little Dead Girl. "Take Advantage (of Me)," "In This Sea," "Evil Laugh," and "Still Catch the Tide" are on Stars Fall Home. "Sycamore Tree" is on Stars Fall Home (studio) and Pretty Little Dead Girl (live). "Oh, Michelle," "What A Woman's For," "The Black Death," and "Dear Gina" are on Red Roses and Dead Things.

"Tanglewood Tree" appears on Tanglewood Tree, by Dave and Tracy, and on Abesailing for Beginners, by Playing Rapunzel.

It was a good show.

"Chorded" means "these are the guys who listened to me sing and figured out what chords needed to be played under the melody to make it sound awesome." I write tunes, but I don't write sheet music, so someone needs to transcribe and work through everything I do.

The CD/DVD thing is a DucKon tradition, but it doesn't happen at all, or even most, conventions. So sadly, it's not likely to be enormously common.
"woman in blue in the front row with tears running down her face" and "Safety Pin Wrangler" played by yours truly.

Hee.
It is commonly believed that I cry at commercials.
Need to enable more - I hope the Duckon orders are still open Friday, Thursday I think I will be talking several people into placing orders. :)

I hope the Duckon orders are still open Friday

The on-line will be open until June 30th.
This = awesome, and I fully support it.
. . . and I have a CD coming. Life is good.
I have a DVD coming, because I can't seem to make it to convention where she is singing (though, will make to Comic-Con, so, well TOBY...) But now, must find budget for CD
It was a hard decision, but I have been lucky enough to see all of them in concert. Not enough, but I have, so I went with CDs . . . it was hard enough to make my budget cough them up.
For me it's the must buy by June 30th. Every month has a small media budget or else I would go crazy. I tried not to budget for new music/movies/games - and well, that way lies madness.

But I will gnaw at the budget, get out large knives, and trim it down. Somehow...
Just find me at SDCC for hugs and a bookmark, if nothing else. I believe the ARCs will be at the Penguin booth, although I don't know precisely when (I'll announce once I do).
Hehe. I will do so.

And if I do get an ARC, it won't decrease the amount I buy -it just means I buy a copy to give out. Which, considering how many people I hooked on Dresden, is a good thing. :)
Which is good, honestly, since my one fear with ARCs is "oh God what if everybody who cares gets one and then they think they don't need to buy one and my numbers tank and DAW doesn't want the next set?"

Neurotic blonde is...
And you discussing that has made me look at my book buying habits, and how best to spend my book buying budget to keep the smaller or newer authors able to make more books.

For I read waaaaayyyy too much.
I keep meaning to sit down and do a post explaining how authors get paid using small enough numbers that it all makes sense. (Real author math is more like algebra being performed by an octopus than anything logical.)
Win for you!
No, WIN for me would be if you had a 'live concert recordings' website like Counting Crows does, and I could download innumerable iterations of 'Carnival Glass'.

But life remains very, very good as is.

:P
Someday.
*beth checks her memory* *yes, was replied to by nice DucKon person, and placed order*
*beth checks the list* *beth not only happies at old favorites, but SQUEES at some of the new ones*

Wicked Girls! Wicked Girls! EEEEEEEEE!

Or, ah, yes. Yes, that is one of my favorite songs ever. The rest are just icing. O:>
Yay!
You should hear my four year old singing that song. Cutest thing ever.

"Mama! I'm in a SONG! With TINKER BELL!"
Ooo! My nine-year-old has been known to sing Earthquake Weather, so I can imagine the CUTE!
