Cowbell Apology

[puff]

I agree on the tempo issue. We all are/were ivy league students, I'd like to think we could keep a simple beat ::nut::  It's actually something thats been bothering me the last few years, just i don't know what to do about it.

[Ack]

...and the quick petering out of "Let's Go Red!" is a little sad, again.

FYI, you've *never* been able to hear the cowbell very well from E and beyond. I was in E for three years and you could never make out the pattern, just a general beat. So that ain't Ari's fault, just how its always been.

We must just have a bunch of drummers in the crowd.

Q: What do you do if a player in the band can't play?
A: Give him two sticks and put him behind the band.

Q: What do you do with a drummer that can't drum?
A: Take away one stick and put him in front of the band.

Hi everyone!
I thought I'd check in here.
When I originated the cheer in '68, Ken Dryden was in the goal for his senior year.  The following year we went 29-0.  It's hard to believe how LONG ago that was!!  I realize that many years have gone by and the current cheer being played may not sound exactly like the original, but it's a tradition now, so who can complain?

If there are purists out there, (and it appears that there are some retro fans)... I recorded the audio clip for elynah exactly as I played it from '68 to '72, and on the same bell.  It's there as a reference (thanks Age).  I played it whenever the moment seemed right (a gestalt kind of thing), not necessarily at any prescribed time or in any particular period.  It seemed to work out.

Go Red!
