Hello from the land of the Dregs!


We’ve taken a bit of a hiatus and will resume with our regular off season Dreg schedule come this next month… what that means for all of you is that we the Dregs will start rehearsals again! Oh Frabjulous joy, Caloo calay!

This also means we will be working up new tunes. Once again I’m sending a shout out and requesting some input from you the most wonderfulest of all Droupies:
is there a song that you would


A)    like to hear us  sing/work-up/dreg-e-fy


B)     think would be a good fit for us


C)    recommend to listen too just because it’s an awesome piece?


I know I can use all the help I can get.


 

Other than that what can I say? Oh, yeah, the lot of us still lives in ....Minnesota....… yep, and the snow is a nice little reminder of that fact. So stay warm, keep safe, and we’ll catch you at the next round.

Yup, I tolds you at ... Um, Twig I think, Real Ol Mountain Dew. It's a real song. Thomas did not believe me. It's by the Clancy Brothers. Or at least that is the recording I have of it. That Thomas. Non-believer that he is.
:D

I always thought you guys should do a comedy version of the song Tom Dooley. There is a group out there called the fools that did a good one. But I can never find the lyrics for it. But it goes something like this.


Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain
She was hanging from a tall okay tree
She'd been dead for days lord
But she's just right for me

Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're bound to die

I took her to the..movies
things did not go well
people started..complaining
what's that awful smell

Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're bound to die

the last part is what I can't remember fully
But it goes something like

Some people's dogs have rabies
It's makes the ladies cry
Other folks are making..babies
We're just making flies

it's that last part I can't quite remember.
I just know it did end with the "We're just making flies"
It may not be "The Dregs" style, but I always thought you guys would or could do something funny with that song. Call me crazy.
