Hey guys,
I've been put in charge of MENUS and MUSIC, so here are my thoughts.
Anyone with dietary restrictions please let me know, and I guarantee excellent food and drinks, all in enormous quantities to please every discerning palate!
Blue Frog provides a live band, but honestly they are always too loud, and it's almost impossible to carry on an extended conversation over the band. My recommendation is that we get together a KILLER playlist of all the songs that meant something to us during those years. That way we have control over the volume when we're meeting and mingling, and we can crank it up when we want to start dancing.
Also, this will give us a chance to train the spotlight on Rajeevs Ruia and Merchant, Padman and Neville, and anyone else who'd like to (Kappy are you listening), to get up on stage and belt it out for us.
So how about everyone send me a list of songs and/or bands that they absolutely must hear and i will put it together with inputs from the club's DJs. I might even be able to get the guys at Blue Frog Sound Labs to burn us CDs that we can all take home as a memento.
Whadyathink?

If music is the food of love, play on!! I hear lots of votes for Karaoke as well. If we each sent in our fav song - we should have over 100 songs or about 5 hours of great rocknroll. Will the club DJ's run the show? Can we get Behram to MC some of the events? Way to go Manjula :)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what music most people listen to but I have a huge collection of music of the 1970's, 80s and some new hip hop stuff. It is on my PC on itunes. If I can help let me know. I just need an amp and speakers.
ReplyDeleteAll great ideas, Manju

I feel it will be a great idea to do the School Song too.
Rajeev Ruia
What about ABBA , most of us will even know the words. School song would be super. Somehow I find the new Cats ( which include my own kids) dont 'let it rip or thunder"while singing the school song like we used.

Hey Rashmi, good to see you online :) Guess we'll have to teach our children well...we've still got the spirit even though we may not remember all the words! see you soon.
ReplyDeleteOh yes the school song will be good! and some sanatana, carpenters, doors , jose feliciano ....ha ha maybe even a rendition of all things bright and beautiful...our morning carol which i hv never forgotten;-))
ReplyDeleteHi Manjula, I suggest stuff like CSN, Clapton and Pink Floyd as opposed to Deep Purple and Metallica (the latter being more suitable for being played at 12 midnight than 12 noon.)
ReplyDeleteGuys, whadyathink? I think this mail is going to open up a Pandora's box of mails for Manjula...Regards, Hussain Varawalla
