A Note From Ellie:
Hi, I'm Ellie TheDance, and I'm so pleased to have you as a special singer for "TheDance Tribute To Elvis."
The program will be going into the morning hours of the 17th, to accomodate all the singers, and also, different time zones.
I'm calling this a "Round Robin," where each artist will sing one Elvis song... then I will call the next singer to the mic. If there is not a long lineup of singers, each one who wishes to sing additional songs, and some have indicated so on the web page, may do so right away. Otherwise, just one song, and then on to the next singer, with artists returning for more songs.
There will be times when I'll call up a singer who has recently entered the room because we were in IM about timing.
This will happen when a singer is not able to wait in the room, and stand in line with their hand up. Anyone may contact me and let me know about when they will be able to come in and take the mic.
I'll do my best to get each person to the mic in a timely way, and I trust all will understand when things are not as they usually are. I don't know if this "round robin" idea has been tried before, but it's something I think will work... hopefully without too many faux pas.
I may enter the sequence of singers in the banner as I work out each one's schedule, but that is just a possibility. How ever it is accomplished, I hope you'll all bear with me... this IS new, and could be a fantastic way to cover special events/anniversaries/etc. Note that live singers will take precedence over those playing recordings of Elvis. Any suggestions you may have will be welcome.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Let's have fun,
Ellie "TheDance"
Please note there will be no weekly TheDance Concerts Thursday nights, as in the past. Instead, TheDance will plan special events, memorials, tributes...for these concerts, and announce them as they are ready. "Open mic" begins when the concerts are over, and anyone who puts their hand up will be called to the mic. Thanks, Ellie
Note that concert night was changed from Friday 10pm EDT, to Thursday, beginning with the MichelGaudet concert on August 2nd. Specials begin at 9:00 pm Eastern Time.
Ellie will open TheDance as requested, or as time permits.
