However, there are so many seminars and so many of us, that I feel we should practice for 1 half an hour sometimes between dinner and the performances. I recommend we all plan on an early dinner, say to be finished by 6:30pm and meet in the hotel lobby just next to the main restaurant (assuming normal hotel layout).

On the outro head, a diatonic player will play the first 16 bars, the chromatic player will finish the tune. For whatever outro, the player will begin on the 16th bar of the melody leading us into the 17th bar.

Do you play the diatonic fully chromatically? It really does not matter since you can play the melody with only a few bends.

There is often a limited amount of time between songs so we might all be sharing one or two mics. George, if you need a DI box, please anticipate talking to the sound guy before we go up.

Every diatonic and chrome player will get a 32 bar solo and then we will have a diatonic player play the first 8 bars of the melody outro and then a chrome player will finish out the tune.
