I don't know if they still do it or not; but, some Elks Lodges used to have an 11:00 Toast to members who had died. At a dance, everything stops at 11:00pm, the band plays Auld Lang Syne softly, and the names are read.
We always played it in the key of F.

I think F, Bb, and Eb chords sound really nice on the E9 tuning.

Yes, I have done that and played it on steel at lodges over the years.. Not sure if its still done at all of them , but I imagine some still do.

The gigs at Elks, Eagles, Moose, and other social club are long gone in my area. We played a lot of them in the 70s and 80s, and I remember the 11:00 pm toast. They would ring a bell, as I remember. Those gigs were always packed and a dinner was served. But those gigs are gone now. So are most of the VFW and AmLegion gigs. Today we have brewery gigs… earlier hours, shorter hours, more family oriented.

| I remember the 11pm toast too. I wonder if it was related somehow to the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” end of The Great War. |
