Would have to listen to both tunes of course. HEY the best thing that's happened w/ this thread is that I get turned on to some material I've never heard before!!

If you've never heard "Khatru", it's a MUST. And if you could come anywhere close to Steve Howe's guitar prowess on that song, I don't think anyone would mind you singing two octaves lower than Anderson...

How close is "anywhere close"....like as close as Cleveland is to Beijing? 'Cause I might get in and around THAT "close" to Howe's prowess...he's a MONSTER!!! I'm gonna find it & listen, anyway! Thanks TS!

Pappy,

Im excited to hear it man, I dont know if yall like Blind Melon but No Rain is always a fun tune and usually pretty recognizable by others...

Appreciate it man!

[\quote="pappypgh"]Chuckles...yeah, you're right. Sorry man. I just figured that this was the place to ask. But I think maybe I've been a tad overactive & self-centered with my postings...my bad.

Thanks for the kudos, tho![quote]

I am SO glad you didn't take that the wrong way! The kudos are MUCH more important than the critique - and I was making it after two hours of a fucking smoke alarm repeatedly going off in my hotel in the middle of the night, so... ymmv.



Love the Buddy Miles suggestion...

No prob, Chuckles...you were right, as I said. 'Sall good.

I didn't get to check out ANY of those songs on iTunes last night as I was stuck in traffic for 547 hours on the way back home from the Steeler game. AND I'm goin' out of town and won't have computer access for 4-5 days. SO, I'll check 'em ALL out when I return next Wednesday.

AND - Weirimpressed...
We DO "No Rain" when our wonderfully talented friend, Cherylann Hawk joins us (she's KILLER). She sings lead. David is currently looking for a version of Possum for ya.

Possum's up....don't know how good it is, as I didn't listen to it. BUT I'm pretty sure the only couple of half-decent recordings we ever got of it, Patti Spadaro is joining us on guitar (playing a really nice PRS).

(not to be self-serving, it was a request..heheh)

I just posted a couple tunes from our set last month at the Pittsburgh Blues Festival, pretty sure that we were the first band in the 15 years of the festival to play a GD tune...go to our site and check out GDTRFB>Loose Lucy...we were joined by Phil Brontz on sax and he was on fire all set

should have a few more tunes up soon

david

thanks for posting that up there david, it was a great listen. Yall bring a different sound to the table for that tune. The Loose Lucy is on fire too!

bust out some Seger! How bout turn the page

One of the coolest songs I ever heard a band cover was 'Cry Baby Cry' - Beatles. Not a real dancer though...

And yes all the 'Causer's' have been very cool and appreciated! Makes me wish I was in a band all the more.

i've been on a CSN kick recently...how about trying:

Southern Cross
Woodenships
Almost Cut My Hair
Long Time Gone

Rhapsody in Red, good opener, or first set closer. Not too many people cover this one

How about my fav bob tune..Money Money... that would be ...uh ah sickleberry
