Todd Rundgren’s “Hello It’s me” in “five”.

Right now we are finishing up Kickstarter covers, form last falls campaign to make “Plans In Progress”. It feels like yesterday.

The first song we did, which we released in the spring, was a cover of Joe Esposito’s “You’re the Best Around” form the movie the KArate Kid.

It’s actually doing really well on Youtube! Love it. Can you tell what band I’m paying homage to?
congratulate our Friend Brandon, for requesting such a good idea to cover.

The nest song we do is Todd Rundgren’s “Hello It’s Me”, and The sketch I created this morning has me really excited. I actually started this in the spring, but did this wacky solo piano arrangment, and then left it alone, becasue the inspiration came and went.

here is that version:

piano, in five.
gotta love it.
or it may make you puke.
the straight ahead version that is coming is sich, and will steam-roll all those OTHER Todd Rundgren covers.

Never Stop Working.

Muddy Waters is 67 years old in this.
Playing live in Germany. His career had come and gone several times. He never cared, he only knew to make the music that made him happy. Check the 02:06 mark of this video.

BARON VON LUXXURY

Did you go to the Robotanists/ Spirit Animal/ Baron Von Luxxury: amazing – yet TOTALLY under attended, show last month?

If you did, you probably didn’t see Baron. Even though he is awesome.
don’t believe me?
check his new video – which has some totally sich footage shot when no one was looking.
Because no one was looking.

You should go to shows.
And get off your ass. (you have a DVR).
