Songs and Studios

I’m back and forth on whether or not I should post set lists.  They’d probably only be of interest to me, as most of my original material isn’t really well known and the covers aren’t anything to brag about either.

Well, maybe I will tell you which covers I played last night, huh?

Born to Fly by Sara Evans, which always reminds me of my friend, Molly, from high school.  I frickin’ love that girl.
I’m Yours by Jason Mraz, on ukulele, of course.
The Greatest Man I Never Knew, by Reba, because HI. It’s me, I gotta play Reba.
No One Needs to Know by Shania Twain, on uke. Because that song IS MY LIFE.
Fireflies by Faith Hill/Lori McKenna, on uke, because Awwwwwwh.
Eleanor Rigby on uke because who doesn’t love a good Beatles song on ukulele?
I Wanna Hold Your Hand because again, who doesn’t love a good Beatles song song ukulele?

And… I meant to play Overboard by Ingrid Michaelson on keys, but I forgot.  Next time.

All in all, I had a really fantastic show last night.  I tried to push it to an hour and a half, and if I’d have taken the ten minute break I should have taken, I’d have made it.  I had a better turn out than I expected, and the people I work with really showed me how supportive and awesome they are.  I’ve complained about that job in the past but I absolutely cannot complain about the people I work with.  They’re incredible.  I got lots of great feedback, met some new people, and… um…

I even gave my phone number to a boy.

But that’s fodder for the other blog.

I spent this evening at a friend’s place laying down scratch tracks for a project we’re doing in a few weeks, and I got a rough cut of one of the songs I’m doing for an awesome documentary project taken care of, which I’m told should be mixed down and ready to go TOMORROW.  If that’s not great service, man, I don’t know what is.

Life is good right now.  The rock’s really starting to roll around here.

Oh.  And I’ll be back at the Bluebird on Monday.  Who’s coming to hang with me?
