Two Divas...One Song (This is NOT a Competition!)

I present 2 divas interpreting a one hit wonder of lasting importance. I believe it is crucial for the audience to understand this is a comparison of two equals in the industry and not a competition between two self-absorbed hacks struggling for attention in a world that cares less and less about their life (not to mention their inestimable talents.)

Reunited . . . And It's Understood.

St. Cloud is still reeling from being the only stop on the whirlwind Connor, Fish, Abeln tour - aka Fish-abe-con. Though the hermit-like artists are generally reluctant to appear on camera, demand from fans prompted them to acquiesce to filming two select songs.

Enjoy!

M & D's Waltz

This one is entirely too well lit, but whatever. A Lefty Frizzel song that was covered by Iris Dement. I'm obsessed!

One Man Guy -- Sung by A GIRL!

Three-verse songs seem to be too long for me to go without screwing up simple chords, but those are my limitations people. Here's three verses with some flubs:



Sorry it took me so long to post a new video, Al. I had to go buy a capo so I wasn't trying to sing bass on this.

Thanks, Mully, For Reminding Me of This Song


I even included the key change in the third verse! (For the uninitiated, a key change is the sort of thing one only expects from a real musician.)(It's kind of a big deal.)

Spring Creek in March



If only I would have recorded the sound of the running creek, I could have joined the hootenany. These pictures were from the Spring Creek picnic area off Sheridan Lake Road. I'll try to get some video on my next foray into the hills.

This One Gets Kinda Psychedelic



I seem to be foisting an embarrassment of output upon you folk. I was going to wait for Roxy, Buck, Jefe, Ericka , or Mary to post before I put anymore songs up. I wanted to just prime the pump of our creativity and then sit back and watch. But fortuitous serendipity entered my world while i was playing around with the video effects on my editing program. I just had to share it with all y'all immediately. What are the chances that i would have my guitar sound hole at the very center of the video frame at the same time i discovered the 'mirror lens' feature?
If you look at the reflected highlights on the guitar, it looks like a lil' ol' teddybear singing the song. (but it wasn't...it was really me.)
