On just this last Friday night I saw Marc Cohn in concert. He has a new CD out with covers from 1970, when he was 11 years old. He played a few of the covers from the CD during the concert including Wild World by Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam). Before playing the song Marc mentioned that Yusuf had called him and complimented him on his cover of the song.

I so enjoyed the song, that I thought I would quickly learn it and do it for the VOM today. So here it is. Somehow I don't think Yusuf or Marc Cohn for that matter will be calling me though.

Here's my submission to the VOM this month. It's a simple and some what repetive country song, but it challenges the upper limit of my vocal range.

Ok, here's my submission to the VOM this month. I want to thank maplebbay who regularily posts in the lesson loft forum. He had posted a youtube video lesson of how to play this song that I found. I've always wanted to learn this song and thanks to maplebbay, now I have. It's a little rough, but I was anxious to record it and submit it to the VOM.

Here's my submission to the VOM this month. I recorded the vocals and rhythm guitar in 1 take on 1 track, but then I decided to add a second track to add a little improvised lead just for fun.

Here's my submission for this month. John Eddie is a lesser known folk rock singer-songwriter. He probably best known for a song called Low Life that was covered by Kid Rock. The song I'm covering is more from his sensitive side, as he puts it.

Ok, running a little behind today, but here's my entry for this month's VOM. I don't really know any christmas songs, but in the spirit of winter and the storm that hit the East Coast this weekend, I decided to do an acoustic version of R.E.O. Speedwagon's classic rock song Riding The Storm Out.

Ok, here's my submission this month. It's an original I wrote called Other Men. I wrote the first 2 verses 20 years ago when I used to go out dancing quite a bit, but long forgot about it. Recently a friend of mine asked me to play it and it got a new life. With only 2 verses I thought it was kind of short, so I added a third verse that also modernizes it. In a way, you can say it took me 20 years to write this song.
