The Day Before Tomorrow 

Hello, Markfans, or people who read this because I've pestered you on Facebook until you feel obligated. Either way, welcome. I'm going to preview something I'm going to do next week. I'm going to post either a short video or an audio recording of songs that have been on my mind lately. These will be quick and dirty recordings, using Quick Time for the videos and Garageband for the audio. For both, I'm using a Blue Snowball USB Microphone.

The first audio I'm posting is my quick recording of Tenessee Ernie Ford's Sixteen Tons. I've lked this song for a long time but never performed it. I have good memories of watching "Joe VS. the Volcano" and this songs plays in the beginning when everyone's drudging into work. If you've never heard Kate Smith's version, you should. Tom Jones also recorded it and I'm a big Tom Jones fan. Let me know what you think. Should I play this at my next gig? I think I will. I'm going to post it on the listen section of my site.

The first video is my version of Springsteen's Atlantic City. This is for everyone who missed the premier of my version at the Southside Tavern last Thursday. Listen carefully, I believe the fuzz when speeding by at one point, blue lights a flashin'. Check it out:

Happy Thursday, enjoy the snow if you got any.
