Okay, so I commented on it and now I'm going to expand on it. I think the Springsteen cover is going to be...Atlantic City, although I'm digging Thunder Road, too. I must admit, I'm not a Springsteen fan. I was playing the Rack in Carrabassett Valley in June and a delightful young lady asked me to sing a Springsteen tune. I told her I didn't know any because I like good music and she was angry. I thought I was being funny but I guess she didn't think it was. While not a fan, I do respect the fact that he's been able to survive, thrive, and build such a huge following over the years. He's also a great musician and he's surrounded himself with great musicians. There's another thing I like about him, too. He's been playing the same telecaster for years. I'm sure he has more than one but it would be really cool if he really had only one.
So Genesis has been suggested as well. I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself around to do Genesis. I have several really good friends who are huge Genesis fans, so maybe I should trust their judgement and torture my ears to see if I can get anything out of it, hehehehe...Will I have to get an electronic drum machine? (I'm guessing you know how I feel about those.)
I received in the mail a really cool book in the mail. It's Keith and Rusty McNeil's "Colonial and Revolution Songbook". I spoke with Keith's son on the phone last week and had a very cool conversation. The McNeil's built a career out of teaching history through music. I love their example and I'd love to follow in their footsteps. When I was in college at Kutztown University, I met a gentleman who had graduated from Kutztown with a geography degree and he put together a group call the "History Alive Boys". They went around and played period songs in period constumes. I would have had a blast doing that. Maybe I will....what do you think?
