Played @ the Open Mike tonight. Before the show we filmed some TV spots for a local channel, advertising the Open Mike at Serious Coffee. They were Christmas themed so I sang an abridged version of "Needles and Pine", the old Smidgen song. Later, when James (the host) was being interviewed, the cameramen asked Sophie and myself to sing some

Hey Geoff. I think I'm gonna try to play Slide tonight at the Porter's Pub Open Mic. I have it more or less worked out (I think), and I've been playing it for a couple days now. I'm cutting the section of the song (3:55-4:20 on the recording) where you're "oooing," as I don't think that'll work live (for me, anyway). But I seem to have the rest of it down pretty good. I love singing the "Turn your back and lie" part, especially. I sing it differently, like an angry John Lennon (along the lines of the angrier parts of "I'm So Tired"). I'm having fun with it. If I can remember the words....that'll determine whether I play it or not!

Actually, last night's snow storm determined whether I played it or not. No Open Mic....snowed out! Hopefully next week.

Damn! If at all possible, try and record your performance. I'd love to hear your take on "Slide"!

Here's a solo acoustic version of Slide. I recorded it on Wednesday night when I was rehearsing and I wanted to hear what it sounded like. There's a couple lines that are different, in spots where I couldn't make out what you were singing on the Teenage Love recording. So I made up something that sounded similar to what I thought you were singing. The chords are a little different in some spots too...I just wanted to find chords that would let me sing the song. It's still the same song....just my interpretation, I guess.
