comedy

A prize from Sundayland

Original Version

With apologies to George Gershwin: white man — particularly this one — can’t sing the blues.

With apologies to the listener: it’s rough and ready, words written and the four parts recorded in about an hour and a half. And I can’t sing the blues. Or even sing.

With apologies to Augustana; this comedy cover was put together in just four hours, so it’s a bit rough around the edges. But even I sound like Coldplay now.

“Call the Ships to Port” by Covenant went a bit silly in my head. Now it’s “Call the Cowboys Home”. The rules:

• no music
• no practice
• figured out by ear as I went along
• one take for each track (no going back and fixing mistakes)
• instrumentation: one guitar, my voice (beats are done by knocking the body of the guitar)
