"Imagine", open mic night, acoustic cover (John Lennon)
Just for fun and a nice memory: uploading a song from open mic night, 05-25-24 in New Jersey. Some background noise and I need to sing louder, ha ha, but a decent performance, I thought 😉
I plan to continue this, it's a nice group of good folks just enjoying music. I haven't done an open mic in nearly a decade, and I'm glad I did.

My highest viewed video, is a lesson that I did over a decade ago, for this song. I was playing today and decided to record this great little song. Gotta' love the 80's! It's an easy version, so feel free to check out my lesson. I think it's still a good one.

    I don't know the original key for Octopus's Garden, but your rendition sounds about a half key lower than the orginal and the little slower tempo, so it makes the song sounds more relaxing. It was a great experience to listen to your unique version!
