Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer - Irish Rovers Cover
Here is my spin on the Randy Brooks 1979 composition that I first heard as a single by The Irish Rovers in 1982. We added it that year to the December sets by Gordie Mitchell & His Orchestra, and I have loved to play and sing it ever since. #christmas #christmassongs

Away In A Manger - 18th Century Hymn / melody William J. Kirkpatrick

As a child in St. Mark's Anglican Church, this was always one of my favourite Christmas carols. I have always been partial to the "Cradle Song" melody by Kirkpatrick. #christmas #christmascarol

Part of the 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home, it is found on many Dylan live recordings and compilation albums. It ended up as a #1 hit for The Byrds, and has also been covered by Judy Collins, Odetta, Melanie, and Stevie Wonder. I started tackling this fun song to pla...

With the new Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown being released in theatres December 25, here is another Bob Dylan classic. Part of the 1964 album Another Side Of Bob Dylan, he did not start playing it live until 1988. However, it has been covered by a wide range of artists through the years; it was The Byrds' last Top 40 hit in 1967. I have enjoyed playing it live for the last 30 years. #bobdy...

We are exactly one month away from the day that the new Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown is released in theatres, so here is another Bob Dylan classic. When I Paint My Masterpiece was first released by The Band in 1971, and it was also a favourite and frequent cover by the Grateful Dead from 1987 onward. #bobdylan #bobdylancover #gratefuldead #gratefuldeadcover #bobweir

The late, great Sam Cooke wrote and first performed (What A) Wonderful World in 1960. This version borrows heavily from the Jerry Garcia Band cover of the song. #jerrygarcia #samcooke
Puff The Magic Dragon - A Peter Yarrow and Lenny Lipton Cover
Переглядів 46Місяць тому
Written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary and based on a poem by Leonard Lipton, Puff The Magic Dragon was a hit for that trio in 1963. I learned it shortly after that as one of the fun songs we sang in kindergarten. #peterpaulandmary
You Can't Always Get What You Want - A Rolling Stones Cover
Переглядів 161Місяць тому
There have been many, many hits by The Rolling Stones over their 6 decade-plus career. Here is my spin of You Can't Always Get What You Want, the B side to Honky Tonk Women from their 1969 album Let It Bleed.
Jack-A-Roe - A Grateful Dead Cover
Переглядів 1012 місяці тому
This song from the early 1800s was one of my favourite Grateful Dead covers from the moment I first saw and heard it at the Augusta Civic Centre (10/12/84). Jack-A-Roe is a fascinating story song with a great groove that is fun to play and sing. This cover is being posted earlier than I originally intended in grateful memory of Phil Lesh, who departed this life 10/24/24. #gratefuldead #grateful...
High Flying Bird - A Elton John Cover
Переглядів 3462 місяці тому
Growing up, I had a few albums that I played over and over. One of them was Elton John’s 1973 album Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player. All of that album’s songs are etched into my brain, including the album-closing track High Flying Bird. Granted, I stretch beyond my vocal range at the end, but I do love this song. #eltonjohncover #eltonjohn

There was never a lyricist like John Prine. Here is my spin on his wry gem Dear Abby, a song from his third album Sweet Revenge. #johnprine #MarinersMusicFest #ArtsCultureNB
Rockin' In The Free World - A Neil Young Cover
Переглядів 772 місяці тому
After some neat artistic tangents throughout the 1980s, Neil Young got back to basic rock Neil style with his 1989 album Freedom. This is my take on that album’s single hit Rockin’ In The Free World. #neilyoungcover #neilyoung
Touch of Grey by Grateful Dead - A Cover Ft. Husky Harmony Vocals
Переглядів 3683 місяці тому
I first saw and heard this song at my first Grateful Dead show - 10-11-84 at the Augusta Civic Centre. It then became their only top 10 hit in 1987; I again saw them play this song at the Kingswood Music Theatre just north of Toronto 6/30/87. I have fooled around with different treatments of Touch Of Grey since then. This spin comes complete with bonus cameo Husky Harmony Vocals from Sheila sta...
Garden Party - a Rick Nelson cover
Переглядів 365 місяців тому
Late 1950s / early 1960s teen idol Ricky Nelson was striking out on a comeback tour with music that was far more country and rock than his fans of his heyday expected when they attended the Richard Nader Oldies Concert at Madison Square Garden in 1971. While Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Bobby Rydell delivered sets aligned with what they had performed a decade ago, Nelson included new material a...
