🎧 Covers from Sister Hazel and Tonic
Hey everyone… hope you’re doing good this night.
So these next two are my very first ones that I did in the bathroom, both are a little more lo-fi and raw, before I started using Lexis Audio Editor… and before I knew I’d be posting them for everyone to hear. 😁
Hope you enjoy… thanks for listening.

🎧 Bakersfield • Can’t Take It With You
Social Distortion’s story is pretty unique. Mike Ness is a unique guy. A lot of his roots are in old country music. He’s also got a solo record where he covers many old country songs.
But when he started the band in 1978, they were full-on punk, rebellious teenagers—completely immersed in that music scene.
Over the years, though, you can see the evolution. The country, rock, and blues slowly made its way into their sound, and it’s just so cool to see them still at it today.
Much respect.
Here are two from the later years.
🎧 Bakersfield
🎧 Can’t Take It With You
From the album Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes 2o11
I’ve also included a recent ½ hour performance from a few months ago for a small audience at a radio station in California promoting their new record, Born to Kill.
Hope you enjoy.

For anyone new to my blog…
I started playing guitar in November of 1988. I was 14. I had no intention of learning, but after the tragic death of my best friend, a guitar found its way to me one night and somehow made a way for me—a way to face things.
Music has always been the heart of me.
But a handful of years ago, I arrived at a place inside where it just didn’t matter anymore. Life was hitting me hard. I lost the fire. The desire for it. So I stopped playing completely for over three years and honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever play again.
Then recently, something started bubbling up in me. I could feel it coming back, strong.
So about three or four months ago, I picked it back up, and I honestly feel like that kid again. Maybe even more than before.
Since then, I’ve been playing most every day for a few hours, conditioning my fingers and getting my calluses back. A few people close to me have been asking me to record and share some songs with them, so that’s what I’ve been doing.
I started recording in my room but eventually moved to the bathroom because the acoustics are much better. It’s nothing fancy—just me, my guitar, and a simple app on my phone called Lexis Audio Editor.
As the recordings started piling up, I decided to make it a series. A few people here on WordPress had also been asking me to share, so here we are.
Honestly, these posts are nothing more than me sitting around doing what I normally do. They just happen to be captured this time.
Also, many of these are recorded late at night while others are sleeping. So I try to play and sing loud enough to make it decent without waking the dead. 😁

Covers of Florida Georgia Line & Sister Hazel
So I decided to start this series because I thought it would be fun to share and let yall see what I’ve been up to over the past couple of months.
I started doing these recordings about two months ago. A mix of Christian and secular. During the first month, I was just using the WhatsApp recorder, so the sound quality is pretty rough—very lo-fi—but on some of those I still managed to captured some cool moments.
About a month ago, I downloaded Lexis Audio Editor, and the sound quality is a lot better. This week I have two songs for you… Cruise by Florida Georgia Line and Your Winter by Sister Hazel, which I recorded last night. I also tried singing it in the key of D for the first time.
Anyway, I hope yall enjoy them. Thanks for listening.🎙️

Do you think humans will ever colonize Mars? What would life there actually look like?
I don’t know… but I sure as heck hope so… because I have some Martians in my family—and they need to take their butts on home. 👽🚀💯🤟

Do you believe in minimalism?
Absolutely not!
I thinketh a man should haveth many wives!
Many guitars. Many books. Many fishing lures.
Minimalism and I haveth agreed to seeth other people.
If you believeth me on this… come hither… I want to showeth you something no one hath ever seeneth…

Yall check out my friend Tracie’s blog sometime… you’ll enjoy her.
On Tuesdays… you can actually recommend full albums to her… and she’ll listen and give her review on them. It’s a really cool idea 🎶😎
And she does a great job with it honestly.
Tuesdays are for Tunes Here we go gang…Glam Metal time…also known as the Hair bands. If you were around in the 80s/early 90s as a teenager or 20s you knew something about the hair bands. Nowadays you might have just heard of a few names. Like Motley Crew, Poison, Def Leppard and even Bon Jovi […]
