I'm glad to see Gordon Lightfoot is pulling YouTube veiwers to me by way of watching me do covers of his.
Both Did She Mention My Name & Albert Bound are being received well. Thanks Gord!
For What It's Worth Dept.
Almost had a disaster while using the computer to write a song. Nothing so mundane as hitting the wrong key and wiping out what I'd thought of. As I reached over and lifted a bottle of fountain pen ink over to the side, I hadn't screwed the lid tight and it spilled on my desktop and keyboard. I spent the next 2 days Q-tipping ink off the solid state circuitry and managed to save it. Whew. Lord knows why I don't stick to using my fountain pens.
Well friends, I've had a fun time off but I really need to work. I put a cover of Alberta Bound by Gordon Lightfoot up on YouTube ("Alberta Bound by Gordon Lightfoot performed by Steve Jordan") & it's getting listened to by a few Lightfootheads. I like it!!!
I was setback with a fingernail issue for a few months but now I'm committing to acrylic nails and the trade off is worth it. Meaning I can give performances again.
Speaking of which, I had a succesful gig recently and got a gig lined up for another April 30th (see calendar for details).
Peace and good cheer
to those who drink beer
or those who would not
because they drink Scotch sj
This is your chance to hear When I Get Home that's much better than the version I put up on YouTube. Ed Newkirk and I went into the studio with a laid back attitude and came out with something pretty nice. Remember it's free for right now and you can download it at CDBaby.com (my HQ) or several digital distribution outlets like i-Tunes, etc. when you feel like it.
Thanks,

I was in South Africa and Botswana in September gigging and have many ideas churning for songs. I wrote one about the wildlife in Botswana that is nearing completion. If it gets listened to as much as When I Get Home I don't know where I'll hide out next. sj
