The Covid Sessions - Episode 10

At some point I had the idea to put Zeppelin's That's the Way together with Pearl Jam's Daughter. I think it was the first time I heard Pearl Jam's Daughter. Turns out the same custom tuning works for both, win win. The tuning break is a little long, but a 10,000 Maniacs song and then another brilliant twofer, Too Late and Too Late.


I used the world famous Dr Wippit "Gordon Heavyfoot" version of If You Could Read My Mind to make the switch from Electric to Acoustic. You see I'm working on the show. The Electric Set is all pet songs for me from the 80s that I've never played before, things you do when you're trying to learn a new set every week. And an original thrown in cause ... pet songs.

So I found out Covid was "real" as I was in the office at my new job getting ready for a weekend of Frozen Dead Guy Days in 2020.

In the six days between the first two Covid shows, I decided the shows should have themes, I sure can't play the same songs every week right?

For the third episode, I stepped the sound up with a mixer so I have a stage mic and my guitar on separate channels

That's right I opened the show streaming to the wrong page, the Tastes Like Chicken page. So nobody saw it as it happened, but there it is.

The first time I opened with a Pink Floyd reference. I’m starting to kind of feel like there are regulars for these.
