Covered Favorites

Pete Seeger wrote this song based on a 1938 poem by the Welsh poet Idris Davies, who lived in the town of Rhymney, Wales. The poem was written in protest of a pay cut the British government imposed on the coal industry as an austerity measure after WW I. Pete turned it into a protest about mine safety as is evidenced by his changing the line "who robbed the miner" to "who killed the miner". The Byrds then turned it into one of the most quintessential (and best) folk rock songs ever recorded, releasing it on their 1965 debut album "Mr. Tambourine Man".

"The Bells Of Rhymney" (Seeger/Davies)

Oh what will you give me 
say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future 
say the brown bells of Merthyr

Who made the mine owner 
say the black bells of Rhondda
And who killed the miner 
say the grim bells of Blaina

Throw the vandals in court 
say the bells of Newport
All would be well if, if, if, if, if 
say the green bells of Cardiff

Why so worried sisters why 
say the silver bells of Wye
And what will you give me 
say the sad bells of Rhymney

Oh what will you give me 
say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future 
say the brown bells of Merthyr

Who made the mine owner 
say the black bells of Rhondda
And who killed the miner 
say the grim bells of Blaina

Dream a Little Dream of Me (Piano by AcoustiClub)

This is a cover of a cover, so to speak.  The original by The Marvelettes from 1961 was covered by The Beatles in 1963 on their second album, "With The Beatles", and it is The Beatles' version that I am covering here.  It's a repeated four-chord, doo wop progression from the Motown era. Although the lyrics revolve around snail mail  it's still a good, fun song and I like it.

Meet The Oracle

Meet The Oracle

Émotions pendulaires lovées au céladon larvaire à peine effeuillées par la danse des phacélies en prières courbes, ici mangent les araignées calligraphes des transparences outrepassant ces sorbets sanguins si intimes aux squelettes des dehors indociles suffisamment carcasses connaisseuses pour enquiller quelques cailloux à leurs cocons que caressent les bourgeons femelles fushia du noisetier puis masse le mistral les romarins murmurant alors le mauve amoureux d'abeilles sauvages enfants des calices et des pistils peut être s'y filent ces semences suspendues lorsque d'autres éclatent à la gourmandise des campagnols dont les globes gobent tous photons avant de louer leur labyrinthe aussi argile mère goulue que les courtilières sous la plaine après les collines qui ne cessent de flûter nos nuages sauveurs et écrins des demains ou s'écrit déjà la victoire des terres et des femmes.

Nos Nuages Sauveurs

Meeting The World / by IPG1 / Tenor Sax Remix

A cover of The Cars' biggest hit.  From 1984, I believe.

"Drive"  (Cars cover)

This song was on the first Beatles album I ever got.  My cover features an Epiphone EJ-160e and an Epiphone Viola Bass, both recent acquisitions, both of them used, and both of them with flat-wound strings.

"This Boy" (Beatles cover)

One of my favorite Beatles songs.  Epiphone Casino (2016) and Epiphone Viola Bass.  Virtual drums, but with a real tambourine.

"And Your Bird Can Sing" (Beatles cover)

A Beatles classic with Lennon & McCartney providing a bit of genius melody writing on this one.  Much more than a lead vocal with a harmonized descant, rather there are two counter melodies that create an ever shifting set of intervals making the harmony seem much richer than one might expect from a two-part vocal.  I put a 15 ips tape echo on the vocal intro at the last minute. 

I had posted an earlier version of this cover a few years ago.  This one has been re-mixed and also had a number of errors corrected.

"If I Fell"  (Beatles cover)

Although I love just about all types of music, the biggest influence on what I write and record is the pop, rock, folk, and country music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.  All vocals and instruments are performed and recorded by me and, except where otherwise noted, all songs are original compositions.  I often post the lyrics to my compositions as an aid to listeners who do not have English as their first language.  Thanks to all who stop by and listen to any of my songs.  I appreciate your time and attention, and I hope you enjoy listening.

"Please Mr. Postman"
