TUNES THAT MOVED ME

Eternia's new take on Jeru's "The Bitches" had me in stitches.

Sunny D's ditty for the bike, "Leave a Little Room on the Right."

Nyceone's superhero song, brought back all those fond longings to wrap around me the strong, reassuring arms of Astroboy.

 

My eternal gratitude to the band that night, which consisted of John Kendrick, Jeff Burke, zAyla weedz, Michael Clark, Lai Yee Ho and Pierre Mongeon.  You guys hotted up the place!  This is one of the best renditions of "Butterfly" we've ever done.  The crowd kept the chorus going longer than I did, and the circle of energy travelled the length of the room and back, each not feeding the next.  High high high.  Loving it.
