May 14, 2020: I post an impromptu acoustic cover of “Bloody Valentine” to Instagram in a feeble grab for Machine Gun Kelly’s attention. It’s 2 am & I have no idea what I’m doing, but it’s fun!
May 14, 2021: For an entire year, I’ve created & shared a weekly #60SecondCover, learning from each & every one while I fell back in love with music. Not for money or acclaim or a break from imposter syndrome: just for the sake of it. No strings attached.
Believe it or not, that hasn’t come naturally to me in a long, long time.
(How It Started)
(How It’s Going)
In short, this has been one heck of a ride. As it continues –who knows for how long? – I want to acknowledge the many friends who’ve collaborated with me on these mini passion projects – especially my better musician half, Evan Wallach. He’s both a phenomenal musician and friend, and I’d be hopelessly lost without him.
For others, I’ve linked to some accounts where you can find their wonderful work:
- Chris Masson – Hit The Road Jack (11.6.2020)
- Kim Boyko – Criminal (11.20.2020)
- Kat Siciliano – Thank You For Being A Friend (11.27.2020)
- Marielle Nuval – The 12 Days of Christmas (12.24.2020)
- Ben Mather – The 12 Days of Christmas (12.24.2020)
- John Rea – That’s Not My Name (4.30.2021)
- Henry Lucas – You’re My Sugar (5.7.2021)
I sincerely hope you enjoy this song as it comes full circle. I also invite you to check out this journey in its entirety (more or less) through my #60SecondCover library here.
