CXCW 2012: St Patrick’s Day by John Mayer cover by Carla Lynne Hall

I didn’t go to South by Southwest this year, but I did attend Couch by Couchwest, the virtual music conference “where the only hipster is you”. As today is St. Patrick’s Day, I chose to do an a capella cover of “St. Patrick’s Day” by John Mayer. The song has nothing to do with being Irish or green beer, but I like it just the same.

From the Couch by Couchwest blog:
CXCW is the slackers alternative to SXSW. During the week of March 11-18, 2012 musicians from around the world submit videos recorded on a couch, porch, bathroom…anywhere but the stage…for our enjoyment from the comfort of our living rooms. We hope to bring together as many people as possible who are stuck home while all their friends are stuck in the crowds of Austin, TX. So crack open a beer, crank up the volume, and enjoy the couch!

Video: “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman”

For my last official blog post entry for the Great Blog Off 2008, I’m happy to share another video.

“(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman” is a song I’ve never recorded for a CD, but happily performed live over the years. In this particular performance, I sang a capella while the audience sang backup. The audience was filled with friends, and because it was right before a holiday weekend, people were feeling festive. In other words, it was a total hoot!!! I wish all performances could be as fun as this one was!

Video: Lucy & Ethel

Here’s a video from my Supernova CD, entitled “Lucy & Ethel”.

This song was written for my best girlfriend, Anna, as it reflects ups, downs, and adventures of any friendship that has lasted as long as ours.

She’s Lucy. I’m definitely Ethel. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
