dthedust Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 that guys "hip" cover of the song almost makes me hate it.i understand its how each person relates to it,but he heard this song and wanted to do some upbeat jazzy cover?at least otis redding it slowly with horns.there must be a new drug out there i havent heard of that when he heard it sounded like a happy pop tune in his head.i understand im supposed to be wrong.

Dude Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Maybe they could auction off JC Brooks not playing that song. (I personally don't mind it.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dagwave Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 That version is fun - cool how he bumps a little "Theolgians" towards the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Is the Dude heading down to the show? i should try to make it... I definitely plan on it. Of course, every year I say I'm going, and every year a work-related emergency crops up. Try to go though, looks like Wendy, Maureen & Edie are going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

auctioneer69 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound Thanks for sharing. Fantastic - just what a great cover should be- different and good enough to make you appreciate a song in another way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

heather whinna Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hello friends. FYI Jeff will be auctioning off a private concert in your home for you and 29 friends during his performance. I hope to see y'all there. Hoping our event isn't getting old hat to you. At the very least Jeff is never "old hat".

Albert Tatlock Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 a private concert in your home for you and 29 friendsGeography makes me a completely disinterested party, but on behalf of those factions who may already exist or be gathering to participate, I thought I'd double-check: 'a' means 'one' this year? (entirely understandable and hopefully should therefore attract top dollar for the cause ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea of when Jeff will be performing? Not that I won't be there either way, I just work at 6 am now which makes this a little more difficult then when I was in collage.
