Steemit Open Mic week 103 - Singing in my sleep

in openmic •  6 years ago 

This is my entry for the Open Mic contest run by @luzcypher. Please support other entries you will find in the comments of that post.

Somehow I missed week 102. Not sure what happened there, but it's been a busy time musically. It's a long time since I missed a week. This is my 64th entry.

I heard this song a lot on the radio in 1998 on my drive to work and I liked it enough to buy the album Feeling Strangely Fine by Semisonic. I've played it at the pub where I whistle to handle the keyboard riff that crops up at various points in the song.

I apologise for my loud cough in the intro, but I'd already had a couple of attempts at recording this video.


Meet me at SteemFest 2018 in Kraków

I'm Steve, the geeky guitarist.

Wow Steve, you missed a week....must have been very busy then. Can't recall a single time you missed one.... b.t.w great job again !! I am going to make some music this week with my brother, he plays the drums . Looking forward to it...

I think it was a combination of band practice and Tele Tuesday meant I forget about open mic. At least I was meaning music anyway

:) Exactly, music it is .....

Great cover! It is funny because most people really only know the song closing time by them. It was such a great song it makes you wonder why they didn't get a little more playtime in the US. I would think they should have had at least two hits...

The album is really good. I like their lyrics

I forgive the cough. But no sneezes!
Nice work man. I’d drink at the pub while you play =)

I remember hearing that song all the time on the radio. I never knew who sang it, and the name "Semisonic" means nothing to me.

It's so weird to feel you know a thing, then realise you know so little about it. It's a nice song.

Speaking of ukuleles, I got mine today from Amazon. It's a Brunswick concert ukulele. I hope I can tune it and learn to play, and join open mic myself one day. :)
