It's the 200th Out of the Bedroom on Thursday and they're asking people to perform cover versions of other OOTBers' songs...
I'd like to play a Lindsay West song, so I listened to her album and chose "Do As Others Do"...
One spookily pertinent line from the song is "learn to sing the phrase of someone else"...
I e-mailed her for permission and await a response but, in the meantime, I worked out the chords and wrote out the lyrics and then spent the evening (other than an hour out to watch "Life on Mars") learning the piece and recording a rough two guitar and four vocal demo of it on the computer - my first full recording session of 2006...
Of course whether I actually play it will depend upon (a) getting Lindsay's permission and (b) getting along early enough on Thursday to get a slot...
Stayed up till 1 am updating the diary quickly and posting a pic of the Fives Awards Night, which Guy le Comte kindly e-mailed to me, on to last Friday's entry ..
