We Can Steal Time...

We played the Open Mic in our hood last night. We did two covers. We collaborated with an extraordinary singer who lives down the block named John. We were well-rehearsed and we totally rocked the audience. We basked in the rousing applause.

First we did Soul Kitchen sort of in the Patti Smith tempo...



And then we closed with David Bowie's Heroes. Someone told me we made it sound like a Gospel Classic (three voices, an acoustic guitar and a tambourine). During the call and response, when our three voices found flight, I felt a tingle shoot up my spine - ecstasy! What an absolutely great freaking song...
