LIVE IN YOUR FACE !

[SteveO]

I recently witnessed a live acapella version of the song Some Kind Of Wonderful ! It was sung by two elderly guys on the street. It moved me to tears.

I never really liked the song by Soul Brothers Six or Grand Funk Railroad (a total sellout!).

But their version was unbelievable ! I wish I had filmed it.

I am a big fan of live in the flesh music. Have any of you had a similar experience from amateur performers ?

Kinda. There’s a boy in a band in the same school of rock as my daughter – they had their end of year concert recently – he must be sixteen and he sounds just like Grace Slick. Astonishing voice - so different. Also – he plays a mean guitar, upside down and left handed. I swear – it’s strung the way a right hander would play it – he just turns it over and carries on regardless. Remarkable.

There’s a lot of busking and singing around here – some truly awful, but there are some good moments too. Once got accosted by a fruit and veg packer in a supermarket who had entered some competition or other and insisted on singing “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” at me, which he did rather well! Lol!!
