http://music.metafilter.com/playlist/618 Songs from September 2007 created by hurdy gurdy girl en-us http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 me. This adorably sweet little song was written in 1928. I decided not to put any kind of modern spin on it, but to just sing it slow and straight. (Guitar by the always adorable Barry Zweig.)]]> http://music.metafilter.com/1039/If-I-Had-You tag:music.metafilter.com/playlist,2009:site.1039 Thu, 12 Apr 2007 13:16:26 -0800 http://music.metafilter.com/1433/Song-for-the-Mira tag:music.metafilter.com/playlist,2009:site.1433 Tue, 04 Sep 2007 16:47:42 -0800 http://music.metafilter.com/1100/Nobody-Knows-You-When-Youre-Down-and-Out-Guthrie-cover tag:music.metafilter.com/playlist,2009:site.1100 Thu, 10 May 2007 22:28:06 -0800 http://music.metafilter.com/1090/All-The-Things-You-Are-solo-acoustic-guitar tag:music.metafilter.com/playlist,2009:site.1090 Sun, 06 May 2007 20:24:21 -0800 http://music.metafilter.com/1372/The-Turret-Gunners-Farewell tag:music.metafilter.com/playlist,2009:site.1372 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 17:03:59 -0800 This Walter Donaldson/Gus Kahn composition was first featured in Florenz Zeigfield's 1928 Broadway musical Whoopee, starring Eddie Cantor & Ruth Etting, who took the song to #2 on the charts. In 1955, Doris Day starred in a biographical movie about Etting called "Love Me or Leave Me" & her updated rendition became a giant hit. Flash forward to 1967... Nina Simone turned this hokey old Ziegfeld tune into a completely reworked masterpiece of piano & voice (download link is at bottom). My own version (heard best live, I think) is definitely inspired by Nina's, but it could never compare to hers -- I just do my own thing & try to make it my own a bit. It's a fun song to do... audiences seem to love it. Incredible basswork once again provided by bass God Chris Conner. ]]> http://music.metafilter.com/778/Love-Me-or-Leave-Me-bassvocal tag:music.metafilter.com/playlist,2009:site.778 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 10:24:38 -0800 http://music.metafilter.com/1418/Bonnie-Blue-Eyed-Nancy tag:music.metafilter.com/playlist,2009:site.1418 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:18:48 -0800 (see song title) & just haven't found my niche/comfort zone up here yet. For a while, I was commuting down South to work on a CD but it got to be too difficult... so my musical life has been in limbo & this year I REALLY hope to change that. If you folks say you'd like to hear more mp3s, I do have some. And hey... if there's someone out there who would seriously like to collaborate with (or hire) this chick singer... I'm all ears and open to advice. I also take requests! :) I miss singing for people...
