Saturday In The Weeds, #4: Have A Little Mercy...Mercy...Mercy

 

 

UPDATE:
I received an email from Peter with an additional 20 songs in our repertoire that I had somehow forgotten. They are now included in the list at the bottom...for the two of you who care.

 

From June of 2014, please show a little mercy for The Hard Copies as they warm up with "Mercy Mercy Mercy." 

This was the second time we tried this. The first was the week prior when Mark Zeray started playing the chords to check the levels on his amp, and bassist Peter Roaman just followed along. 

We would try anything once, and sometimes only once. 

Only three rules:
1. Let's Try It
2. Make Sure It's Not Terrible
3. If It's Not Fun, Let's Toss It

Thanks Peter for digging this one out of the weeds.

We tried it. It wasn't terrible. And man, that's a fun one to play.

I could never play Cissy Strut well enough for public viewing.
But thanks for asking.

Your list prompted me to go back and look at old mp3's and videos cause i didn't remember doing some of those so here's a few more. Some one takes others well others. Please excuse the punctuation and spelling and not being in alphabetical order

Every Breath You Take
Time won’t let me
I can see clearly now
Green river
Here comes that rainy day feeling
More than I can do
Oh lonesome me
Heartbreak hotel (as a country tune)
Night life
Feel a whole lot better
Game of love
Darlin’ be ho soon
Stepping stone
You are my sunshine
Pushing so hard
See see rider
Tonight the bottle let me down
Lowdown
Kicks
Blue Xmas
