Open Mics of Recent – Round 2

I love The Gem. The other artists I see there are amazing. Audrey (the host) is a badass. And I owe special thanks to Savvy the GM and bartender extraordinaire for always being the biggest fan of us all. -She doesn’t know this, but her “ohowww” during Stay gave me back my memory and confidence to finish that piece after a few blunders. Then she finished it for me. Love them all.

First, Uniontown. A song about how Unions have lost themselves compared to the days of yester and how a weird incestuous relationship with both political parties have made is so. Rewritten from the 2001 version with more violence and more accuracy.

And this one is a cover. I am being brave putting this in here as I did not play it near as well as I did in practicing. But, holy shit was it fun to play. Moreover, the whole damn place was singing with me. I was a little distracted. But what an experience. Good times.

Both songs recorded Wednesday, November 8th, 2023, at The Gem in Spring City, Pennsylvania.
