Welcome to another edition of Original Wednesday! It’s Jeff Copperthite bringing you another song from the original libraries of us here at Fusco-Moore Productions.

Today I bring you a Quilt song from 2002’s EP “Blanket of Death”. It’s a humorous title for sure, as the songs are not nearly as dark as the EP title implies. You can hear 2 of the 4 songs at my albums page.

I am performing the song “Burning Through” from that EP. It is a wonderful song and I have been addicted to the guitar progression ever since Scott taught me the song. I am happy to add it to our expansive library at The Laptop Sessions.

This is also my 40th Laptop Session!

I am very close to 7k views, and I should cross that line sometime today or tomorrow. I can’t wait to reach 10K views hopefully by the end of the month.

I’m also a proud owner of Homestead’s Revenge – please check it out at Mou Music! Or click the store link at the top of the page! It is an incredible piece of work, and your ears will be blown away.

You the viewers make it possible! Please visit https://www.guitarbucketlist.com and support us!

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up.  We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session.  We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and original music blog again in the future.  But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!

“Whatever I Fear” (Toad the Wet Sprocket Cover)

Welcome to Sunday’s edition of the Laptop Sessions, and I am VERY excited about this upcoming week. A lot will be happening over the course of the next 7 days, but in all of it we will continue to provide you with a new session every day, and as we roll onto the week all of our sessions will be from bands each of us have never did a session for.

Our first entry to this mini series is a song from a little known band named “Toad the Wet Sprocket”. The band is known for singles such as “Fall Down”, which still may make an appearance in future sessions. But for now, I will do a song from their last album before their breakup “Coil”, the song “Whatever I Fear”.

This song is the album opener, and the album itself is full of introspective melodies, including this one. If you have a chance to listen to it you’ll find a few songs on it that really stand out. The singles that were released didn’t chart except for the song “Come Down”, and the album is probably the least known of theirs.

Regardless, I bring to you “Whatever I Fear”. I hope you enjoy it, and remember my new album “Greenlight” is coming out next Sunday!! I hope you find your way over to the Fusco-Moore Store and take a listen, and perhaps a purchase, of my new album.

“These Streets” (New Music by Indie Music band MoU)

Welcome to your Original Wednesday edition of The Laptop Sessions. Today I bring you another great original song from “Homestead’s Revenge” by Masters of the Universe.

I am bringing you the song “These Streets”, a live favorite. I have noticed lots of heads bobbing when we play this song live, and this will be among the songs we are going to play live this coming Friday at George’s II restaurant. I really love the riff of this song, and I was very happy to receive permission to record it for the sessions.

I really tried to belt this one out on an acoustic. It really is meant to be an electric guitar song, but I think this version does kick it quite well. It also runs perfectly in the album, and the harmonies work perfectly in the recording. If you have not checked out “Homestead’s Revenge”, you really do need too.

Track 1 week continues tomorrow with another song by Jim, so be sure to come back for that!

“In Dreams” (Roy Orbison Cover)

Welcome to another terrific Thumpin’ Thursday edition of The Laptop Sessions. Today I bring you a new artist, and the next entry into our “Title Track” series. This also goes out by request from Rory, so thanks for this request!

Roy Orbison becomes our latest artist to enter our library and I am covering the title track from Orbison’s 1963 album “In Dreams”, naturally titled “In Dreams” (Yeah, like I needed to type that twice). This is a great mellow song, has a unique structure (read: none), and showcases Roy’s incredible range and voice. Orbison really had a gift and I am glad that future generations like me get to experience his music over and over like this.

I definitely want to cover more of Roy’s work in the near future. It really is amazing how many songs are by him that float around the radio stations.

Title track week continues tomorrow with Jim’s 2nd pick, then closes on Saturday with Chris’ 3rd pick (including his AWESOME original Wednesday pick from yesterday). Be sure to keep coming back as we approach the halfway mark of session-a-day!
