I just got word that something HUGE might be happening next Monday, March 31st. I wouldn’t make any bets on it, but given the time limit, we may be able to make something happen.

I know this sounds very vague, but again, I don’t want to make any promises. The one thing I’ll say is this: the date has significance!

Updates will come as I get them…

Good evening! Despite being down about my alumnus UConn losing to San Diego not too long ago, I am happy to bring you our latest Laptop Session. I hope today finds you enjoying your upcoming Easter weekend, and if you’re like me, glued to your TV set keeping up with the NCAA tournament.

Today I bring you another Wallflowers song, and my third session from their latest album “Rebel, Sweetheart”. It’s an extremely catchy track called “I Am A Building”. I always liked this song since I first heard it because of the catchy strumming pattern and drumbeat. Looking back on the writing of songs for my album, I think the strumming pattern from “Home” is inspired from this song.

It took me a few takes to get one I was happy with for this song. I actually had three versions, and the one I have selected is the most solid. This was take #17, and despite that, I still appear to be having fun with it!

Look for more additions to our series from Jim and me.

And as far as views are concerned, I expect to break 6,000 views tonight or tomorrow. Talk about an increase in viewership! Thank you so much to all loyal guitarbucketlist.com visitors.

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 origianal 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!

Good day to you out there on the internet! It’s Jeff here for today’s installment of The Laptop Sessions.

Today I bring you a great song from a band that is new to our series. The song is “Found Out About You” by the band Gin Blossoms. They have long since disbanded, but many of their hits still get plenty of airplay on the radio and this is a song you probably know quite well. This song is from their 1992 album “New Miserable Experience”.

I have always been a fan of their singles, and among them this ranks as my favorite behind “Hey Jealousy”. The issue with this song is that it doesn’t translate as well as I thought it would to acoustic. Still, I am proud of this version and I hope you enjoy it as much.

I can’t wait to see which song Jim breaks out of hiding for Original Wednesday!
