WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The World Series Show” – 2000

By WCJM Free Internet Radio:

The Subway Series.  Every New York baseball fan’s worst nightmare.  Everyone was getting on the World Series bandwagon, so WCJM free Internet radio decided to also.  This show came on the night of game 1 of the series, and had the regular cast back of Chris, Jim, Mike, Alberto, and Dave after the 3/5 cast of the Comedy Show.

This is the first Moore Hits in the Morning program to be recorded digitally on an MD, and the sound quality is impeccable.  All the songs have a theme that intertwines with the World Series.  For instance, the Mets’ motto is “You gotta believe”, and the song “I’m a believer” by the Monkees was played.

Probably the most significant part of this show was a tribute done by Dave for the victims of the USS Cole, playing a song in their honor.

But the newest addition to the WCJM family made his first appearance on the show.  A little, cute, stuffed bear named Stuffy the Bear.  Well, he made a four and a half minute clip and instantly made the whole cast uproar in laughter.  Making fun of everyone on the show, it was a non-stop laugh riot that would appear on all future shows.  Stuffy has entered the building!

This ground-breaking episode is one of many available at no charge through the WCJM free Internet radio website!

“Crazy Life” (Toad the Wet Sprocket Cover)

By Jeff Copperthite:

Welcome to your Saturday night fever edition of The Laptop Sessions!  Today I bring you another return engagement with a band previously featured on the sessions, and it is a great song.

The band is Toad the Wet Sprocket (and again, don’t ask – I’m not too sure where that name came from either), and today I am covering another song from their final album “Coil” (well, I should now say their most recent release) called “Crazy Life”.  It is a simple, yet catchy tune with a great strum pattern.  The lyrics are quite interesting and I still have not fully understood what they mean.  There are a few historical references you’ll hear though.

It is appropriate that I am doing this song today.  I really had a “Crazy Life” kinda day, where I ejected only my 2nd coach in my 2 year umpiring career.  It takes a lot to get to me, and if you go onto my ejection list, you must’ve done something wrong.  Baseball coaches, if you are reading this, do not argue balls and strikes – unless you’re looking for an excuse to go home.

I hope you enjoy today’s session, and I know you will be back to see Jim’s latest installment of the sessions.  We’re rolling along as usual!  Seeya next time!

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!

Well, I was hoping my next post a) wouldn’t take so long, or b) would be about something else, but here goes.

Corporate bigwigs can go play in traffic.

I’m specifically talking about the hooligans at Cass County Music, who recently have filed a copyright infringement complaint about my cover of The Eagles’ song “Best of My Love” https://guitarbucketlist.com/best-of-my-love-eagles-cover/. If you go to Youtube and try to watch this video, you are out of luck.

However, watching it through this site still works somehow.

But anyway, seriously. Why the heck would a company not want you to watch user created covers of these songs?

What’s next? No more cover bands at lounges unless royalties are paid for each song played?

It’s pretty ridiculous. I even got a Youtube email saying that further copyright infringements may lead to account banning.

Whatever. I’ll deal. You guys that come to our site are so wonderful that I am not going to take down my 170 video catalog just because one guy in a ten gallon hat in a shack thought my cover version somehow was causing them to lose money.

Hopefully it won’t be a big deal.

“Long Long Time” (McGuinn, Clark, & Hillman Cover)

Happy fantastic Friday to you! It’s Jeff Copperthite with – yet again – another new band. That’s twice this week! It must be an unofficial “new bands” week here at guitarbucketlist.com.

While today the band isn’t “new” person-wise to the sessions, it still counts. The band is three members of the Byrds Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, and Chris Hillman. I am covering their song “Long Long Time” from their self-titled 1979 album. It is a short and sweet song. Very easy to play, very easy to bop your head too.

I first heard of this trio thanks to (who else) Jim Fusco. He played a song from this band on our very first show to our better halves called “BSYNHO”, which stands for “Best Show You’ve Never Heard of”. We even sound it out. I’ve been digging into these shows the past few months or so for songs I can cover. I’m at the point where i’ve covered most of my favorite songs, so now I have to dig a little deeper to make it through the final 5+ months of Laptop-Session-a-day. Glad I found this one, and I hope you are too.

Stay tuned this weekend for the next acoustic cover song by Jim Fusco. He never waits a long long time between his videos!
