Welcome to another Triple Threat Tuesday edition of the Laptop Sessions, as Jeff, Chris, and I all bring you this great tune from the Wallflowers- “Everything I Need”.

It’s funny how much I love “Red Letter Days” but never could get into any of their other albums. I love the hooks and the rockin’ sound on that album- I’ll be doing other songs off of it soon including my favorite: “How Good It Can Get”.

We’re going to see the Wallflowers for the first time in a few weeks- check the blog at https://guitarbucketlist.com to read our reviews of the concert!

I did this song in ONE take- which is a very rare occurrence. I’ve always liked how simple this song is, but still incredibly catchy.

I have SO many songs I can’t wait to premiere for everyone, as I’ve been trying to get as many Sessions done as possible so I can continue work on my two new album projects.

These videos are only three in a series of acoustic cover songs here on the Fusco-Moore Productions Blog.

Jeff’s Version is unfortunately no longer on YouTube…but here’s:

Chris’ Version

Video Blog Site Update: A message from Cliff…via his “last” journal entries

Hello everyone. Some bittersweet news today, as the Fusco-Moore suite of websites are finally done (albeit with a few changes still needed)! The bittersweet part? Well, I happened upon my basement and saw Cliff lying in a heap a journal entitled “Diary of a Web Designer”. I thought I would share its final entries with you:

Diary of a Web Designer

Feb 8 2008: Jim sent me his design for the Fusco-Moore Music site. I told him I’d get it working when I had time. What a sap – bought it, hook, line, and sinker.

Feb 21 2008: Jim asked about progress of the site. I told him I was working on it. Back to playing “Portal” for me!

March 7 2008: I woke to a painful head in a darkened room. I’ve been chained to a desk with only this laptop and a bucket. I get periodic feedings via a dirty plate, and after some time, learned that Jim has me hostage to get his damn site done. Honestly, did I really deserve this?

March 12 2008: I’ve lost quite a lot of weight from being down here, but the sites are getting done. According to the news, my family stopped looking for me… 4 days ago. I can’t communicate with them though… Jim has those ports blocked. But I seem to be doing fine. I’m a little itchy, but doing OK.

March 13 2008: I just discovered a huge rash on my foot, and I itch all over badly. It’s hard to get these sites done with the constant itching. Soon… they will be done soon… I hope Jim brings me the ointment he promised for the itching.

March 17 2008: I think Jim forgot about me, because the site is nearing completion, but my rashes have gotten worse. Not only do I itch ridiculously at this point, but also my body is hot and sweaty all the time. I started to scratch one of my rashes, and some rotten flesh fell off. What the hell’s happening to me!?

March 21 2008: Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat trackball.

March 23 2008: Itchy itchy Chris came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.

25 / / Itchy. Tasty.

And that’s how the journal ended. Someone should probably check on Chris… Well, this post should get two points across: get stuff done quickly and don’t become a web developer!

Tasty…

Video Blog Site Update: BIG Event Possibly Coming Next Week…

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…

“Let Us Go On This Way” (Beach Boys Cover)

Okay, tonight’s song goes out by request, as there’s been an outcry for songs from “Love You”, the Beach Boys album that’s lauded as one of Brian Wilson’s most personal efforts, especially after the “Pet Sounds” period. Next week’s Beach Boys song will be another from this album: “The Night Was So Young”.

This song, “Let Us Go On This Way”, is a rockin’ tune that starts off the album. Carl Wilson’s great vocals and crazy synthesizers are notable parts of the original.

This was a lot of fun to do acoustically, and I’ve always loved the message of this song. It’s unfortunate that the band really didn’t “go on that way” much longer after this album. Dennis died a few years later, and before that, they started becoming the “greatest hits band” they are today. At least Brian Wilson is still keeping the faith and making (great) new music now!

I hope you all enjoy this and I hope you’ll rate it!
