Reply To: Covers of JoCo songs
Thanks again for getting me out there, Spiff. It’s a strange kind of compliment to get all these WoW fans subscribing to my little channel!
Also, thanks to Leighdf I have now realised that I absolutely have to play Still Alive if I am to join the JoCo cover crowd as a full member. Don’t know why I left it so long.

So far I have little nuggets of three distinct plausible versions: the Burt Bacharach ballad, the straight bossa nova, and the self-indulgent jazzy rubato corner-piano-noodling (think I’ll go for the latter if it lets me). And then it also makes a hilariously overblown romantic piano concerto cadenza…
