Sunday, January 12th another dream came true – I shared a stage with Zen. We all went to the Hard Rock Cafe was I was playing a short set at their open mic night (everyone gets 15-20 minutes). I did my first song, “Dead Flowers”, and then Zen came up with me to sing my next two songs, “You Are My Sunshine” and “Hotel California”. It was great – so many people were singing along to “You Are My Sunshine”… but only I knew all five verses.
Naoko and Zen and Oma and Opa went home earlier, I stuck around to watch Peter Fogarty, who played amazing original songs, and my friend Jae Lee, who played songs by Michael Penn, Elliott Smith, Big Star (!!!) and Oasis. Great great great!!! Mike was an awesome host, and a true gentleman. I had to leave during his jam – some nice harmonica work.
Great night. Great great great!!!
Here we are here we are...
You Are My Sunshine
Hotel California
