alice (by tom waits)

[Morgan Ellington]

I tried this song one day when I had a cold and could actually sing it in the original key. Once I got over my cold I had to transpose up a few steps. It's a really fun song to play so I thought I'd share it. Piano from my Yamaha PSR shows why I'm shopping for a new keyboard, I had to roll off some high end to get rid of hiss. No midi sequencing.
The bass sound is kind of interesting, I don't have an upright (and couldn't play it if I did) -- so I mic'ed my hofner hollowbody as an experiment.

A very maudlin, bluesy kind of tune, but very nicely done. If I were capable of singing and playing it I think I'd have done it an octave lower though.

Kudos.

Hey you have a cool voice, the rawness is great.
