Too darn fast

[ericcoleman]

So, I was talking earlier about doing songs too fast, so what did I do tonight.

I played almost everything too fast

Standards - the best of the lot, only a little too fast
Hey Dad - Just about right
How Can I Miss You ??? - TOO fast
Bang My Bald Spot - manic

still, got a great response from the audience.

Now I'm too wired to sleep

Okay, so I know that I am just starting off and you are actually good at this, but I am playing too fast too. Any suggetions, hints, blah blah? I don't think that "Leaving on a Jet Plane" was intended for punk rock speeds.

Me First And The Gimme Gimmes do an excellent version of Leaving On A Jet Plane.

As for the rest, just don't let the adrenaline take control.

i thought it was pretty good last night. but i always enjoy your songs. i do have a question though, i own one of your cd's, and would like to purchase the other. i will not be at open mic night for awhile, so if i send one of my minions, would that be acceptable? i own "some see the glass half empty". thanks.

I suppose that the tempos are fine for a 4 song set, but if I am going to do an hour show, I'd never survive.

The other CD is an EP called Fear And Self Loathing In Central Iowa. Have whoever you are going to get it for you remind me it's for you and it's 2 bucks. I usually charge 5, but I only charge 2 for someone who owns Glass since it has two of the same songs. When the next CD comes out I will have rerecorded 3 of the 4 (albiet in different versions)
