Laying down "Sweet Caroline" courtesy of Neil Diamond AKA 'The Jewish Elvis.' Not bad man. I actually bobbed my head back & forth & sang along. Intoxicated or sober nobody can screw that song up. 

I really admire anybody that goes on stage & makes folks forget about their problems for an hour or so. Kudos mi amigo! 

All my foolish antics aside, you know what you're doing up there & it takes guts for adults to embrace their rock star ego way back from their high school days. Cool. Besides, if you signed with a major record label, your manager would probably embezzle millions illegally from you, you'd fight over creative control of your master studio demos when your label wants you to become more radio friendly by changing your signature sound, sleeping on tour buses loses it's luster around 6 months; it sucks having to protect your voice all the time when it's your main meal ticket; & after awhile you just want some darn privacy without fans & reporters in your face all the time. 

All I'm saying is this: Worldwide fame isn't always a grand thing. So, just have a blast jamming with your friends in your spare time for kicks. SW1 is impressed Lolly. I mean that. No bull you know what. 

Not enough people appreciate metal either. I like bands courageous enough to give this genre a go. I say that because you have to have the right front man to cut thru the guitar solos & not get drowned out by them. Plus, the drummer & bassist are the cornerstone to any quality heavy metal act since they set the foundation. The cool thing about metal is this: Even if your microphones, speakers, & sound system sucks, gritty vocal quality adds to the mystique of metal. 

Established household name acts have the luxury of sound techs, drum techs, guitar techs, & lighting specialists which make anybody look & sound spectacular. Keep on rocking my man! 

I like that you took on different genres too. Metal, pop, rock, country etc. Good variety there which shows your versatility & fans like it because that don't feel pigeonholed. No square peg in a round hole dilemma. 

I'd actually buy your live version of "Take Me Home Tonight" & Ah Ha's "Take On Me" if they were available on You Tube. 

Nicely done Lolly!  Really top notch covers there. I'm being serious.
