We had an Easter Monday Jam with the Posse of Wonderful (variously called Law of the Sea, The Night Terrors, Grown Man Cry, or Hey Let’s Play Some Music.)
In amongst all the Beatles etc, one of the tracks was a version of Sinnerman, which I find is a spiritual made popular by the Weaver’s long before Nina Simone got to it. Our version of it rocked out at about seven minutes, still well short of her epic version.
In the same mood and the same key, we did a bang up job of Blue Boy”s Remember Me, that 90′s dance hit with the sample from Marlena Stewart’s Woman of the Ghetto.
I find that my wife, despite not being at all a woman from the ghetto, can really pull off quite a believable version of this. I have had it in my head ever since.
Our version was actually much better than this…
Here’s the original Marlena Stewart live track. Our version was not much better than this. How could you be?
