Substack Sessions Cover

A project needs a cover art or logo. How do you like mine? The weird thing is, I went through so many apps and filters that I probably can’t recreate it anymore even if I wanted to. It was simply trial and error, yes or no, do I like it or not.

Number two from my new Substack Sessions is definitely a number one song in my repertoire - Big Yellow Taxi - YouTube Music | Apple Music

My version is somewhere in-between the original written by Joni Mitchell and Counting Crows’ heavy rotation radio version - YouTube Music | Apple Music

Here’s my version I recorded many years ago.

And this one’s from the ‘Start Your Day With A Song’-series on my YouTube channel:

All these versions and Joni Mitchell’s original recording show that a good song can get quite some mileage on its tachometer.

That’s the beauty of #livemusic. You’ll never know how this song will sound the next time you perform it. Your mood, the weather or maybe the message you got just before your gig can really mess with your mind while you’re performing a song at a concert. It’s a living and breathing animal. Enjoy and stay tuned for next week!

And if you like my performance of - Big Yellow Taxi - and you want to listen to it on Spotify | YouTube Music, you can do so starting January 10th 2025.
