Well, record, I am so rusty, I did blow my kids away a couple of years ago.

Rock Band was a deal with them and none of them would sing, Mr. Mike was laying there all lonely and shit as they played along and I go, hey may I sing? there was a lot of eye-rolling. I did "Hard to Handle" by the Black Crows and "Fortunate Son" by Creedence, jaws were dropped, both songs are a reach for me as I am in the Jackson Browne / James Taylor register and on a good day I can pace David Crosby as a backup singer, always reaching. I grew up singing to the AM radio, had no shame.
