I managed to snag some tickets to see Sam Roberts on April 21 here at the New Capital Music Hall. I am stoked. Tickets were only $10.69 for the first 100 to purchase them. Awesome! You can’t go wrong with that price! Those 100 tickets sold out in 10 minutes (unfortunately for Carrie who missed the train by a minute).
What can I say about S.Roberts? His new album comes out on April 11. A concert 10 days after that. I cannot go wrong.
In other news, I’m learning You are My Sunshine on guitar as my Nanny’s birthday party is coming up. I was having trouble finding an authoritative source on how this should sound but it looks like it’s an old folk song (from what I can tell at least…let me know if I’m wrong and I can find THE source.) Found some old Johnny Cash covers that maybe I’ll work with.
Or, maybe I”ll just throw some Palmer spin into it and sample some Beastie Boys along with it.

You should learn how to play I’m walkin’ on sunshine… WHOA-OH!
Hey, I actually know that one. It’s fun to play.
I personally think You’ve Got to Fight, for your right, to paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaartay!!! would be better for the party.
I think that if you listen to the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack you will hear a very authentic version of this song.
