Although the ride was a month ago, I’m still going to post songs. This weekend I was camping with some buddies at Presqu’il and this is what we could manage around the campfire.

Featuring Duncan Bush.

WE DID IT!

Okay, so I didn’t finish 200 songs before the ride. However, I did the ride, and we finished all 217km of it! Here is Team Eradicator crossing the finish line in Niagara Falls.

And yes, I’m going to keep going with the songs… at least until I hit 200.

#73 – The Real Damage – Frank Turner

I’ve had a few nights like the ones described in this song… and Greg was responsible for most of them.

For Greg Valiquette.

#72 – Time in a Bottle – Jim Croce

Here’s another one… I did a late push for donations, and a lot of new requests came with it.

For Mike and Dawn Johnston: “Dedicated to all our family and friends that have dealt with and are dealing with cancer now.”

#71 – Annie`s Song – John Denver

The Ride is only a few weeks away now, and while I won’t get to 200 before then I’m going to keep going. I’ve raised the minimum $2,500 so every thing is officially a “go.” This request came from my sister, for our mom.

From my sister Diana, to our mommy.

#70 – Friend of the Devil – Grateful Dead

I was listening to Skeletons in the Closest this afternoon and was reminded that I like to sing this song… even though I forgot how to speak at one point towards the end. Those aren’t real words!

#69 – Please Please Me Like You Want To – Ben Harper

admin — Mon, 17 May 2010 19:57:08 +0000

I had a bit of time today… so here’s some. Now with no hair! Ben Harper usually does this a bit slower, but I rocked it up a bit.

For Me. Because I like this song.

#68 Long December – Counting Crows

Although Alicia had requested several other songs, they were generally ones I didn’t know how to play, and were tough to learn (although I’m getting there on some). So when I got a text asking for this one… it went straight to the front of the line.

For Alicia Kenworthy.

#67 – New York, New York – Frank Sinatra

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 19:05:53 +0000

Now that I’ve sent out another mass email, I expect some more request to come in… this was the first. Please donate!

For Josh Grunberg – “For my grandmother Anne Mirsky, who passed away from lung cancer a couple years ago.”

#66 Father to Son – Cat Stevens

Tom also sent some other requests…

For Tom Butters… captain of the Eradicators riding team.
