Another mid-90s classic. Keeping up the pace!!

For Derek Abbotts.

Erica made a donation so I had to get on this one right away. She requested the unplugged version, so if it’s a little slower than you’d like, that’s why.

For Erica Lauridsen:  “This song is dedicated to my Aunt Marlene, who is currently fighting stage 4 brain cancer.”

I’m amazed that this is the first Barenaked Ladies song I’ve done, considering that I play most of their songs fairly constantly… but here it is…

SEND REQUESTS AND DONATIONS!! (Please)

I’m trying to get back on track to 200 here, but I really don’t have the requests to keep it going at full speed. So I’m doing songs that I like to sing…

Please send requests!!

Another somewhat ridiculous request that I was happy to oblige… From How I Met Your Mother (one of the greatest shows ever, although it’s starting to drag a litte, come on Ted! Meet her already!)… here’s Let’s go to the Mall, by fellow Canadian, Robin Sparkles.

For Kate Apperley

This was a request from a while back that I finally got to. The Ride is approaching in June, so I’m really going to have to pick up the pace…
And I’m sorry for the first line of the song… it’s rough

For Cheryl Hassert

This one actually has a legit dedication. According to a story Bono tells in concert, this was the last song Joey Ramone heard before he died of lymphoma, and in the words of Bono, “it suddenly turned this song about a hangover into a gospel tune.”

For Joey Ramone…

At this point I’m just singing songs I like… Once I get caught up on a few, new dedications are coming!

And now… a picture.

Getting the 200 Songs ball rolling again… with a song by Fastball… That you’ve probably not heard in a long time. (Yes, I know that I numbered them out of order).

Dedications will resume shortly, I assure you.

So after scrambling to make 50 by new years, I then took 3 weeks off to do… god knows what. At one point, however, we did make a trip to Blue Mountain where I had intended on getting at least a few songs done. Instead, I got one done… and it’s a little rough because [...]

In the effort to hit 50 before New Years, here’s another one from the Unicorn Sessions. Although, not originally Jimi Hendrix’s song, he did my favourite version. Happy New Year, everybody. May 2010 bring you all happiness, adventure, and prosperity.

This is for everyone battling any form of cancer in their life, in a literal or [...]

For a pretty simple song I’ve been singing my whole life, I couldn’t seem to hit the chords when I needed to… Ahh well, nobody said that there were going to be 200 GOOD performances Natalie, you can have a do-over! Keep the requests coming!

For Natalie Gorman: “Rumour has it that this was [...]

Because we all need friends to get through the tough times… Jackie requested this one.

For Jackie Westelaken:
“I’ve lost my mom, an uncle and sister-in-law to cancer and I am a two-time survivor asmyself (’00 and 05). Outside of the life saving drugs and treatment, I credit the kindness and support of friends and family as [...]

This has been one of my favourite unofficial Christmas songs since it came out.  It’s based on a true story from World War I when German and British soldiers called a truce on Christmas Eve 1914. They started singing songs, and exchanging gifts, instead of shooting each other. So, 95 years later, let us remember [...]
