Local rock stars share tips on making it in the biz during the last CRUMBS Nite Out mixer... where a certain soul rocker kicked a solo-acoustic set as the featured performer.

Why Can't I Be You?

Wondering what I covered Friday night at the "Why Can't I Be You" show?

"Immunity," by the great Katie Haverly.

Didn't get a recording of the actual set... maybe I'll post an MP3 of the rehearsal.

And to hit the Way Back Machine, here's a list of the artists and songs I've destroyed over the years:

1. (2001)
Rosanne Raneri "I Won't Show Me"

2. (2003)
Super 400 - "Cause"
Matthew Loiacono - "Mission"

3. (2005)
Dan Wilcox - "Baghdad/Albany" (poem)
MotherJudge - "Woman of Mystery"

4. (2006)
John Powhida/The Rudds - "F-sharp over C"
Troy Pohl/Kamikaze Hearts - "Tornadoes"

5. (2008)
Katie Haverly - "Immunity"

And here's the pretty photo documentation.

• Why Can't I Be You 4
• Why Can't I Be You 3
• Why Can't I Be You 2
• Why Can't I Be You 1

(Sorry... I gots nothing from Show #5.)

Cheers y'all,
