In honor of my friend Rich, whom I found on Friendster last week: a Poison cover.

Unskinny Bop [MP3, 2.9MB]

This was recorded during my freshman year at college at one of my dorm’s quarterly “coffeehouse” events. This recording is ten years old! Accompanying me on the guitar is my older brother John. I may have been holding a guitar for show, but I don’t believe I made any kind of noise with it.

Fun things to listen for:

• Is my voice cracking, or am I singing out of my range? Stop! You’re right twice!
• Guess which line I forgot!
• Try to find the exact moment of the song where the crowd loses interest in singing along!
