Hope to Make it Through

Cliff and Danielle had to head back to Houston this morning and the rest of the band and I had to do a few songs this morning at a conference. We did fine with songs for people to sing along with, but they wanted us to do a Caedmon's song at the end.
This was not a good idea.
I don't sing lead on any of "the hits" (at least, not yet) so we tried the song Hope to Carry On. Our road manager, Kevin, played acoustic and sang harmonies. I've played this song hundreds of times, however, I always sing a harmony, not the lead. After three and half minutes of me starting a verse on one part only to squirrel down to hopefully find the other we were finished and walked off the stage.
If I were to sum up my vocal performance with a familiar three-word phrase it would have to be "puberty-strewn donkey".
Also, here is Cliff juggling and eating an apple. Thoughts on the U2 church to come...

wow, cliff is very talented..
I love it that he gets everyone riled up and tells them to hush. A trademark of a true P.K.
Dude, that had to suck. I never will forget at the first .net gathering when we decided to sing a bunch of old Caedmon's songs and my friend Sarah wanted me to sing all of Derek's parts. It was truly weird.
Why didn't you do "Bombay Rain"? That would have gone over well, I think. Who cares if it's not a hit? It's still a great song.
As for Cliff ... I love that man. I love him with the fire of a thousand suns.
It's good to know Cliff has a future as a carnie if that whole musician career thing doesn't work out.
Cliff looks like he's carrying a few extra LBs there. but dont tell him i said so.
the u2 church? oh this oughta be good!
Bry, that's so wrong. ;)
That was freaktastic.
Sniff... I can't access that video. Boo Hoo. I'll just have to trust that Cliff is more talented than me & my barre chords.
So why didn't you do "Bus Driver"?
I'll be going now...
"Puberty Strewn Donkey"? - Surely it could not have been that bad...
Right?
:-)

Dan...that was so bad.
Barre chords. Bus Driver. So bad.
So true. ;-)

It was the shirt I was wearing. I have not gained any weight! Bryan is a jerk! He told me one time that he would never give an omish person a ride because they stink! what a loser.
