1st a Cappella performance!

[Nickie]

Last evening we had our monthly open mic in the Ohana, a beautiful Hawaiian style cafe.
Our theme was the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Rock Festival.
We were so jammed we were limited to 2 songs!
So I loved Janis Joplin, but can't sing in her style, so I got up solo and did the only Janis song I Know, Mercedes Benz. A very good bassist backed me up and I led the audience in the song, I had it stored in my memory. Most of them sang it, except for the really younger customers.
I'm not a great singer, but I belted it out in F as best I could, and got several compliments.
I didn't do a 2nd song, so we'd all have plenty of time. We did.

You gotta be booze sodden to do a real Janis sounding tribute........

She was a 'once in a lifetime' performer.......loved the way she used to belt out them songs.

[Bill Sheehan]

Awesome job, Nickie! And it was a good decision to keep it to the one song-- leave them hungry for more!

[arsomartinera]

U surely felt powerful on stage, i love Janis, Big Voice, and so much passion in her interpretations

“Oh lord won’t ya buy me a Mercedes Benz all my friends they drive Porsche’s I must make a menz”...........love it Nickie, great choice and good going.

Sorry that I didn't see this earlier. No one is ever going to sound like Janice Joplin, so just make it your own. Mercedes Benz is my warm up song. Love it.

[Nickie]

Thanks Dave. I growled it out as best I could!
First time I ever got the whole restaurant singing along...

[MarkBridges]

Wow, this is a good job!

Nice song choice "Mercedes Benz". The best part is when you get compliments from the audience, I mean, the feeling is just surreal.
