Hey, y'all. I'm Jeff, the guy from the video.
First of all, thank you for the kind words. It's one thing to hear compliments from friends and family, but reading them in this forum is a whole different story.

Love, heart and soul...
that is why I started this monthly project. My goal is to pay tribute to the albums and artists that have struck a chord with me. These aren't albums that I had to learn for the YouTube vids - though there are always a few songs that need work in the days leading up to recording. I'm glad people enjoy the performances, and maybe some folks get turned on to artists/albums they hadn't previously heard.
As for the burp: oops...and hahaha! It crossed my mind to stop playing and start over, but I was too far along. And I lost my voice at that point, thus the missing "I'm catching ooooon" at the end of the song.
If anyone is in central NC, you can catch me playing/recording Whiskeytown's "Strangers Almanac" this Saturday in Raleigh at the Berkeley Cafe. Yep, I'm doing the next album in front of an audience.
