Up until 2:30 last night watching the greatest cover band in the universe, fronted by Mike LeCompt, play their usual summer Sunday gig at the Springfield Inn: they played too many songs to list-- Beatles, Stones, The Who (Baba O'Riley, Pinball Wizard, Love Reign Over Me, Behind Blue Eyes) Bruce, Elton John (Levon-- who covers that?) Billy Joel, La Grange, Hamilton, Joe frank and Reynolds-- Don't Pull Your Love, Brandy, You're So Vain, So Lonely, Tom Petty, Styx, Maggie Mae, Suspicious Minds,and many others, unrecoverable because of the alcohol, but I figured out their trick-- they play every song faster, heavier, and better than the original-- I don't like Elton John, but I like LeCompt covering Elton John.

Can't wait to see these guys live. Is he playing an acoustic set outside? If so, we have to get over there.
leave on? as in, 'leave on, and he shall be a good man'?
levon helm is pissed.
didn't check on the acoustic set, but he was playing it today. i have no idea what the name of the elton john song is-- is it levon? i will check. did recover another great song-- joe franklin reynolds-- don't pull your love
sorry. hamilton, joe frank, and reynolds. that's the worst name ever. and my knowledge of elton john is weak. LEVON.
