Tweet Of The Day

Mikey Welsh is the former bassist for the band Weezer.  He played on their "Green" album.  He tweeted the following on September 26th.  A second tweet said, "correction - the weekend after next".

He was found, dead, Saturday in a Chicago hotel room by hotel personnel, after he didn't check out of his room.  He was in town to watch his former bandmates perform Sunday night at Chicago's RIOTfest.  According to CNN, cause of death is yet to be determined, pending autopsy.

Video: 'Goodnight Irene'

To close out the weekend, I thought it would be nice to play one of my all time favorite tunes.

This was recorded Saturday night at O'Flaherty's, in NYC's Restaurant Row.  As Hurricane Irene was approaching, a group of Broadway performers had gathered to sing...and drink the night away.

The video's performers are Alex Harvey on guitar, and Chris "Mr. Sullyphane" Sullivan on ukulele and vocals.  Sullivan is currently on featured in 'Chicago' as Amos Hart.

Pay close attention to the improvised lyrics in verses three and four.  Very nice.  Enjoy.
