Re: From yesterday's rehearsal
I remember when that tune came out. (I WANT MY MTV!) Annie Lennox has done some fine stuff since then. Great version, Great Playing! When your son came in w/ the harmony, I was like, "Whoa". (I wish I could sing).

Re: From yesterday's rehearsal
Olivier, I love your covers and originals but this cover was particularly well done. Very much a different feel and arrangement, and of course, the vocals are not Annie Lennox, but your vocals always rock! Loved this; thanks!
Thanks fo the good words. Sweet dreams is fairly simple and it took me ages to find a simple way to twist it around for the stick. We'll probably play it live for the first time tomorrow at the irish pub. (Stage fright already creepin'...)

Re: From yesterday's rehearsal
Nice! That was fun. Cool arrangement. I would love to see it when you guys have had a chance to play it out a few times and you are both really comfortable with it. Then it would be easy to see you really enjoying yourselves. Bravo!

You're right Luc, we still look like having a broom stuck somewhere
This was actually shot at the second rehearsal after learning the song. We had played it maybe 3 times right.

Re: From yesterday's rehearsal
A great song! Nicely done. Apparently Lennox wrote this in the back of a cab to the studio!
Captain Strings said, "the secret is that the hands are not doing 2 different things - they are doing one big interlocking thing". You can hear in this song *3* interlocking things - the offbeat lilt in Lennox's vocals being the third.
Nice work.
