First, as usual, the song: a cover version of Nirvana's Pennyroyal Tea.
Next, a disclaimer: The vocals are mixed kind of loud. The arrangement is pretty sparse. If you're not already a relatively big fan of my singing voice, or of questionable Nirvana covers, this might not be for you. :)
I'm attending a workshop in Eastern Washington this coming week, and have a free day in Seattle before heading there. I've done a little poking around and am hitting the Mariners game tonight, but I haven't made any music-related tourism stops yet (whether Viretta Park, the Sound Garden, or even the Aurora Bridge). Yes, I've also been doing some work. I decided to bring my brand-new travel guitar (a Washburn Rover) and figured as long as I was here I should commemorate it somehow.
So I banged out a quick version of the Nirvana song Pennyroyal Tea here in my hotel room. I liked In Utero a lot (better than Nevermind, actually), in particular this song. I never did get to see them, my best chance (in many ways) being when they played the dorm across the street during junior year at college. The guitar's not necessarily great for this sort of thing-- it's not deep so there's not a lot of bass. But it's the thought that counts, right?

I'm betting the Washburn is 'natural' color not one of those painted blue ones, eh?
Correct! It's natural, if only because that was because that was the only color not on back order...
