I found a karaoke version of the song online to use as my backing track, then I recorded it at home, then sang it all over Austin. Had to mime it much of the time otherwise I would never have been heard (the scene at the Austin capitol building there was a preacher with a megaphone, so I could barely hear myself think, let alone sing...<br /><br />I wanted to get a shot of myself on a bus, but chickened out.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bmuk4cOUfGk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bmuk4cOUfGk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Jack Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02881874015595301582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154872999721174053.post-62196206323317481932009-02-06T06:37:00.001-08:002009-02-06T06:55:14.456-08:00ISWYG Day starts to go viral in AustraliaIt's been a slow but determined start for International Sing Wherever You Go Day in Australia.<br /><br />With a handful of members, the event rated a small mention in the nation's capital's daily broadsheet newspaper, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Canberra Times,</span> on Thursday 5 February 2009:<br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/OverheardProductions/ISWYGDay#5299265525935517538">http://picasaweb.google.com/OverheardProductions/ISWYGDay#5299265525935517538</a><br /><br />Groan! There was a better version in my Picasa site but it looks like there's been some corruption there and a couple of my albums have been cross-polinating. Sigh!<br /><br />Anyhoo, the <a href="http://www.canberramusiciansclub.org.au/">Canberra Musicians Club</a> are now planning an event on the actual day to coincide with our weekly performance night at the Hippo Bar in Canberra City. Check out the events listing for details. I'm not expecting everyone to jump on planes and head over here, but I'm sure you'll be with us in spirit, especially since some of you will only be starting your tuneful days as we're crooning our way towards a singalong-a-lot end.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=49716443187"><br />http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=49716443187</a><br /><br />Radio
