Documenting all my musical moves: The Lead, Frank's Enemy, solo stuff

Julio Rey: The Hardest Part (live, Coldplay cover – YouTube vid)

Coldplay was a nice surprise to this jaded middle-aged man that I am. I’m no big fan of U2, but somehow I love these guys that are a semi-blatant imitation of that self-righteous overblown pompous Irish band (with a little “easy listening” style piano thrown in for good measure). Coldplay’s music is bubblegum for the 21st century, and I mean that as a compliment. So anyway I did this semi-punked up version of one of their ballads at church today, mostly because that was all my chops could accomodate with 20 minutes of practice the night before (like all good bubblegum, this band’s music can be played by most anybody in a few minutes). Filmed at International Church of South Florida by one Jon Doozan.  June 14, 2009.
