Cover Your Friends Songs

Cover Your Friend's Songs
It will help them out and your audience will love it
Calling all musicians! Yes you!
Cover your friend's songs. Tell everyone how great they are.
I noticed when attending concerts that most bands play some originals and some covers. Some play all originals or all covers. This applies to you too.
I'm great with bands playing originals. Do your own thing. And I understand that musicians include cover songs because a) they like the songs and b) it's nice to play some music the audience already knows.
My guess is all these musicians have friends who write good songs. I know I do. Could be someone they played with before and they already know the song. Could be a friend who plays in another band and you have there CD with original songs on it. Could be someone you barely know on the internet who has a youtube video of a song they wrote that you really like.
So take the time to learn the song. Rehearse it a bit. And then be full of praise when you introduce the song.
Here's an example of me practicing what I preach. Tracks 8-11 are the ones that I'm talking about.

Try it. Your audience will love it.
