The music continues!
If you missed them be sure to check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

This week I've got two more cover songs to share with you! And if anyone has any good suggestions for future covers I'd love to hear it! First up this week I have a suggestion from my buddy who lives out in Kentucky. I go back into the late 80's and cover a sad, but beautiful song by Tracy Chapman called 'Fast Car'. I had to play it 3 steps lower than Tracy does because I have a fairly deep vocal range, but after quite a bit of practicing I managed to pull it off!

Up next is a song that I learned a little while back for my friend in Indonesia. I hate to keep the depressing vibe going, but it's yet another sad and beautiful song. Next time I'll try to find some more upbeat songs. But today I'm playing 'You Are The Reason' by Calum Scott.
