MMJ Covers Compilation

[aMillionDreams]

I know I'm slacking on updates but I'm trying to rethink the comp.  Hardly anyone knows it's here and half the people who know, don't seem to care. I haven't updated it in over a year and you're the first person to say anything.  Well, other than BH who might take over my duties here.  Sorry for the lack of updates, but there is close to 6 CDs worth of covers here to tide you over until then.

You know I could really just post the total list of covers.  Everything that has been done since your efforts Dylan is either available at archive.org or not available at all I believe, so people can just ad whatever they want on their own.   Let me see if I can take a snapshot of my list and post it here as a picture.

Nice!  I guess I could just update it.  I was thinking about literally starting a new thread every week highlighting one of the covers from the comp.  The tracks would get more play but the new threads might get on everyone's nerves.

I'll just update the comp already.  I would like to cheat off your list though, BH.  You da man!  :)

That's better....

[aMillionDreams]

Thanks, BH!

I will add that, although it isn't a Sam Cooke song.

Sounds like the Triple J guy used my comp for his research. Sweetpickles.  8-)

Sayonara (Japanese Farewell Song)
by Tokie Tamaki & Club Nisei Orchestra 2006

[st. john]

           Various Artists:
Club Nisei



Description      Originally a fellowship club at a local high school, Club Nisei were the first Hawaiian-Japanese orchestra to begin performing in the post-World War II era - circa 1946. From humble beginnings, they began a meteoric rise - eventually becoming one of the top orchestras in the Territory of Hawai'i.

Months of detailed research and first-person interviews augmented by rare, previously unpublished photos resulted in liner notes that tell the story of their extraordinary leader ... Robert "Bob" Kojima - mentor, visionary, pioneer - working man, family man. It was Bob Kojima that founded the talent-incubating Club Nisei; he coined the name and lead the headlong charge into music.

In addition, the "liners" chronicle the history of the Japanese in Hawai'i placing Club Nisei's accomplishments in proper historical context.

Awesome collection.  I noticed a few that you are missing.  Check out 6-13-2008 Which stage @ Bonnaroo.  The boys played several covers including Hit it and Quit it, Hot Fun in the Summertime, Home Sweet Home, Get down on it, and a few more. I was actually there and it is the best live show I have ever seen (and I've been to A LOT of shows.)  You can find it at archive.org.

man it sucks that Jeremy wasn't recorded.

[aMillionDreams]

man it sucks that Jeremy wasn't recorded.

That was the one song on the list Jim asked me if I had.  He says he doesn't remember doing it and it may be the only one he might not want me to share.  When I told him Ger Potze said it was performed at Twice Told Coffee in 99 but not recorded he was relieved.  There are probably only 15 or so people who heard him do it.
