OT: Jaco Rock Opera

[LisaIs]

The subject of Jaco reminded me of singing on a two CD rock opera about the life of Jaco. It was the brain child of one cat named "Eric E" and he got a bunch of folks from the Charlottesville music scene to sing parts. I believe Eric E was a talented guy but lets face it, no matter how you slice it..... this has comedic value.

I will get a kick out of the comments on this. You can't hurt my feelings. I just did it for fun and my payment which was a gold plated badass guitar bridge.

This song is Jaco "Eric E" and myself as Jaco's first wife Tracy.

............ This song is tame. I really should post one of the downright bizarre ones.

Aww Lisa honey you sound great!

*is very jealous*

I would certainly be interested in hearing some of the more bizarre ones though!

Your voice reminds me of the lady who sang the "Whole New World" duet in Aladdin.

Leah Salonga IIRC.

And the girl in Lucy's Fur Coat who's name escapes me ATM.

Beautiful voice, Lisa! I kind of fail to see the comedic value...sorry...a bit cheesy and sappy, for sure, though ;-)

 

[LisaIs]

Thanks you two. Singing is the only part of music that came effortlessly ...... funky bass playing is another matter. I should pray for the funk.

Ok, this one is pretty strange. Oh and he changed the names of the wives.... not sure why. So Tracy was Stacy.

Thanks wasabi. The cheese which you will see in the second tune is the comedic value.

Lisa, your voice is so lovely! I'd love to see you in action.

 

[LisaIs]

Thank you Alva. I would like to hear more of you on that Bongo.

Fabulous voice, Lisa!!

Fabulous voice, Lisa!!

Thanks Sharon! I guess the upside is... if I can't be a bass prodigy, I can sing about someone who is.
