I am also a big Bonnie Raitt fan...
This is "Love Me Like A Man", which is a bluesy, ass kicker of a song... Watching this video makes me wish I could play guitar. Maybe it's time I learned.
In any case, this is my version, which is more like the album version than Bonnie's live rendition. I usually sing this song drunk, but I was pretty sober when I did this recording.
The video is again photos from Europe. They have nothing to do with the music.
Yesterday, I also did some experimenting with Audacity, which is an open source music editing software program. I was using it because I had an instrumental recording of the song "Bill" from Showboat. It was in a key I was capable of doing, but a little higher than I really wanted to sing it in. I was able to easily lower the key in Audacity. It turned out relatively well, though I could probably do it better if the recording was better. For some reason, changing the key seemed to distort it a bit.
I didn't put this on YouTube because it's kind of personal. Yes, the photos are of "my Bill".
I think I like recording with Garage Band better than Audacity, though Audacity seems to be somewhat easier to figure out and use. What I like about Garage Band is that the interface is more professional looking and the mic amplifies with it. Also, I don't have to download as many plug-ins with Garage Band.
This is turning into a fun hobby. I like to sing for myself and Bill... and for anyone else who happens to enjoy what I'm doing.
