Steemit Open Mic Week #51: "Cherry Hill" (Creepshow cover song)
I haven't made an Open Mic entry in weeks, so this is a very last-minute cover song that I threw together. I'm pretty tapped out on music since I haven't had the time to get together and jam with my buddies. I'm literally sitting in a closet for this video, and I had to be quiet so I didn't disturb my kiddos and my husband! But I love the Steemit Open Mic community and I like to participate when I can! So this is what I have for Week 51 :)
Thanks for listening!
Yaaaaas. So much yaaaas. I love it. I love this so hard. I wanted to wail the background vocals along with this.
Glad you see you're feeling better enough to play us some jams!
It almost felt wrong to sing it solo!!! We all need to gather with some drinks on a porch or by some water and sing our drunken hearts out... and soon! ;)
Wowzers, such a delight to listen to. I had no idea of the open mic community on Steemit. I just happened across it in my feed. I'll definitely be back to listen.
It's one of my favorite places to be here on Steemit!!! So much talent here and it's all thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for putting it all together. It just makes my heart so happy to see incredibly talented, "everyday" musicians getting the exposure and the recognition that they deserve!!! I'm so happy that you stumbled across it!!! :)
Nice your post and very good your sing on the song, I like it... You sweet and sexy, I am resteemit and follow, @melodyrussell
Well thank you@marzukie! :)
I love that you're singing in your closet.
Open mic inspired me to do so ;) Thanks for the opportunity, as always @luzcypher!!!
Strong submission, good luck with the contest.
Thanks @musicgeek!
I'm glad you found the time to do it!! Me and Eden really enjoyed it and she sang along!! She loves her redheads!!
Aww, too cute! I love it!!
Well done Melody great song, out of the closet!!!
Haha! Thanks @vachemorte! ;)
I love this! You rock!
I can relate to the having to be quiet. My only chances to sing are when the baby is napping, and my house is small. I usually find myself in the nursery (her crib is in my bedroom), on the floor. It's the absolute farthest I can get from her. Lol!
Also, I'm sure you don't take requests, but if you do, I would absolutely love to hear you wail some Lucinda Williams. :)
Thanks! :) My girls never seemed to mind me playing when they were babies, but now it annoys the crap out of them lol.
And I actually need some requests! I'm starting to run out of things to play on my own. I haven't thought about Lucinda Williams in a long time. Jim (Clemens) actually showed me one of her albums years ago and I forgot all about it!
Oh, man! I love Lucinda! I'll just patiently wait. ;)
Reinventing axle rose.
Orrrrr....
"PLAY PINTS OF GUINNESS!"
Basically any AM! cover.
Maybe flogging molly... oh geez. I could go forever.
Give me a list!! Haha, Brad and I actually like to play Pints of Guinness together, so I'll have to talk him into it next time we hang out :D And I played a last-minute Flogging Molly cover a little while back even though it wasn't for open mic. You can check it out if you want:

Mel and I tried to do Reinventing Axle Rose, but I kind of messed it up with my face and alcohol... so you can totally blame me for that...
Oh hush! :p To be fair it was like 2am at the ass-end of our mini vacation and we weren't exactly in tip-top shape ;) I always love playing music with you!!! One of my favorite things ever!!
Hey i'd be down for doing Pints of Guinness make you stronger :)
Let's do that next time we hang out! I actually have a phone video of us playing it a couple years ago. I'll have to show it to you- it's pretty hilarious ;)
Haha! Send it to me!!! But yes we need to hang out and play!!!
Great job MEL!!!! I love it! Was thinking about doing this song, but after my original flopped, I figured I will hold off on my morbid songs for a bit and maybe do another cover. bleh. I'm sorry you had to hide away in the closet, but I am glad you posted this amazing song. Wish I was there to do backup vocals with you!!!!
It was a last minute decision to play it, and honestly all the while I was thinking of how I love to hear you play and sing it! I'm just half-assing it here as usual, especially since Ive been sick. I remember when we used to talk and play songs over the phone together before video chat was a thing lol! And this was one of them :)
Also, your original didn't "flop"! You just didn't get your usual Curie vote since you're not one of the "newest" faces on here anymore. You win some, you lose some. Don't let it discourage you!!! Keep on doing your originals! That's part of what makes you, YOU!
Yay!!! I love when you sing this song! It's definitely one of my favorites that you do! Great job mel!!
Thanks buddy! :)
