Jason Sings: Hey Jupiter & W*O*L*D
Here are two new songs I recorded for the YouTube groupies over the past couple of weeks. They are super cool to me over there and I adore them so click on the videos if you can to see their comments and their own clips.
"Hey Jupiter" is another Tori Amos song and the first one I've done where I'm playing the piano entirely on my own, no backing track or instrumental. I don't know how to read music and don't speak piano fluently -- and on top of that, I find it really difficult to play and sing at the same time -- but this improv just sort of rode itself out so easily.
"W*O*L*D" is a song by the late, great Harry Chapin that my father used to sing a lot when I was growing up. I recorded it on Father's Day for him. I think I'm way too young to sing it, but it shows off my voice better in the bridge than anything I can think of to date.

HAUNTING!.... Hey Jupiter was. I love it. I commented on youtube (I'm "frajilhart") . I was so excited to see you did another Tori song! Hugs to you my sweet friend. Now I have to go and watch your rendition of "W*O*L*D". I was too excited I had to watch HJ first.

I love you Jason, but you can't sing.
Hayden - YAY! That always means something coming from a fellow Tori fan-atic! :-) xo L, J.
Laura - "Jupiter" is one of my faves and thank you so much for all your comments on YouTube. My Tube Posse means a lot and I appreciate all your support! hehe :-P xo L, J.
10:09 - Well tell people to stop hiring me then! lol... I've had more bookings that involved singing in the last six months than in any year. Go figure. ;-) xo L, J.
