Today is my friend Matt Garman's birthday! A year ago today, we were trekking across the country in a rented Suburban. He was Connecticut Four's wingman for that tour, and now the midwest has a hold of him. He's all the way in Chicago now, so I decided to push this cover song ahead in the SiPIP line since he asked for a recording of it some time ago. So, here's my version of Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" performed on a rock in the lake at Robinswood Park in Bellevue, WA. I was a little nervous between the passing children and the couple of times the word fuck appears in the first verse (it's the Eastside; I'm sure some parents still censor at home here), but I did change it so I don't sing the n-word... so... that's probably okay, right? At least the ducks didn't seem too bothered.
On that note, happy birthday, Matt! Seattle misses you so much it even let summer in today.
