keaton simons - without your skin

howdy, y'all.

hope everyone had a great thanksgiving break!  i was fortunate enough to spend mine out in new york at my brother's place with lots of family.  i needed that!

i heard this awesome track on my drive back to chicago.  in addition to my music listening, i also listen to a lot of podcasts.  (expect a podcast post before too long!)  one of my new favorites is  by comedian jay mohr on the smodcast network: "mohr stories."  in the most recent episode, jay is joined by musician keaton simons for a great conversation about music and comedy.

about a half hour into the podcast, keaton plays an incredible acoustic version of  "without your skin."  his performance just screams passion.  he sounds so completely natural and really energizes the listener.  i was so inspired after hearing him play!  it's so easy for a young musician to get caught up in the technical aspects of music and keaton made me forget all about that.  i wanna play like he does- with passion and energy!

jay points out one of the coolest lyrics in the song:

"i don't know if i should run away or tiptoe/but i feel like i can't be here anymore"

niiiice.

welcome back, and, as always,

enjoy,
