week 43 - Boy George - The Crying Game (Victoria Vox)

Embarking on a personal challenge to learn 52 covers (one a week) for 2011.

My 52 Cover Songs Project rules: 1) Must learn it the week of (not before or after) 2) Must be memorized and 3) Must be performed live (no overdubs).

Week 43 is "The Crying Game" written by Geoff Stephens (and recorded by Dave Berry, Brenda Lee and Boy George).

I am sponsored by KoAloha Ukuleles and Mya-Moe Ukuleles. Here I am playing my custom Low G Mya-Moe.

You can REQUEST a tune via twitter.com/victoriavox, email, or on my facebook.com/victoriavoxlovesyou page ;) thanks for listening ;) xo v.v. www.victoriavox.com

Victoria Vox ~ Traveling Minstrel!

One of the things I look forward to each week is:

where will Victoria be and who will she be with?

This project has been such a happy little gift in my inbox this past year.

I hope you'll keep it going for 2012 :)

Bon travail!
