Putting myself out there. . .

Actually, the song name is just Georgia (actually Georgia on my Mind).  My name is Benjamin.

This was the hardest to put out there, because Georgia is maybe the most-covered jazz song in the world, and 99% of performances you can find are so much better than mine.  My favorite is Eric Clapton's.

I tease you about Abba, but I like the way they play with dynamic thresholds, too.  There's a reason they were popular, and it transcends the popularity of that musical genre.

--edit--
I lied.  The best version is definitely Ray Charles' original.  Shivers.



Music is not set in stone. It really is not.

In my entire life, I have gone from pop to hip hop, to classical to everything in between. 

When heavy metal Rock guitarist gives you this, how do you argue?
