Have you ever done a cover? -Susan
You know, I have never really recorded a cover, but I have some that I want to do. I used to have a list somewhere. Tom Petty, Beach Boys, Weezer, Craig’s Brother. Mario Bros, Enterprise Theme, Linus And Lucy. Oh yeah! Once we did the Family Matters theme at a show! The most exciting thing I’m working on is this rock trio arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade! It will be some work. Is it a “cover”? Any other cover ideas?
You ought to do a rendition or cool new version of the beatles song ‘martha my dear’ off the white album.
Truth. What a great song. Listen…genius melodies, clever and fun arrangement, dynamic recording, fun with time signature, key changes, and TUBAS!!! What happened to the state of rock music?
Hey Mr. Chris Merritt, i’m a huge fan, my name is Aly Webb, and my boyfriend knows your mom (not to be creepy)! I now listen to/love your music. I was wondering if you could write a song about teenage relationships maybe, about how they may or may not work, but it’s worth it to hope, right? Thanks for your time, and keep on being spiffy!
Thanks for your question. Sure, here is your song!
When will you be in virginia again id really like to see you perform -Anonymous (but I’ll name you No Punctuation McGee)
Hey Chris, any plans to come play in Austin, TX anytime soon? Like for Austin City Limits or South by Southwest? -David
Dude, I love you since Utah. Your music is addictive. Incredible. Don’t stop. Tour. Come to Utah. Dont ever sell out. Seriously, you’ve got a gift. Will you tour -Anonymous (but I’ll name you Short Sentence Sam)
Soon. I (and band) will do a proper tour soon. Who wants to be in charge of booking? Not it!!! Sonny? Bobby? Brett?
I was wondering if you could ever send out music, like just piano chords or whatever, to aspiring closet pianists? Like, specifically, Sugar. Because i love that little tune. -Brenton, Resident of Ashburn, VA
First of all, take your piano out of the closet because it’s dark and cramped in there. You know, I’ve had a few requests to for sheet music. Sounds like something I could spend a little time on and sell in my shoppe! What a good idea, self! It’s on the list with 8 billion other things to do. Here are the chords to Sugar: [verses] [ Gb Bbmin Ab Db] x2 [Gb Db F7/A Bbmin Gb Db Absus Ab] [pre-chorus] [Ebmin Absus sort of] x2 [chorus] [Db Abmin Ebmin Bb Gb Bbmin Gb Db/F Eb Db/F Ab] [bridge] [Ab/C Db Fmin Gb6] Got that? I will hint that in the bridge, your right hand plays the melody and vocal harmony, so Eb and Gb x5, resolve to Db and F, and then F and Ab x5, resolve down to Eb and Gb.
Hey, I’m from Leesburg VA and I wanted to say that I met someone who claimed to be your mother at Rust Library about a year and a half ago. She gave me Pixie and The Bear which I’ve found to be possibly the most enjoyable album I’ve recently heard. I look foward to seeing you in concert.
Haha! That’s great! She has big stickers of my face on the back of her car too.
