  • day 3: Frying Pan

    Frying Pan, by Victoria Williams (but I only know the Evan Dando cover)

    YO DAWG i heard you like covers of covers so i put a cover in your cover so you can cover while you cover.

    Right, so, day three, and it’s the third day of playing a song I know best as a cover. This is not the only song from the Sweet Relief tribute to / benefit for Victoria Williams (sister to Lucinda) that I have on the list. This is also another song I only ever heard in public at that first record store where I worked as a teenager. Formative years!

    I also have a funny Evan Dando story from just a couple years later when I was a freshman in college. The details are not for search engines, but the tl;dr is that we shut down a long gone East Village bar, singing along to Aretha Franklin on the jukebox, mostly.
