Season 645 Of The Ukulele - Piece Of My Heart

PIECE OF MY HEART - Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns
This was one of the first songs that popped into my head, but I figured it wasn't up to me to try to emulate Janis, so I hoped that someoone else would tackle it. Since the season's drawing to an end, I can give it a shot if I pretend that I've never heard Janis's version.
I'd appreciate it if you also pretend that you've never heard her version while you're listening to this.

I love playing Janis songs because I do them different. This HAD to be here, and you did a great job bringing it sir! Thank you!

Great rendition! Thanks for sharing your wonderful performance! I could hear Janis Joplin in the background. 😊

[@PHJimY]

Thanks a lot Charldene. See you in a couple of hours?

John Hartford did this one on banjo on his "Gumtree Canoe" album. You did a great again. Thanks

[@PHJimY]

John is one of my musical heros and I think I've probably heard him do this. Thank you.

Lucky me, I found this😩❤

[@PHJimY]

Thanks for dropping by.

Nice version, Jim.
I probably would have done this in half the tempo, with a conversational vocal.
I remember doodling the opening riff on guitar endlessly in my younger days.

[@PHJimY]

Thanks Cody (Is that right?) I didn't take the time to explore different tempos. It was fast & dirty.

[@Renaissance-Man-Ukulele]

@@PHJimY Yup, Cody. I'm just making conversation, following through with what you said on the forum about your version. I listened to the John Hartford version, and it's a lot like yours. I thought you'd be interested in what I would have done. Just typing "nice version" , I'm quickly learning, is probably a better way to go.

[@PHJimY]

I like the conversation post Cody.

[@Renaissance-Man-Ukulele]

@@PHJimY Thank you, Jim. You're always a gentleman

[@PGUke]

There is no shame in your version compared to Janis Jim! This is really great! I have to go and find John Hartford’s version now 👍

[@PHJimY]

Try to find the one where he dances

[@PGUke]

@@PHJimY just seen this Jim, I did listen to the straight audio version. I loved it.
