Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Off my very first CD "A Very Jaime Christmas". This arrangement for this evolved from not being great enough at guitar to attempt a solo, but still wanting one in there. The "chicken" voices just kind of worked themselves in, and I started to like them so much that they became my favourite part of the song, if I do say so myself.

Big Bad World One

I love JoCo. Wonderful lyrics and badass chord progressions.

Banana

I would seriously recommend this to anyone.

Dream a Little Dream

Ah, my Degas. My very first guitar. I've had it since I was nine, and I love it so.

Peanut Butter Sandwich - Raffi

It was night time, the lighting was bad, I thought I could fix it, but didn't and instead went for a weird black and white splotchy look that is inappropriate to the song.

Also, the story goes that Raffi couldn't think of a good rhyme for "Jam" and decided to put famous composer David Amram in the song to solve that problem

That Darn Cat

For those of you who are interested, I was about to start playing KT Tunstall's Under the Weather

I Don't Want To Live on the Moon

Good old Sesame Street

House of the Rising Sun

Aha, I have escaped my room!

Stoppin' The Love

Another video that I may redo eventually.  While I love my steel string Epa-ma-phone, it doesn't seem to sound very good coming through a digital camera's video player.

I love this song dearly.



The Way I Am - Ingrid Michaelson

There are a million versions of this song on YouTube.  Mostly of girls my age playing.  I was determined to play it at least a little differently.  Very pretty song that gets stuck in my head often.  Thanks a lot, Old Navy commercial.



Ahh! Zombie!

This was the day of the Vancouver Zombie Walk.  After this video was taken, I added a lot of blood.  Sadly, I forgot to wear sunscreen that day, and ended up with ridiculous looking tan lines from the blood.  Here is a picture of me and my lovely boyfriend at the walk.  

Handle With Care - The Traveling Wilburys

Tada! It's really hard for me to sing this song and not go into a bad Roy Orbison impression at the "I'm so tired of being lonely" part.



Have You Ever Seen the Rain - CCR

I may end up re-doing this eventually, since the guitar doesn't sound as good as I'd like.  My first YouTube video that wasn't too dark or about the cat.




Never Tear Us Apart - INXS

See title.  Also from a year ago.

Miniature Disasters - KT Tunstall

MP3 of me singing and playing KT Tunstall's Miniature Disasters from about a year ago. First experiments with several tracks.

Ashes by KT Tunstall

Wow, I can already tell I've come a long way in a year.  But here is the first musical thing I'd ever put online.  An MP3 of me singing Ashes by KT Tunstall (it gets better after the first 10 seconds or so)

It's a Start

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to Jaime's Music.  I will be using this blog mostly as an archive of the stuff, musically or otherwise, I've created.  I haven't been feeling overly wonderful lately, but I will be posting some new stuff soon.  As always, your support is both welcome and greatly appreciated.  I think each entry will be a separate thing, but we will see how things go.
