The Laptop Sessions: “Smoke” (Ben Folds Five Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

By Jeff Copperthite:

Welcome to another terrific edition of Thumpin’ Thursday! It’s Jeff Copperthite today bringing you another great song for http://www.laptopsessions.com.

Going to a band that has treated me well in terms of getting viewers, I bring you another song by Ben Folds Five called “Smoke”. It is from their album “Whatever and Ever Amen”, which I have yet to draw from. I loved this song ever since I first heard it, and would most often be the track I just kept repeating from the entire album.

I love the piano-string strumming that Ben does when this song is performed. Consequently, I only have a keyboard. Therefore, I decided to do a guitar rendition of this song. I hope you like it!

I just crossed 11K views - in only 8 days since I crossed 10K. Thank you so much! We are nearing the halfway point of session-a-day. Can you believe it? We’ll keep posting - you keep coming back to http://www.laptopsessions.com !

Be sure to check out Jim’s latest session tomorrow!
