Chas, I never heard of Sid Vicious, I can't think of any Marvin Gay songs that I would do, though I used to perform How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You. And, I'm confident that I would not be doing any Mick Jagger songs. However, there are lots of other top songs I recently began doing, and ironically, it really doesn't seem to make any difference at all who originated the song, male of female. During the past few weeks I've been performing Saving All My Love For You, the audiences, both young and old love it, though I changed the lyrics a bit to fit the gender. Obviously, I'm not the right gender for this song, but it has really gone over well.
Both these guys are great entertainers - NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! They're hard working guys and seem to work well with their audiences from what I saw. And, I have no doubt that they can do justice to any song they perform, regardless of gender, race, age, etc... That's what I love about music - it allows you to bring forth your creative juices and place your art-form in front of a vast array of audiences. It seems as the only recrimination upon doing this comes from individuals whom also work in the entertainment field - not the audiences they perform in front of day in and day out.
My fondest wish is to be able to continue to perform for at least another couple years, but I don't believe my health will allow this. If not, well, there will be a lot of gear going on Ebay.
All the best,
Gary
