Hey all!
Nate here. The last month for me has been absolutely crazy! My fiancee and I tried to buy a house back in January but we never closed on the deal. We stayed there for free until May and then we decided to break off the deal. So then we had to stay with friends for weeks... and then FINALLY we bought our first house!
So with our new house comes a little bit of stability. I've set up my recording studio upstairs ;D ;D For those of you that may remember, I write and record music under the name "The White Sapphire." I used to have a website, but now it's only exclusively on Facebook. Anyway... make an already long story short... A friend of mine and I had recorded an album in which I harmonized my vocals along with his in songs that he wrote. Lately I've really been thinking about doing the same with John's music. I have a killer harmony with some songs such as "Save the Day," "Something Somewhere," "Walking on Broadway," and "Alexander & Annabel," etc.
What would you all think if I did that? Especially John... it's his music and I wouldn't want to tamper with it if he didn't want me to, lol!
Talk soon.. be good!

So with our new house comes a little bit of stability. I've set up my recording studio upstairs ;D ;D Congrats on your new house and the recording studio, Nate. I saw some pix of the house on your Facebook, really nice and you and your fiancee looked so happy. As I take it, you moved from Rockford to Rockton then? Boy, there seems to be a lot of Rock ('n' Roll?) in that area!! Cool! ;D For those of you that may remember, I write and record music under the name "The White Sapphire." I used to have a website, but now it's only exclusively on Facebook. Anyway... make an already long story short...

Your project sounds interesting to say the least, I'd love to hear the results/cover versions. Great choice of songs, btw. It's good though, you're asking John's 'permission' first. If I was him (hmm, how would that feel?? ) I'd sure be flattered that you (or anyone else for that matter) like the songs enough to cover them plus I recall a girl who put her version of 'Never Far From Me' on YouTube and John was totally cool with it and even thanked her for her work. As long as people do not make money from the covers, it's all good. But that's just yours truly's humble opinion.

Very late, but I just wanted to say congrats on the house, Nate! I did like the songs I listened to on your website, and I would love to hear your versions of John's songs
