Rip It Up - Live at The Spirit Room, Jerome, Arizona - Jez Quayle & Dave Rentz
In May I stayed for a couple of weeks with friends in Clarkdale, Arizona. I played a few small gigs (my first in the US) and performed at this open mic at The Spirit Room in the lovely (and spooky) hillside town of Jerome. On this Little Richard classic I was accompanied by the great percussionist/drummer (and multi-instrumentalist) Dave Rentz. It was a lot of fun!
Thank you Greg Jiede for the video!
If you'd like to learn this one or strum along with us, a song sheet containing the lyrics and chords I use can be viewed or downloaded from my songbook blog:
