Rory Laird | Practice @ The Harp (Parking Lot) 30 Aug 2023 | Hallelujah (Rufus Wainwright)

The Harp is a super cool spot here in town. When I can, I like to slip down there for a bison burger and a couple brews :) I gave them the link to my page, hoping to play there. So far I haven’t heard back, but I’m thinking either they’re booked way out, they’re just busy, or perhaps I’m not the caliber musician they like to bring in. No matter what the case, I love this place so much I thought I’d just drop in and do an unrequested performance, using their awesome mural as a backdrop.

I know I already posted one today, but this was filmed in the calm before hurricane Idalia hits, so I wanted to post it right away…sort of a time capsule kinda deal I guess.

Anyway, this is my favorite version of this song, and I don’t know whose version came first. I could have searched that before writing this, but honestly, I’m not all too concerned 🤣 This song begs you to hit the vocals hard, but today I found myself straining for it so I held out until the last leg :)
