Counting Crows - Mr. Jones (ASL?, Guitar, Ukulele, Piano, & More)


Todays song is Mr. Jones By Counting Crows. The band formed in Berkeley, California in 1991 by singer Adam Duritz and guitarist David Bryson. Counting Crows became icons of the 1990s alternative boom by rejecting grunge's aggressive distortion in favor of emotionally raw, poetic folk-rock storytelling.

This song was released in December 1993 as the lead track from their 7x Platinum debut album, August and Everything After, the song catapulted the band from Bay Area indie obscurity into global alternative rock superstardom. 

The song was inspired by a wild night out in San Francisco's Mission District. Duritz and Marty went to a bar called the New Amsterdam after watching Marty's father, a professional flamenco guitar player, perform. While drinking, they spotted Chris Isaak's drummer sitting in the corner surrounded by women. Too shy to approach anyone themselves, they jokingly rationalized that if they were just "big rock stars," talking to women would be effortless and they would never be lonely. Duritz went home that night and wrote the song about chasing those dreams.

So let's learn this one together. I'm shocked that I haven't found an ASL version yet (can you make one?). While we are waiting on that let's learn this one and on Guitar, Ukulele, and Piano.  Let's get in to it.
