2 cents worth

“Romeo and Juliet,” is a song that has been covered by several bands, the one group that I find most memorable would be the Indigo Girls. This version of the song was released in 1992, and consists of the vocals of Amy Ray and the chords from an acoustic guitar. The song first came about in 1980, from the group Dire Straits on their album Making Movies. One of the reasons that I like the Indigo Girls’ version better than the Dire Straits’ version, is simply the fact that I have heard that version more than the other one. I listen to the song probably several hundreds of times in one weekend, due to the sheer fact that I do winter-guard and the Indigo Girls’ version is the music for our show. However, I believe that by the end of the season I will be done with the song for a long time. This has happened with other show music that I have had in the past years, the most recent song to have this done to it would be “The Sound of Silence,” by Simon & Garfunkel.
