Our friend Alan is working on an acoustic version of Lee Osler’s Back to Ypsilanti, this video is of his friend explaining how he might go about it.

Alan had told me about this, but I just happened to stumble upon this video. I also saw in the comments thread following the clip a few people were upset that this was being done, arguing that the song was sacred and shouldn’t be messed with.

Personally, I love that there’s attempts to cover the song! That is a huge part of reviving songs, and I bet Lee would be flattered. I’d like to see more.
