And what month we live in today? Come on man.. You can do it!
You KNOW the songs, you KNOW the lyrics. More than about 10 chords on your guitar for the entire night will be overkill...

You can do this Sam!

Go get 'em

That's a great song! But I'm a MALE vocalist... Know what I mean?




So am I but someone requested some Patsy Cline at todays gig and I sang them . . . does this mean I was "Crazy" for singing "Back in Baby's Arms" at this early gig or should I have started singing while "Walking After Midnight"?

Actually, about 20 is all that is needed: Major, Dominant 7, Minor and Minor 7 x 5 (I, II, IV, V, VI) plus a capo! No problem with the chords at all, it is a question of knowing when the next one comes! That and a multitude of rhythms...

Mind you, most of Patsy's best hits were actually written by WILLIE NELSON!

Hi Sam,
But it is a guy's song!!
Written by Kris Kristoffson, first recorded by Roger Miller, later by KK and by Kenny Rogers & The First Edition. "Bobby" was actually a girl (think "Bobbie")




That's the WORST spelling of Kristofferson I've ever seen!!


Cheers,
Keith

I'm still wrestling how anyone who's a child of 50 wants hippy music. We are all like 60 to 65. Music of the 70's, but I missed all of that. we did have a guy played a mean mouth organ in the 1st bush camp I lived in, but I went to bed at 7:30 before the radio would work. If you stayed up late you could get Detroit for an hour, then Cinci, then Atlanta. I never stayed up after midnight for a long time, Mom told me nothing good happens after midnight. I wasn't sure about that from all the banging went on in that house after midnight. But I was the oldest of 6 and they were busy times.

Okay, so mah checkered past is showing, but man, I could do this gig in my sleep, would likely save an acoustic rendition of Little Wing/Castles Made of Sand for the encore, doin' my damndest to channel
Tuck Andress and his wife Patti - and its the only one in this list I'd have to actually practice on first, the rest - and more - are permanently lodged in memory banks from giggin' the 60s:

Oh, I love that 'Bogart' track, Mac! Never heard it before...

Short list so far (not all 60s though but 60s style) and looking for more:

Edelweiss
Four Strong Winds
Lemon Tree
Man Of Constant Sorrow
Me & Bobby McGee
MoonShadow
Puff The Magic Dragon
Queen Of Hearts
Rock & Roll I Gave You
San Francisco
Streets Of London
The Last Farewell

The above are definite

We have had a fight about 'Angel' by EP. I don't think it is party material - too personal and too naieve but she would like...

Blue Moon
Are You Lonesome Tonight
Hey Jude
House Of The Rising Sun
Crazy
Paint It Black
It Ain't Me Babe
Pretty Woman
Sympathy For The Devil
Revolution
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Can't Help Falling In Love With You
Like A Rolling Stone
Blowin' In The Wind

I must admit, I fancy 'Where Have All The Flowers Gone' as well...

Keep the ideas coming please! Thanks very much

I was the Fool on the Hill when I was at school - Harrow School, Harrow On The Hill, Middlesex. Same school as Sir Winston and many others... I am not on the Hill anymore but I am still a fool...

This is true.

FYI the state of Queensland is 1,734,157 square kilometres. 3/4 of that (1300618 sq km) is currently under water.

To put that in perspective the UK is 243,610 sq km. I.E. there are 7.12 UK's in Queensland, 5.34 of them are under water...

Another comparison: Alaska is, at 1,482,970 sq km, the largest state of the U.S. Queensland is 17% larger...

Not suggesting it for your play list as #1. it is not from the 60's and #2. it will no doubt get lost in translation but Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927" tells a similar story.

Perhaps she really likes love songs. Afterall, we all must cater to our audience, even if we question their preferences.
