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"?
Later,

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.

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.
