it's a 'stag' so to speak, we talk about guy stuff


61-66 I played in a rock band in high school - up until the Beatles invasion we played guitar instrumentals, some Beach Boys (sans harmony), Louie, Louie. After the British invasion we switched to Rolling Stones.
I never hung around with the average Joe Ducktail, my buddies were musicians, so where the average guy's musical head was I don't know - seems he liked anything that would help him get his arms the female (like Roy O). Folk music was big in late 50s-early 60s: Tom Dooley, If I Had a Hammer, pre-Dylan stuff. What about Buddy Holly stuff? Funny though, I never really noticed any guys singing along at any gigs I've ever done - mostly the women - the guy joins in for her approval.

Find Billboard's top 100 for the sixties decade - and take some choices from there to augment the standards list you have.

Here's a question: If you're not a musician, what songs do you sing to yourself? Or do you?
