Members steve mac Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 I make a joke about doing a costume change, something like announcing no expense has been spared for the crowds entertainment then reach into my pocket and pull out a pair of Elvis shades or John Lennon specs followed by a song by the respective artist. Today I was in Lubbock and bought a pair of Buddy Holly's glasses, now I need to learn an appropriate song, so anyone do any that work well just solo acoustic that go well? Also any other ideas for the glasses theme, with a roaring holiday crowd it goes down really well, I was thinking Elton John?Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Steve "Peggy Sue" is a great "unplugged" Buddy Holly song, but almost any will work on acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nice guitar arrangement. Kind of like James Taylor, or Tuck Andress lite. The vocals add a nice edge but still sit well with the guitar style. Anyway, the only Buddy Holly tune I do is That'll Be The Day. People can listen or dance to it, and folks like to sing along with the "ooh, ooh" part near the end. I sing it pretty bluesy but nobody seems to notice - as long as they can go "ooh, ooh". These days, I might only play it once a year (or less) but if the crowd wants Buddy, it seems to fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
