I find myself constantly reviewing my set lists these days, partly to cater toward my "slightly" younger audience but mainly to keep myself interested.

To that end these are a few that I have recently added.

Crazy - Gnarles Barclay (play it in the same key as original and have added a bluesy solo at the end)

Venus - Shocking Blue / Bananarama (I was looking for a song that went from open chords to bar chords for my students) this song was top of the charts twice twenty years apart so fits nicely with my demographic.

Call Me - Blondie (translates well to a solo performer) a hit in 1980 which is scarily nearly 40 ago

The Boxer - Paul Simon (I am a weak finger picker, but someone requested this and I thought why not)
