Members pogo97 Posted February 14, 2016 Members Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think everyone should learn this song, if only so they can choose to sing it or not sing it if circumstances dictate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members steve mac Posted March 3, 2019 Members Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) 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) Edited April 21, 2019 by steve mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
