Taking Requests

A friend and I have decided we want to try to work up a setlist and play in some bars around town. This is something I've always wanted to do, but haven't had the time/commitment/courage. It's better now that I've got a partner in crime (and it helps that he's a musical genius). We met tonight to begin the process of learning the songs we don't currently know and get them in shape to play in public. I learned, much to my dismay, that I've forgotten many of the songs I used to be able to play. When I lived with my parents, my guitar hung on my wall next to my bed. I didn't even have to move to access it. For the majority of the last four years, however, I haven't had the same luxury. I blame my six-stringed stagnancy on this fact.

Here's where you come in. Close your eyes, well not really because then you wouldn't be able to read what i'm writing. Just imagine, then, that you are in your favorite evening establishment for a few drinks and some good times with your friends. You get the urge to request a song from the musician(s) on stage. What do you request? (Say Free Bird, I dare you. See what happens, jerk.) Post a comment telling me the song or songs you would like to hear. This will give us a better idea of what melodious mixtures would best entice our audience. The more, the merrier.

Thanks.
