I'm doing solo gigs. Help me pick songs!
« on: January 27, 2013, 07:33:21 AM »
I'm going with pretty much standard pop/light rock/a little country.  So you know a little bit about my range, here are my songs so far.
Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett
Hello - Lionel Richie
My Life - Billy Joel
Honesty - "
Just the Way You Are
Desperado - Eagles
One Headlight - Wallflowers
I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues - Elton John
Rocket Man - Elton
Obladi Oblada - Beatles
Yesterday - Beatles
Let it Be - Beatles
Mama I'm Coming Home - Ozzy
2 out of 3 Ain't Bad - Meatloaf
I Believe - Diamond Rio
After All - Brett James
It Won't Be Like This for Long - Darius Rucker
Beth - KISS
Pina Colada Song - Rupert Holmers
Tonight I Wanna Cry - Keith Urban
Drift Away - Dobie Gray
You Don't Know How it Feels - Tom Petty
I Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon
Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum
I'll Be - Edwin McCain

It's just me and my keyboard.
I'd like to get about 40 songs before I start out. I'm not sure how many people here really like this kind of stuff, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alabama - If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)  oh wait . . .

Since you already have I Believe from Diamond Rio, I'll go ahead and add my favorite DR song, "Kentucky Mine".
Winger would be better!

. . . and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

How about something by George Strait?  Maybe "All My Exes Live In Texas"?
