Quick background: For over a year, my wife, a couple of her friends, and my sister have been chewing on me about playing a gig at the Wine Cafe about 8 blocks from the house.
They have solos and duets there every Saturday, early hours targeting the over 50 crowd.
Anyway, as someone who's played more than 2,000 gigs in was not enthusiastic. So, i came up with an idea that everyone seems to like.
I worked it out with the owner to have a guy already booked for August 27 (and i know him) to start at 8 instead of 7:30, and i'll play from 7:10 to 7:45.
No money, no equipment. Just me and a 12 string guitar. No tricks. My wife has already reserved 15 seats at the place. (She's making a bigger deal out of it than i am.)
So, here's my soup to nuts songlist. A mix of tunes from the 60s to the 90s. I haven't decided on an order, yet.
- Lightining Crashes (by Live)
- Everybody Wants to Rule The World (Tears for Fears)
- I Need To Know (Tom Petty)
- Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper)
- Have You Ever Seen The Rain (Credence)
- Plush (Stone Temple Pilots)
- Just Like Heaven (The Cure)
I've been singing every night to try to get the little muscles in shape. Seems to be working, and i've got 2 weeks.
Not sure i'll do it again, but at least they'll quit bugging me, because i did it.
