I'm putting a set together for a 3 piece acoustic band. Drums, Tuba & guitar/mand/vocals.
I am the I am the latter component.
We're playing acoustic blues - Blind boys, Son House, Swan Silvertones sort of thing. New Orleans is a common thread but trad jazz is NOT the objective. Professor Longhair rather than Kenny Ball. We all met up at a Katrina fundraiser. The drummer has a detailed knowledge of New Orleans rhythms (can play very quietly!) and the tuba is sooo damned funky.

Rehearsals are going well but I need some sage advice from the oracle-like, collective wisdom of the Mudcat.

We are looking for ENTERTAINING songs to include in our set. Not House of the Rising Sun!

Any suggestions will be gratefully received and fully investigated. (and I'll get you a pint at the YG too if you're there!)

Thanks

Fullerton
