Subject: RE: Songs for young woman - old man duo
Yes, cogent questions. There are many many songs in which the old man is incapable or deceived.

If we get a set sorted, we'd probably start with a couple of those. We might then swing into a modern lovey-dovey - then go to the horrifying "Poison and Wine" - it sounds so sweet that it takes you the third listen to realise it's about physical abuse followeed by sex - "Your hands can bruise, your hands can heal"

Then I wanted to go to my vindication, that's what is hard to find. There are some nice race music (Slow Hand)and blues songs (Roll me slow) but there is some guitar part learning to transpose those off piano.

Good suggestions of all kinds gratefully received, but particularly songs in which the old man turns out to be the devil with a large battery!
