Subject: RE: Requests: what do people ask you to sing
They seem to prefer my singing on instrumentals!
Again no serious performer here. I try to mix up styles and periods, but people who've heard me do a fair cross-section of my repertoire ask for and seem to think I can do (on a good day, when I'm not too nervous) decentish versions of:
- Grantchester Meadows (Pink Floyd)
- Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel)
- Dr Syn (Bob Kenward)
- Sara (Bob Dylan)
- Intervention (Arcade Fire)
- Julia We Don't Live In The Sixties (Indelicates)
- The Trees they Do Grow High (trad)
- Banks Of The Sweet Primroses (trad)
In venues where my repertoire's unknown I tend to get asked if I know:
- Dirty Old Town
- Wonderwall
- Hotel California
- Scarborough Fair
- Duelling Banjos
- House Of The Rising Sun
....all fairly predictable. Suppose I'll have to learn the 3 I don't know one day soon!
