Subject: RE: Gig From Hell List
thread creep points to another sub-topic: what songs are dangerous to play because the audience loves them and reacts with a high amount of spontaneous enthusiasm...

Okie --or a lot of Merle for that matter...

but my number one nominee is "The Rodeo Song". I once got shit from a club owner cause one of his regular patrons picked up my guitar duing a break and regaled the audience of expatriate Newfoundlanders--the doors were open, it was a residential neighbourhood, management was unamused.

It's 40 below, but I don;'t give a f**** Got a heater in the truck and I'm off to the rodeo...

(course if you were a hard-bitten Alberta cowboy singer named Gaye, you'd probly write that song too...)
