Tune Req: An Upbeat Suggestion

From: GUEST,nate

I am in need of some suggestions for some crowd pleasers. I need some more upbeat songs to sing. Its easy to find a slow tune but really good upbeat songs are hard to get. I have found plenty but most are pretty mediocre (sp?).   I am a newbie in the folk realm so would someone suggest some great upbeat songs that people can really enjoy. To be more specific, something with really fun lyrics.

Thanks,
Nate Cotton

Hello, Nate.

What type/sort of 'folk' do you do?

Tell us what you think is mediocre so we will know your taste--one hint, though, to a great degree, the performer is the one who makes the music exciting--
