"I’m Gonna Live ‘til the Day I Die" (original)
"Bottle of Wine" (Tom Paxton)
"Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" (Rolf Harris)
"I Am Going Home" (original)
"Oh, Sinner Man" (traditional)
"There’s a Great Big Monster Under My Bed" (original)
"Walking Down the Line" (Bob Dylan)
"Get Up and Go" (Pete Seeger)
I've been thinking of doing more. This Tuesday the local folk society has a sing around at which everyone does a song or two, I've been practicing some songs, two of which I'm considering: "Never Ending Song of Love" (Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett), and an original I've been working on, "Lilacs in Season". The "Lilacs" song is fitting as our city hosts a Lilac Festival every year, and we are currently in the midst of it.
I've been practicing a few other songs that might be added to a future set.
"Well May the World Go" (Pete Seeger)
"Helpless" (Neil Young)
"Morning Has Broken" (Eleanor Farjeon)
"How Can I Keep From Singing (traditional)
"There's a Place in the World for a Gambler" (Dan Fogelberg)
"Lonely People" (America)
"I Shall Be Released" (Bob Dylan)
The first group and these new songs would give me more than an hour's set. I've been practicing more and more, so my voice - and my fingers - can hold up.
Do I see myself playing out a couple of times a week or at bars/brew houses? No. And to make money? No. More likely, occasional coffee house settings or open mic nights will be my limit.
Which is fine by me. I just enjoy it.
Pax et bonum
