Interesting idea. Hmmm ... Wait - looks familiar ... I think I'm IN your band! :disbelief:

Oh, no, guess not - I had to give up on Buffett and Skynyrd. Very much too "done" around here.

Probably should have been "song list" instead of "set list," so sleep-deprived posters wouldn't get confused ... ;) ... oh, I see, that was a joke? Oops! Um, well, that was a joke ... :grin:

I wish I could give you a list of what we were playing in the Cajun/bluegrass/country band, because there was a lot of different stuff as well as some good old standards. This is our working list as the dynamic duo Alibi - Lonesome on fiddle and guitar, me on mandolin and steel tenor guitar, plus Sunshine on guitar and amazing vocals whenever she wants. Sorry for the caps - this is designed for easy reading on stage:

[Steve Ostrander]

Journeybear: Yep, I should have said song list, not set list. I would be exhausted by the end of that set. Interesting to me how many of your songs we do, have done, or are thinking about doing.

Woodwizard: "Shove the Pig's Foot" makes me uneasy...

[JeffD]

"Shove that Pigs Foot a Little Further in the Fire" is a great tune that I learned just because of the name. And its a crowd pleaser.

Never mind that the title refers to pig iron.

[Tripp Johnson]

"Shove that Pigs Foot a Little Further in the Fire" is a great tune that I learned just because of the name. And its a crowd pleaser.

My experience as well, still a favorite at our jam for a few years now.

Yeah, that's kinda why I posted. Sometimes it seems like these and similar songs are part of the collective consciousness, at least for certain people of a certain temperament of a certain age range ... I'm not certain ... :grin: ... but they do keep coming up. We both seem to be going for a mix of classic rock/Americana and country, even if you've got a bit more of the former and we of the latter, we're still in the same area. We probably won't be doing any Zep or Neil Young, though ... :whistling: but I am glad to see "Tangerine" on your list. That's a lovely little overlooked tune.

BTW, SOP for gigs is a four hour shift. That can be broken up any way you want - we are trying to do the "professional approach" of 45 on, 15 break. So our song list is close to being a set list, though we only got halfway through last time. I think we were stretching out some songs and taking longer breaks - slow night, no one seemed to mind. Got the best reaction from a slightly slowed (hence very bluesy) "Sitting On Top Of The World" and a good lopin' "Stealin'."

On further reflection, "set list" is fine. Implies a list of songs ready for playing out, a different consideration than "songs we do."

[woodwizard]

"Shove that Pigs Foot a Little Further in the Fire" is a great tune that I learned just because of the name. And its a crowd pleaser.

Me too! Great name for a tune. That's exactly why I learned "Squirrel Heads & Gravy" and "Nail that Catfish to a Tree" too!

[journeybear]

Not to mention "Gimme A Pig Foot And A Bottle Of Beer." Oh no, I said not to mention it! My bad ... :redface:

'course, as far as I'm concerned, just gimme the beer an' keep that pig foot for your own self! :grin:

BTW, it's hard to get the texture of squirrel heads just right, hence the gravy. Everything's better with gravy! Except maybe popcorn ... :popcorn:

[Steve Ostrander]

Surprisingly, all of the Zeppelin tunes do translate very nicely into acoustic ballads. I forgot to include "Your Time is Gonna Come"

[JeffD]

Me too! Great name for a tune. That's exactly why I learned "Squirrel Heads & Gravy" and "Nail that Catfish to a Tree" too!

Also, "The Cat that Kittled in Jamies Wig", a wonderful tune I learned in Northern Ireland. Almost a strathspey, but with these dramatic jig time sections.

So, your Americana band ... Can't help but notice almost half the list is made up of songs by bands from other former British colonies :confused: - ten Stones songs, Donovan's from Scotland, AC/DC from OZ - and then you've got seven Neil Diamond songs ... :disbelief:

Ah, whatever ... It's how you do them that counts, right? ;) ... :whistling:

[JimRichter]

It is a matter of how we play them. Perhaps "roots rock" would have been a more accurate term.

When you play a Tele through a vintage Tweed Deluxe with a vintage tube greenbox Echoplex on the front end, anything you play is either going to sound rockabilly or Bakersfield.
