Good suggestions - Yeah MargareetaVille - I did that in my last band ,
need to get it back. & Mustang Sally yeah everyone likes that one . &
maye JonnieBeGoode ! The ones listed as Shamble are my originals ( so
I doubt hardly anyone has heard em) . We don't play out yet ( not the
highest priority - getting tight with a good set list is priority at
this point, and they are getting pretty good) - so the rules probably
haven't changed - but most the songs are Long versions were we do our
thing to them, up to 10 min on Comfortably Numb and 7+ for
whilemyguitargentyweeps. . But yeah we need more song to fatten up the
list. thus the question. Thanks Ed
