Song Requests

[sleigh]

So I'm thinking of additional tunes that Mark and I could do, and thought I'd turn to the Great Group Mind for suggestions.

If you were listening to quiet little duo -- two male voices, with instrumentation of either two guitars or guitar and bass, and you really, really wanted to hear them do one song that you think is a terrific example of the songwriting craft, what song would that be?

You get to suggest one. Period. Maybe two. (OK, yeah, I really can't stop you from suggesting a hundred, but...) You should probably look here first to make sure you're not suggesting something we already do, though. I give our current song list a bit down in the comments.

To suggest someone not represented, what do you think of Eric Anderson? He's done a lot of great stuff over the years. Lots of possibilities there, but I'd suggest "Dream to Rimbaud" as maybe my favorite.

Also, since I can't resist, how about the Paul Siebel song, "Spanish Johnny," which I know from the David Bromberg cover.

Those other years, those dusty years,
We drove the big herds through;
I tried to forget the miles we rode
And Spanish Johnny too;
He'd sit besides a water ditch
When all his herd was in;
And he'd never harm a child,
but sung, to his mandolin...
