Here For The Party - I need to listen to the guitar solo.

Need You Now
China Grove
Sunshine of Your Love
Hot Blooded - The words! I missed some words!
Long Train Runnin

SET 3 - We didn't get to this set last night....

GIGS!

Gigs are coming up with Monami (a rock group), Kingdom Dixie (dixieland), and the only gig I've had every year for the past 10 or so, at an elementary school playing some classic tunes with 75 to 100 5th & 6th graders. And the playlist for the elementary school gig has been set:
  1. Love Potion #9
  2. Just a Song Before I Go
  3. In My Life
  4. Down on the Corner
  5. Circle Game
  6. I Want to Hold Your Hand
  7. I Feel the Earth Move
  8. Moon Shadow
  9. Teach Your Children

It's a lot of fun playing with them. They do a bunch of solos, and often will add or leave our beats, making it extra challenging!
