That's a tough question. I'll usually do some John Hurt Let The Mermaids Flirt with me or Candyman but that's at home. Gigs I like to be more upbeat been having fun with Stop Breakin Down and a Louis Jordan tune (???) Lipstick, Powder & Paint or My eyes keep my in trouble. Just goofing off at home I'll play different stuff than I do at gigs like Lyle's If I Had Boat great tune to play/sing sittin around on the couch.

On the national it'd be Son House Preachin Blues or some slow Muddy blues.

The loveliest of tunes! I've played it a thousand times, and never get tired of it. In fact, I'm reaching for my guitar to play it right now!

B Woods, Midnight on the Water - I agree, have played it for years and never tire of it, got it from a great fiddler I used to gig with many years ago. In fact i'll play it now as well. Its good for the spirit!

A hardcore Bluegrasss version of Queen's "Year of '39" off their Rapsody album (Amazing chord progresion!) Slavic Hanslick's "So Long Jake"( if you like Bluegrass and have not heard Slavic's playing, go find 'Spring in the Old Country')... and also a Bluegrass version of Crowded House's "Into Temptation"...
