I’m filling in for a 60/40 band next weekend and I’ll have to play a lot of ‘teen angel’ songs from the early 60’s. I’m not inspired - half the songs sound like ‘The Wanderer’ and ‘A fool such as I’. The other half all sound like ‘Dream Lover’ or ‘Save the last dance for me’. Not really my cup of tea, but the gig pays well and the guys in the band are nice people.
The following weekend another band wants me to play ‘Late in the Evening’ ‘Lido Shuffle’ and ‘Reeling in the Years’. Now that’s more like it! I’m having a lot of fun looking up clips and learning the drum parts as close as I can.
All of which made me ponder - what are some songs you’ve had to play that either bore you to tears or really challenge and excite you?
