.....if you were invited to play an open mic night/party/coffee house???

Personally i'd go with:

1. Crush
2. Only the good die young (b joel)
3. Buzzing (howie day)
4. Africa (toto/howie day)
5. ants marching

Just curious as to how some people would mix it up a little...

you mean, as far as covers?

at some friends' parties i do some lion king covers, throw in some dave, which always varies. i have a pop song blend that i do where i do nsync, britney spears, and other pop acts mixed together into one song, which helps draw the crowd in, and usually some slower radiohead songs. can't give you specifics, because i always vary, but those are usually what i do.

I'm saying if you were given a chance to perform at a party/lounge in front of VIP's (whoever you'd enjoy/dream to play for) and you had to choose five songs... what would be the top five you would choose for that one performance...

1. just like heaven by the cure (i have this really kick-ass version I do 8) )
2. two step
3. vera by pink floyd
4. april come she will by simon and garfunkle(spelling on art??)
5. shiver by coldplay

that's kind of a ragtag assortment, not really any specific style, but hey who cares.

you can close your eyes - James Taylor

change the world - eric clapton

seven days - sting

every little thing she does is magic - the police

glorybound - martin sexton

eh, that's what I'd do now, I'm thinking just solo acoustic, if it were whatever I wanted with a band and electric, it'd probably be fairly different.
