Apr 20 08: notes on a 4am return
Dear self:
That was fun, again. Here, in no particular order, are some songs from Greg’s repertoire for which I think it’s time to start learning the words — no, I mean really learn the words, so they can be sung without listening to the original recording — if you’re going to continue to hang out in piano bars with disreputable types until much too late in the evening:
- “Alison”
- “Every Day I Write the Book”
- “I Don’t Know What it Is”
- “Wuthering Heights,” because this is a prime demonstration that singing along in the car etc. for 20 years doesn’t mean that you’re not faking bits here and there
- “Rocket Man”
- “Wicked Little Town”
- “Back on the Chain Gang,” maybe
- “Ask,” because how fun would that be?
- “And Dream of Sheep” into “Under Ice” is still a totally brilliant idea, seriously
And of course, see if you can find the music for “Guilty,” that Randy Newman song, in the arrangement (or at least the key) that Bonnie Raitt used.
