Fun Question Of The Month--July

MikeK

What's a really interesting song that you call (or someone that you gig with calls) that:

1) wasn't played by Django

2) isn't in the Django Fakebook and

3) isn't called regularly at jams?

Let's try to keep it to 1 song (with no repeats), with a maximum of 2 if you have 2 really interesting ones. I'll get it started:

My friend Albi calls the theme from The Godfather. Great changes, haunting melody, super-fun to solo over, and often gets the attention of the audience. And maybe even boosts the tips?

Bluesette -- in the friendly key of G. Lots of opportunity for violin/guitar harmony, even a "round." (Played it at a djangofest with David Laflamme on violin.)

Carnation ~ Fapy Lafertin, Am.

Samba em Preludio ~ Baden Powell, Bm

My Little Suede Shoes (Charlie Parker)

Catchy tune, easy head and changes go great w/GJ bossa rhythm

You Look Good To Me, C. We played it last night. Love soloing to it and love the slow intro and coda.

The Third Man Theme in G has gone down well.

Crazy was a setlist regular for a while. @billyshakes you can add the other(s)
