What is ever worse, Tony, is being asked to play "Marguaritaville" and having to admit that you can. :laugh:

People think that because you play guitar you must be able to play EVERY song, popular or obscure. Everyone has a request and I get pretty sick of saying "sorry I can't play that". I guess players like Neil can take requests, and no doubt some of you guys can as well. But I run out pretty quickly.
I think that no matter what song people request, you should just launch into Norwegian Wood. And when they try to correct you, just start screaming that this is exactly the song they requested. Works every time.

If they ever request Margaritaville, I say I don't know it and play "Some Beach" by Blake Shelton. That is as close as I can get.

Tovo I agree I have very few full songs and a load of pieces of songs, would be nice to know every song on this planet!

I can see you and Dennis belting that one out in some seedy little bar in Seattle Fred. Wear something bright!

Dennis I read somewhere that a very high percentage of people are in a job that they are in no way suited for. I have no idea why I thought of that at the precise moment I read your post...

Ka-ching, Tony!! Nailed Dennis right in the angina! :laugh:

In your case however; rather than fear being asked to play a song you do not know, I would think your greater anxiety would be asked to play Norwegian Wood. :ohmy:

My only problem is all the beautiful young women that follow me around and want to give me their room keys, phone numbers or underwear!! It's a curse, but I'm bearing it well!! ;)
