My Favorite Songs

I love taking requests when I'm playing gigs. I'm an entertainer and my mindset has always been how can I help people enjoy a night out? For some, it's taking them back to the music they grew up with. For others, it's hearing new music that they might not have heard before. I can accommodate requests for most people (I have over 800 songs on my iPad!) but get stumped every now and then. This always gives me a chance to learn new songs from artists I'm not as familiar with. Right now I owe someone some George Jones. Another friend loves Neil Young so I've scoured the internet to learn good Neil Young songs. Most times people just say play what you like...whatever I like playing. So with that in mind here are some of my favorites:

Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn

Piano Man - Billy Joel

Carolina in My Mind - James Taylor

Chicken Fried - Zac Brown

Moondance - Van Morrison

Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson

I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz

Tiny Dancer - Elton John

Into the Mystic - Van Morrison

Desperado - the Eagles

Satisfaction - Rolling Stones

Joy to the World - Three Dog Night
