What are you playing these days?

I’m working on a set list for a few gigs in the UK next month and for some inexplicable reason have been digging into my back catalog.

– Last Train from Poor Valley (Rice & Blake)
– John Barleycorn Must Die
– The Weight
– If You Were to Wake Up (Lyle Lovett)
– Annabelle (Gillian Welch)

I am in two different bands. Our song lists have about 50 tunes total.

My current project is the Beatles In My Life on Weissenborn in Open D for a wedding.

last week the bassist and I learned Althea and Jackaroe. Chords are easy. Lyrics are much harder to memorize.

Hey Matt,
What’s the occasional ‘Yes’ in the set notation?  Is that you singing?

I think it’s for the pedal steel player for back up vocals, but not entirely sure. I need to buy my own SM 57 and step up.
